摘要： A module for producing extreme ultraviolet radiation includes a supply configured to supply droplets of an ignition material to a predetermined target ignition position and a laser arranged to be focused on the predetermined target ignition position and to produce a plasma by hitting such a droplet which is located at the predetermined target ignition position in order to change the droplet into an extreme ultraviolet producing plasma. Also, the module includes a collector mirror having a mirror surface constructed and arranged to reflect the radiation in order to focus the radiation on a focal point. A fluid supply is constructed and arranged to form a gas flow flowing away from the mirror surface in a direction transverse with respect to the mirror surface in order to mitigate particle debris produced by the plasma.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for determining a suppression factor of a suppression system. The suppression system is arranged to suppress migration of a contaminant gas out of a first system. The suppression factor is an indication of the performance of the suppression system. The method includes introducing a tracer gas in the sub-system, providing a detection system configured to detect the amount of tracer gas that has migrated out of the first system, determining a first suppression factor for the suppression system for the tracer gas. The method further includes determining a second suppression factor for the suppression system for the contaminant gas based on the first suppression factor.

摘要： A radiation source includes a radiation emitter configured to emit radiation, a collector configured to collect the radiation, and a contamination trap configured to trap contamination emitted by the radiation source. The contamination trap includes a plurality of foils that extend substantially radially, a first magnet ring configured to lie outside of an outer conical trajectory of radiation that is collected by the collector, and a second magnet ring configured to lie within the trajectory of radiation that is collected by the collector. The magnet rings are configured to provide a magnetic field that includes a component that is parallel to the foils.

摘要： A lithographic apparatus including a filter device is disclosed. The filter device has a plurality of foils attached to a holder which is able to rotate around a rotation axis. The foils are arranged substantially parallel to the rotation axis. The foils comprise a uni-directional carbon-fiber composite material selected from the group consisting of carbon-carbon composite (C-C composite) and carbon-silicon carbide composite (C—SiC composite). During operation, the filter device rotates and filters out debris from a radiation source, such as a Sn plasma source. Such a filter device per se may be provided.
