    摘要: A radiation source generates short-wavelength radiation, such as extreme ultraviolet radiation, for use in lithography. Rotating electrodes are provided which dip into respective baths of liquid metal, for example, tin. An electrical discharge is produced between the electrodes to generate the radiation. Holes are provided in the electrodes and/or in a metal shielding plate around the electrodes to enable better pumping down to low pressure in the vicinity of the discharge to improve the conversion efficiency of the source. The holes in the electrodes improve cooling of the electrodes by causing stirring of the liquid metal, and by improving the thermal and electrical contact between the electrodes and the liquid metal. Improved electrical contact also reduces the time-constant of the discharge circuit, thereby further improving the conversion efficiency of the source.

    摘要: An optical apparatus includes an illumination system configured to form a pulsed radiation beam, an optical element with a surface on which the radiation beam is incident in operation, and a gas source arranged to supply a mixture of a first type of gas and a second type of gas to a space adjacent the surface. Particles of the first and second types of gas are capable of reacting with the surface, when activated by the radiation beam. The gas source is configured to generate a combination of surface occupation numbers of molecules of the first and second types of gas on the surface under operating conditions, at least prior to pulses of the radiation beam, the combination of surface occupation numbers lying in a range in which reactions of particles with the surface during pulses of the radiation beam are in majority reversed.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The lithographic apparatus includes a radiation source that produces EUV radiation, an illumination system that provides a beam of the EUV radiation produced by the radiation source, and a support structure that supports a patterning structure. The patterning structure is configured to impart the beam of radiation with a pattern in its cross-section. The apparatus also includes a substrate support that supports a substrate, and a projection system that projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The radiation source includes a debris-mitigation system that mitigates debris particles which are formed during production of EUV radiation. The debris-mitigation system is configured to provide additional particles for interacting with the debris particles.
