    摘要: A cleaning arrangement for a lithographic apparatus module may be provided in a collector. The cleaning arrangement includes a hydrogen radical source configured to provide a hydrogen radical containing gas to at least part of the module and a pump configured to pump gas through the module such that a flow speed of the hydrogen radical containing gas provided through at least part of the module is at least 1 m/s. The cleaning arrangement may also include a gas shutter configured to modulate a flow of the hydrogen radical containing gas to at least part of the module, a buffer volume of at least 1 m3 in communication with the module, and a pump configured to provide a gas pressure in the buffer volume between 0.001 mbar (0.1 Pa) and 1 mbar (100 Pa).
