Abstract:
A contamination trap for use in a debris mitigation system of a radiation source, the contamination trap comprising a plurality of vanes configured to trap fuel debris emitted from a plasma formation region of the radiation source; wherein at least one vane or each vane of the plurality of vanes comprises a material comprising a thermal conductivity above 30 W m−1 K−1.
Abstract:
A fluid handling structure for a lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The fluid handling structure has a plurality of openings arranged in plan, in a line. The fluid handling structure is configured such that the openings are directed, in use, towards a facing surface, the facing surface being a substrate and/or a substrate table. The substrate table is configured to support the substrate. Outward of the line of openings is a damper. The damper may have a width that varies along the line of openings. The damper width is defined between the line of openings and an opposing damper edge.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying a liquid target material to a radiation source, comprising a first reservoir, a pressurizing system configured to pressurize a hydraulic fluid, and a separating device configured to separate the hydraulic fluid from the liquid target material in the first reservoir and to transfer a pressure from the hydraulic fluid to the liquid target material. The invention also relates to an associated method of supplying liquid target material to a radiation source.
