    Abstract: A grazing incidence reflector (300) for EUV radiation includes a first mirror layer (310) and a multilayer mirror structure (320) beneath the first mirror layer. The first mirror layer reflects at least partially EUV radiation incident on the reflector with grazing incidence angles in a first range, and the first mirror layer transmits EUV radiation in a second range of incidence angles, which overlaps and extends beyond the first range of incidence angles. The multilayer mirror structure reflects EUV radiation that is incident on the reflector with grazing incidence angles in a second range that penetrates through the first mirror layer. A grazing incidence reflector can be used in a lithographic apparatus and in manufacturing a device by a lithographic process.

    Abstract: A transmissive spectral purity filter configured to transmit extreme ultraviolet radiation includes a filter part having a plurality of apertures to transmit extreme ultraviolet radiation and to suppress transmission of a second type of radiation. The apertures may be manufactured in semiconductor material such as silicon by an anisotropic etching process. The semiconductor material is provided with a hydrogen-resistant layer, such as silicon nitride Si 3 N 4 , silicon dioxide SiO 2 , or silicon carbide SiC. Roughness features may be exaggerated in the sidewalls of the apertures. The filter part may be less than about 20 μm thick with apertures about 2 μm to about 4 μm in width.

    Abstract: A free electron laser comprising: an electron source (21), a linear accelerator (22), an undulator (26), electron beam optics and a deceleration unit (28'). The electron source is operable to produce a bunched electron beam. The linear accelerator arranged to impart energy to electrons in the bunched electron beam produced by the electron source. The undulator is operable to produce a periodic magnetic field and is arranged so as to guide the bunched electron beam along a periodic path about a central axis of the undulator such that they interact with radiation in the undulator, stimulating emission of coherent radiation. The electron beam optics is arranged to direct the bunched electron beam back into the linear accelerator after it leaves the undulator so as to extract energy from electrons in the bunched electron beam. The deceleration unit is arranged to extract energy from electrons in the bunched electron beam after it has left the undulator. The deceleration unit comprises one or more resonant cavities (33), and an energy dissipation mechanism. The bunched electron beam is directed through the one or more resonant cavities so as to excite one or more resonant standing wave modes therein.

    Abstract: An EUV radiation source comprises a laser beam delivery system for delivering a beam to a target position. EUV radiation is emitted by a plasma at a position and is collected by a grazing incidence collector and focused to a desired position. A debris trap (140') is provided to prevent contamination from the plasma reaching the collector and other optical surfaces. The laser beam delivery system is designed to provide said laser radiation with a modified intensity distribution comprising substantially all the energy of the incoming radiation, but having regions (202, 204) of low intensity corresponding to the locations of parts (142, 144') of the debris trap. In an example with a rotating foil trap, a rotating, segmented intensity distribution is generated using facetted axicon elements. A central low intensity region allows bearing, drive and cooling apparatus to be mounted at the hub of the debris trap.

    Abstract: A radiation source for a lithographic apparatus uses a plurality of fiber lasers to ignite a fuel droplet at an ignition location to generate EUV radiation. The fiber lasers may be provided to emit parallel to an optical axis and a telescopic optical system is provided to focus the lasers at the ignition location, or the lasers may be directed towards the optical axis with a final focus lens being used to reduce beam waist. The lasers may be provided in two or more groups to allow them to be independently controlled and some of the lasers may be focused at a different location to provide a pre-pulse. Radiation from fiber lasers may also be combined using dichroic mirrors.
