An EUV plasma formation target delivery system and method is disclosed
which may comprise: a target droplet formation mechanism comprising a
magneto-restrictive or electro-restrictive material, a liquid plasma
source material passageway terminating in an output orifice; a charging
mechanism applying charge to a droplet forming jet stream or to
individual droplets exiting the passageway along a selected path; a
droplet deflector intermediate the output orifice and a plasma initiation
site periodically deflecting droplets from the selected path, a liquid
target material delivery mechanism comprising a liquid target material
delivery passage having an input opening and an output orifice; an
electromotive disturbing force generating mechanism generating a
disturbing force within the liquid target material, a liquid target
delivery droplet formation mechanism having an output orifice; and/or a
wetting barrier around the periphery of the output orifice.
