    Abstract: A cooling system (10) for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) grazing incidence collector (GIC) mirror assembly (240) having at least one shell (20) with a back surface (22) is disclosed. The cooling system has a plurality of spaced apart circularly configured cooling lines (30) arranged in parallel planes (PL) that are perpendicular to the shell central axis (AC) and that are in thermal contact with and that run around the back surface. Input and output secondary cooling-fluid manifolds (44, 46) are respectively fluidly connected to the plurality of cooling lines to flow a cooling fluid from the input secondary cooling-fluid manifold to the output cooling secondary fluid manifold over two semicircular paths for each cooling line. Separating the cooling fluid input and output locations reduces thermal gradients that can cause local surface deformations in the shell that can lead to degraded focusing performance.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a collector mirror for short-wavelength radiation based on a plasma. It is the object of the invention to find a novel possibility for managing the temperature of a collector mirror for focusing short-wavelength radiation generated from a plasma which allows an efficient thermal connection to be produced between the optically active mirror surface and a thermostat system without the disadvantages relating to space requirements or high-precision manufacture of the collector mirror. This object is met, according to the invention, in that the collector mirror has a solid, rotationally symmetric substrate which comprises a material with high thermal conductivity of more than 50 W/mK and in which channels for cooling and temperature management are incorporated in the substrate so that a heat transport medium can flow through directly and for rapidly stabilizing the temperature of the optically active mirror surface. Heat of transient temperature spikes which occur in pulsed operation for plasma generation at the mirror surface and which temporarily exceed the temperature average by a multiple is quickly dissipated.
