Abstract: A method of patterning lithographic substrates that includes using a free electron laser to generate EUV radiation and delivering the EUV radiation to a lithographic apparatus which projects the EUV radiation onto lithographic substrates. The method further includes reducing fluctuations in the power of EUV radiation delivered to the lithographic substrates by using a feedback-based control loop to monitor the free electron laser and adjust operation of the free electron laser accordingly, and applying variable attenuation to EUV radiation that has been output by the free electron laser in order to further control the power of EUV radiation delivered to the lithographic apparatus.

Abstract: A radiation source comprises: an emitter for emitting a fuel target towards a plasma formation region; a laser system for hitting the target with a laser beam to generating a plasma; a collector for collecting radiation emitted by the plasma; an imaging system configured to capture an image of the target; one or more markers at the collector and within a field of view of the imaging system; and a controller. The controller receives data representative of the image; and controls operation of the radiation source in dependence on the data.
