    Abstract: In some general aspects, a surface of a structure within a chamber of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source is cleaned using a method. The method includes generating a plasma state of a material that is present at a location adjacent to a non-electrically conductive body that is within the chamber. The generation of the plasma state of the material includes electromagnetically inducing an electric current at the location adjacent the non-electrically conductive body to thereby transform the material that is adjacent the non-electrically conductive body from a first state into the plasma state. The plasma state of the material includes plasma particles, at least some of which are free radicals of the material. The method also includes enabling the plasma particles to pass over the structure surface to remove debris from the structure surface without removing the structure from the chamber of the EUV light source.

    Abstract: A coating is disclosed. The coating may be used in an apparatus having a radiation source, e.g. a lithographic apparatus. The coating comprises the elements Si, O, F and, optionally, C and H. An article is also disclosed. The article may be any one of the group consisting of a substrate table, an optical element, a shutter member, a sensor, a projection system, and a confinement structure. At least a portion of a surface of the article is coated with a coating. The coating comprises the elements Si, O, F and, optionally, C and H. The coating may comprise the elements Si, O, C and H.
