    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for reducing noise in an original signal which contains a linear time-varying signal and the noise.SOLUTION: In the method and apparatus, the original signal is differentiated to obtain a differentiated original signal. The differentiated original signal is Fourier transformed to obtain power spectral densities of the differentiated original signal. A noise frequency is detected in a power spectral density spectrum of the obtained power spectral densities of the differentiated original signal. For the noise frequency, a corresponding noise component is determined. The noise component is subtracted from the original signal to obtain a noise-reduced original signal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce or eliminate the risk of imaging defect.SOLUTION: There is provided a method of adjusting speed and/or routing of a part of a movement plan of a table under an immersion fluid supply system of a lithographic apparatus. The method includes splitting the movement plan of the table into a plurality of discrete movements; determining a risk of a bubble of a size greater than a certain size being present in immersion fluid through which a patterned beam of the lithographic apparatus will pass during a certain discrete movement by determining whether the immersion fluid supply system passes over a position at which immersion fluid leaked from the immersion fluid supply system is present; and adjusting the speed and/or routing of a part of the movement plan corresponding to (i) a discrete movement earlier than a discrete movement for which the risk of a bubble is determined, and/or (ii) a discrete movement for which the risk of a bubble is determined.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce fast ions in a plasma radiation source.SOLUTION: The radiation source includes a first activation source to direct a first energy pulse onto a first spot in the radiation source near discharge space to create a main plasma channel which triggers discharge. The radiation source also has a second activation source to direct a second energy pulse onto a second spot in the radiation source near the discharge space to create an additional plasma channel. By directing the second energy pulse during the same discharge, a shortcut of a main plasma current is realized, which can reduce an amount of fast ions to be produced.
