Abstract: A pellicle assembly includes a pellicle frame defining a surface onto which a pellicle is, or to be, attached. The pellicle assembly includes one or more three-dimensional expansion structures that allow the pellicle to expand under stress. A pellicle assembly for a patterning device, the pellicle assembly includes one or more actuators for moving the pellicle assembly towards and way from the patterning device.

Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided having a substrate table including a drain configured to receive immersion fluid which leaks into a gap between an edge of a substrate on the substrate table and an edge of a recess in which the substrate is located. A thermal conditioning system is provided to thermally condition at least the portion of the recess supporting the substrate by directing one or more jets of fluid onto a reverse side of the section supporting the substrate.

Abstract: A radiation source includes a fuel supply, a collector, a debris mitigation system, and a temperature control system. The fuel supply device supplies fuel. The excitation device excites the fuel into a plasma. The collector collects radiation emitted by the plasma and directs the radiation to a beam exit. The debris mitigation system collects debris generated by the plasma and has a first component having a first conduit passing therethrough and a second component having a second conduit passing therethrough. The temperature control system increases or decreases temperatures of the first component and the second component by selectively heating or cooling a thermal transfer fluid circulating through the respective conduit. The temperature control system cools the first component to a first temperature that is below the melting point of the fuel and heats the second component to a second temperature that is above the melting point of the fuel.
