    Abstract: A monochromator 18 has a thin faceplate which reduces temperature-induced distortion in a strain-free region by placing it close to a two-level heat exchanger 46, 64. The heat exchanger has a first level 46 in juxtaposition with the faceplate 22 for efficient heat extraction, and a second level 64 which establishes a constant temperature plane along a neutral bending axis of the monochromator 18. The first level heat exchanger is operated at a temperature below the zero CTE point of the silicon faceplate so that the integrated CTE of the faceplate is approximately zero. Pumps 30 and 32 are disposed respectively at the coolant inlets 26 and outlets 28 for fine-tuning the coolant pressure so that a minimal pressure across the faceplate 22 may be established to minimize bending moments on the thin faceplate. The upper and lower heat exchangers 46, 64 are comprised of a plurality of micro-channels which are divided into groups, each group associated with a macro-channel 40, 60 and a return plenum 48, 68 which tapers down to an orifice 50, 72, which is connected to a return header 52, 74. The sizes of the orifices 50, 72 may be adjusted to control the amount of coolant flow through each macro channel so that the cooling provided may be matched to the heat absorbed by the faceplate.

    Abstract: A double-crystal X-ray monochromator includes entrance and exit crystal assemblies mounted on a support structure to provide full parallelism of the crystals while one crystal is rotated and the other rotated and translated with respect to the first, allowing selection of the wavelength of X-rays to be passed through the monochromator. The monochromator is mounted in an ultra-high vacuum chamber by supports which pass through the vacuum chamber to support the monochromator independently of the vacuum chamber. Bearings supporting the monochromator provide very low friction to linear movement and rotation to allow high precision to be obtained. To compensate for the heating of the entrance crystal due to impingement of high energy X-rays on the crystal, the entrance crystal is cooled using a radiation heat transfer system which provides no physical contact between the radiator connected to the entrance crystal assembly and the heat transfer structure on the vacuum chamber. The exit crystal may be heated so that its temperature can be matched to that of the entrance crystal to allow the precision alignment of the crystals to be maintained.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a source collector module which is inexpensive, simple and tough.SOLUTION: Grazing incidence collectors (GIC) mirrors M1, M2 are used in a source collector module for generating laser generating plasma (LPP) that emits EUV radiation. LPP is formed by using an LPP target system having a light source portion and a target portion. A pulse laser beam from the light source portion is applied to liquid xenon in the target portion. The GIC mirror is arranged relatively to LPP, receives EUV 30 at an incident end thereof and focuses the received EUV at an intermediate focus point IF adjacent to an emission end thereof. In order to increase the amount of EUV to be supplied to the intermediate focus point and further/or guided to an illuminator at the downstream side, a radiation collection enhancing device having at least one funnel portion is used.
