Abstract: A lithographic apparatus comprising a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam to form an exposure area on a substrate, a cooling apparatus located in use above the substrate adjacent to the exposure area, the cooling apparatus being configured to remove heat from the substrate during use, a plasma vessel located below the cooling apparatus with its opening facing towards the cooling apparatus, and a gas supply for supplying gas to the plasma vessel and an aperture for receipt of a radiation beam. In use, supplied gas and a received radiation beam react to form a plasma within the plasma vessel that is directed towards a surface of the cooling apparatus which faces the opening of the plasma vessel.

Abstract: Membranes for EUV lithography are disclosed. In one arrangement, a membrane has a stack having layers in the following order: a first capping layer including an oxide of a first metal; a base layer including a compound having a second metal and an additional element selected from the group consisting of Si, B, C and N; and a second capping layer including an oxide of a third metal, wherein the first metal is different from the second metal and the third metal is the same as or different from the first metal.

Abstract: A radiation source for a lithographic apparatus uses a plurality of fiber lasers to ignite a fuel droplet at an ignition location to generate EUV radiation. The fiber lasers may be provided to emit parallel to an optical axis and a telescopic optical system is provided to focus the lasers at the ignition location, or the lasers may be directed towards the optical axis with a final focus lens being used to reduce beam waist. The lasers may be provided in two or more groups to allow them to be independently controlled and some of the lasers may be focused at a different location to provide a pre-pulse. Radiation from fiber lasers may also be combined using dichroic mirrors.
