Abstract:
A radiation collector (141) comprising a plurality of reflective surfaces (400-405), wherein each of the plurality of reflective surfaces is coincident with part of one of a plurality of ellipsoids (40-45), wherein the plurality of ellipsoids have in common a first focus (12) and a second focus (16), each of the plurality of reflective surfaces coincident with a different one of the plurality of ellipsoids, wherein the plurality of reflective surfaces are configured to receive radiation originating from the first focus (12) and reflect the radiation to the second focus (16). An apparatus (820) shown in figure 11 comprising a cooling system (832) and a reflector (831), wherein the cooling system is configured to cool the reflector, the cooling system comprising: a porous structure (823) situated in thermal contact with the reflector, wherein the porous structure is configured to receive a coolant in a liquid phase state; a condenser (825) configured to receive coolant from (826) the porous structure in a vapour phase state, condense the coolant thereby causing the coolant to undergo a phase change to a liquid phase state and output the condensed coolant in the liquid phase state for entry (827) into the porous structure.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a particle trap for a plasma EUV radiation source, a lithography apparatus comprising a particle trap and a device manufacturing method. In an embodiment, the particle trap includes a rotatable hub, and a plurality of blades extending outwards from the hub. Each of the blades has an end anchoring portion inserted into a complementary slot in the hub, the end anchoring portion and slot being configured to hold the blades within the hub during rotation of the hub.
Abstract:
A radiation source comprising a fuel source configured to deliver fuel to a location from which the fuel emits EUV radiation. The radiation source further comprises an immobile fuel debris receiving surface provided with a plurality of grooves. The grooves have orientations which are arranged to direct the flow of liquid fuel under the influence of gravity in one or more desired directions.
Abstract:
A source collector apparatus includes a plasma generation apparatus arranged to excite a fuel to form a radiation emitting plasma, a collector arranged to collect the radiation, and a contamination receiving apparatus, wherein the contamination receiving apparatus is provided with a porous structure.
Abstract:
A contaminant trap apparatus arranged in a path of a radiation beam to trap contaminants emanating from a radiation source configured to produce the radiation beam is disclosed. The contaminant trap apparatus includes a rotor having a plurality of channel forming elements defining channels which are arranged substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the radiation beam, the rotor including electrically chargeable material and arranged to be electrically charged as a result of the operation of the radiation source; and a bearing configured to rotatably hold the rotor with respect to a rotor carrying structure, wherein the apparatus is configured to (i) control or redirect an electrical discharge of the rotor, or (ii) suppress an electrical discharge of the rotor, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).
