摘要： A radiation system includes a contamination barrier, e.g., a foil trap, between a collector, for example a normal incidence collector, and a radiation source, such that radiation coming from the source passes the foil trap twice. The radiation passes the contamination barrier once before hitting the collector and a second time after reflection by the collector. The foil trap includes lamellas that are parallel to both the radiation coming from the light source, and to the radiation reflected by the collector. The radiation is thus not obstructed by the foil trap. In this way, a normal incidence collector, which is used with a plasma produced source, can be protected from debris coming from a EUV source.

摘要： The invention relates to a filter window for EUV lithography comprising a pellicle, a wire structure for supporting the pellicle, characterized in that the pellicle comprises a first layer comprising at least one of AlN, Ru, Ir, Au, SiN, Rh, C. A pellicle with these materials has a very low EUV absorption in combination with a minimal oxidation rate. In a particular embodiment, the thickness of the pellicle is between 30 nm and 100 nm. It can be easily checked that absorption of EUV radiation of such a thin pellicle is equal to known filter windows, i.e. about 50% at a wavelength of 13.5 nm wavelength, but the oxidation of the pellicle according to the invention is much smaller. The filter window can for example be used to separate a Projection Optics box and a wafer compartment of the apparatus or to shield a reticle from particle contamination.

摘要： The present invention relates to a controller (30) for controlling the light-output of two light-emitting devices (10, 20). The two light-emitting devices are adapted to provide a McCandless effect on an illuminated object (40). The controller (30) comprises a first user interface for a user to set a first color (11) to be output by a first light-emitting device (10) and second user interface for a user to set a desired mixed color (81) of a common area (80) being illuminated by both light-emitting devices (10, 20). The controller (30) further comprises a processing circuitry for determining first lighting parameters resulting in said first color (11) when provided to the first light-emitting device (10), and for determining second lighting parameters resulting in a second color (21) when provided to a second light-emitting device (20). A mix of the first color (11) and the second color (21) provides the mixed color (81). The first color (11) and the mixed color (81) are represented in a color space chromaticity diagram such that they define a line and the second color (21) is determined such that it is located on said line in the color space chromaticity diagram on an opposite side of the desired mixed color (81) relative to the first color (11). Further, the second color (21) is determined by the processing circuitry such that the desired mixed color (81) is achieved when the first (11) and the second (21) colors are mixed.
