摘要:
A radiation system for generating a beam of radiation that defines an optical axis is provided. The radiation system includes a plasma produced discharge source for generating EUV radiation. The discharge source includes a pair of electrodes constructed and arranged to be provided with a voltage difference, and a system for producing a plasma between the pair of electrodes so as to provide a discharge in the plasma between the electrodes. The radiation system also includes a debris catching shield for catching debris from the electrodes. The debris catching shield is constructed and arranged to shield the electrodes from a line of sight provided in a predetermined spherical angle relative the optical axis, and to provide an aperture to a central area between the electrodes in the line of sight.

A cleaning arrangement for a lithographic apparatus module may be provided in a collector. The cleaning arrangement includes a hydrogen radical source configured to provide a hydrogen radical containing gas to at least part of the module and a pump configured to pump gas through the module such that a flow speed of the hydrogen radical containing gas provided through at least part of the module is at least 1 m/s. The cleaning arrangement may also include a gas shutter configured to modulate a flow of the hydrogen radical containing gas to at least part of the module, a buffer volume of at least 1 m3 in communication with the module, and a pump configured to provide a gas pressure in the buffer volume between 0.001 mbar (0.1 Pa) and 1 mbar (100 Pa). The cleaning arrangement may further include a gas return system.
