    摘要: A lithographic projection apparatus includes a radiation system configured to form a beam of radiation from radiation emitted by a radiation source, as well as a support configured to hold a patterning device, which when irradiated by the beam of radiation provides the beam of radiation with a pattern. A substrate table is configured to hold a substrate, and a projection system is configured to image an irradiated portion of the patterning device onto a target portion of the substrate. The radiation system further includes an aperture at a distance from the optical axis, a reflector which is placed behind the aperture when seen from the source and a structure placed in a low radiation intensive region behind the aperture.

Furthermore, the lithographic apparatus includes a plurality of EUV sources for providing EUV radiation to the illumination system and a distributor which is arranged to convert the EUV radiation from each of the EUV sources into an intermediate beam of radiation. The intermediate beam of radiation is directed from the distributor in a first direction by a mirror surface. The distributor may include a rotationally driven mirror arrangement, the axis of rotation being non-parallel to the mirror surface.
