Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) discharge-based lamps for EUV lithography need to generate extremely high power in the narrow spectrum band of . A simplified time-dependent collisional-radiative model and radiative transfer solution were utilized to investigate the wavelength-integrated Lyman- line light outputs in a hydrogen-like lithium ion. The study reveals in particular that a steady-state or magnetically confined lithium plasma radiates in the desired spectrum band not less than 1 kW in even at an ion density region as low as .
