摘要： A reflector includes a multi layer mirror structure configured to reflect radiation at a first wavelength, and one or more additional layers. The absorbance and refractive index at a second wavelength of the multi layer mirror structure and the one or more additional layers, and the thickness of the multi layer mirror structure and the one or more additional layers, are configured such that radiation of the second wavelength which is reflected from a surface of the reflector interferes in a destructive manner with radiation of the second wavelength which is reflected from within the reflector.

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.

摘要： A spectral purity filter includes a body of material, through which a plurality of apertures extend. The apertures are arranged to suppress radiation having a first wavelength and to allow at least a portion of radiation having a second wavelength to be transmitted through the apertures. The second wavelength of radiation is shorter than the first wavelength of radiation. The body of material is formed from a material having a bulk reflectance of substantially greater than or equal to 70% at the first wavelength of radiation. The material has a melting point above 1000° C.
