    Abstract: A collector assembly for use in a laser-produced plasma extreme ultraviolet radiation source for use in lithography has a collector body having a collector mirror and a window in the collector body. The window is transmissive to excitation radiation, which may be an infrared laser beam, so that it can pass through the window to excite the plasma, and the window has an EUV minor on its surface which is also transmissive to the excitation beam but which can reflect EUV generated by the plasma to the collector location of the collector mirror. The window may improve the collection efficiency and reduce non-uniformity in the image at the collector location. Radiation sources, lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing methods may make use of the collector.
