    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a source configured to generate a radiation beam comprising desired radiation and undesired radiation using a plasma, an illumination system configured to condition the radiation beam and to receive hydrogen gas during operation of the lithographic apparatus, and a support structure constructed to hold a patterning device. The patterning device is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. A substrate table is constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system is configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The lithographic apparatus is configured such that the radiation beam on entering the projection system includes at least 50% of the undesired radiation that is generated by the plasma and includes wavelengths of radiation that interact with the hydrogen gas to generate hydrogen radicals.

    摘要: A radiation source for generating EUV from a stream of molten metal fuel droplets by LPP (Laser Produced Plasma) or (Dual Laser Plasma) has a fuel droplet generator arranged to provide a stream of droplets of fuel and at least one laser configured to vaporise at least some of said droplets of fuel, whereby radiation is generated. The fuel droplet generator has nozzle, fuel supply line, and reservoir, with a pumping device arranged to supply a flow of molten metal fuel from the reservoir through the fuel feed line and out of the nozzle as a stream of droplets. The fuel droplet generator has a replaceable filter assembly in the fuel feed line, arranged to filter the molten metal fuel in use, to deter nozzle blockage by solid particulate impurities in the fuel.
