The head portion is configured to be rotatably moved on a circular trajectory while maintaining a desired (and/or alternatively predetermined) distance from the curved surface of the EUV light source vessel. The head portion may have a heating member configured to emit heat toward the curved surface of the EUV light source vessel. The heating member may have a shape curved in an arc corresponding to a portion of the circular trajectory.
