    Abstract: The invention relates to a contamination prevention system (71) comprising a rotatable channel barrier (72), which is driven by means of a suitable bearing (73,74). The contamination prevention system (71) according to the invention is arranged with a cooling system (75) provided substantially in a vicinity of the bearing (73). The cooling system (75) may comprise conducts (75a) through which a suitable fluid coolant, notably gas, is provided. It is possible that the gas is supplied via a central channel (79a) provided in a shaft of the contamination prevention system. Additionally, a supplementary cooling system (76) may be provided arranged with suitable conducts (76a). Because this cooling system (76) is arranged on the periphery of the contamination prevention system (71), it may use water as a suitable coolant. The invention further relates to a lithographic projection apparatus, a radiation source and a method of manufacturing an integrated structure.

    Abstract: A rotatable contamination barrier (1) is disclosed. The barrier includes a plurality of closely packed blades (5) for trapping contaminant material coming from an EUV radiation source (2). The blades are oriented radially relative to a central rotation axis of the contamination barrier. The contamination barrier is segmented in an inner segment (7) and an outer segment (8) relative to the central rotation axis. Accordingly, higher revolution speeds may be attained without compromising the contamination barrier.
