It is proposed in this paper to use discharge plasma supported by terahertz radiation as a source of EUV light for high-resolution lithography. In this report we discuss the experimental investigation of two types of EUV sources based on discharge, supported by powerful gyrotron radiation. Following investigation results are described: -a series of experiments that demonstrate the generation of EUV light from the vacuum-arc discharge plasma in tin vapor in the magnetic trap heated by gyrotron radiation with a frequency of 75 GHz under electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) conditions; -a numerical modeling of the plasma emissivity in the EUV range, depending on the parameters of the heating radiation is performed; -experimental studies of EUV emission from plasma discharge sustained by strong terahertz powerful radiation in inhomogeneous gas flows are started.
