    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus which is not influenced by a problem caused by particles produced as a by-product of the EUV radiation production.
    SOLUTION: The lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system that provides a beam of radiation and a support structure that supports a patterning structure. The patterning structure is configured to impart a pattern to the beam of radiation in its cross-section. The apparatus also includes a substrate support that supports a substrate and a projection system that projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The illumination system includes a radiation-production system that produces extreme ultra-violet radiation and a radiation-collection system that collects extreme ultra-violet radiation. Particles that are produced as a by-product of extreme ultra-violet radiation production move substantially in a particle-movement direction. The radiation-collection system is adjusted to collect extreme ultra-violet radiation which radiates in a collection-direction, which is substantially different from the particle-movement direction.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radiation system capable of improving conversion efficiency of EUV radiation/emission plasma, and to provide a lithographic device.SOLUTION: The radiation system includes a target material source for supplying droplets of a target material along a track, and a laser system including an amplifier and an optical system. The optical system establishes a first beam path which passes through the amplifier and a first point on the track, and establishes a second beam path which passes through the amplifier and a second point on the track. When a photon emitted from the amplifier is reflected along the first beam path by the droplet of the target material at the first point on the track, the laser system generates a first pulse of laser radiation. When a photon emitted from the amplifier is reflected along the second beam path by the droplet of the target material at the second point on the track, the laser system generates a second pulse of laser radiation.
