摘要： A system and method are used to detect thermal radiation from a mask. Debris particles on the mask heat up, but do not cool down as quickly as the surrounding mask. Due to the temperature difference, the wavelength of radiation emitted by particles and the mask differs. Thus by detecting the thermal radiation, it is possible to detect the presence of particles deposited on the mask. If particles are detected, the mask can be cleaned.

摘要： A contaminant trap is used in an EUV radiation source apparatus. An EUV radiation beam is generated and focused through a low pressure gaseous atmosphere into a virtual source point. The EUV radiation creates a plasma in the low pressure hydrogen atmosphere through which it passes. A contaminant trap including electrodes is located in or around radiation beam as it approaches the virtual source point. A DC biasing source is connected to the electrodes to create an electric field oriented to deflect out of the beam path contaminant particles that have been negatively charged by the plasma. Additional RF electrodes and/or an ionizer enhance the plasma to increase the charging of the particles. The deflecting electrodes can be operated with RF bias for a short time, to ensure dissipation of the enhanced plasma.

摘要： A radiation source having a fuel stream generator (110) that generates and directs a fuel stream (102) along a trajectory towards a plasma formation location (104). A pre-pulse laser radiation assembly directs a first beam of laser radiation (100) at the fuel stream at the plasma formation location to generate a modified fuel target (106). A main pulse laser radiation assembly directs a second beam of laser radiation (108) at the modified fuel target at the plasma formation location to generate a radiation generating plasma (117). A collector (122) collects the radiation and directs it along an optical axis (105) of the radiation source. The first beam of laser radiation being directed toward the fuel stream substantially along the optical axis.

摘要： A transmissive spectral purity filter is configured to transmit extreme ultraviolet radiation. The spectral purity filter includes a filter part having a plurality of apertures to transmit extreme ultraviolet radiation and to suppress transmission of a second type of radiation. The apertures may be manufactured in carrier material such as silicon by an anisotropic etching process and topped with a reflective layer such as Mo metal, Ru metal, TiN or RuO. A diffusion barrier layer such as silicon nitride Si3N4, or silicon dioxide SiO2 is provided between the metal and the semiconductor to prevent diffusion and silicidation of the metal at elevated temperatures. The diffusion barrier layer may also serve as a hydrogen-resistant layer on parts of the semiconductor which are not beneath the reflective layer, and/or enhance emissivity for removal of heat from the structure.
