Abstract
An extreme ultraviolet light generation device may include: a chamber earthed to a ground, in which extreme ultraviolet light is generated by irradiating a metal target supplied inside with laser light; a target supply unit earthed to the ground and configured to output the target supplied into the chamber from a nozzle; an extraction electrode configured to exert electrostatic force on the target by applying a negative first potential to the extraction electrode; a first power supply configured to apply the first potential to the extraction electrode; an acceleration electrode unit configured to accelerate the target by applying a negative second potential lower than the first potential to the acceleration electrode unit; a second power supply configured to apply the second potential to the acceleration electrode unit; and a charge neutralizer disposed inside the acceleration electrode unit and configured to emit electrons onto the target.
