    Abstract: A source-collector device is constructed and arranged to generate a radiation beam, The device includes a target unit constructed and arranged to present a target surface of plasma- forming material; a laser unit constructed and arranged to generate a beam of radiation directed onto the target surface so as to form a plasma from said plasma-forming material; a contaminant trap constructed and arranged to reduce propagation of particulate contaminants generated by the plasma; a radiation collector comprising a plurality of grazing-incidence reflectors arranged to collect radiation emitted by the plasma and form a beam therefrom; and a filter constructed and arranged to attenuate at least one wavelength range of the beam.

    Abstract: A radiation source for generation of extreme ultraviolet radiation or use in high resolution lithography includes a plasma formation site where fuel is contacted by a radiation beam to form a plasma (12) generating EUV radiation. A mirrored collector (10) collects and reflects the EUV radiation generated at a first focus towards a second focus (F2). A contamination barrier (20) is positioned such the periphery of the contamination barrier does not occlude more than 50% of the solid angle subtended by the mirror at the second focus, such that EUV radiation reflected by the collector mirror is not excessively attenuated by passing through the contamination barrier. The contamination barrier serves to trap fuel material such as ions, atoms, molecules or nanodroplets from the plasma to prevent their deposition onto the collector mirror where they reduce the mirror's effective lifetime. Gas extraction ports may be provided near the plasma formation site to suppress diffusion of fuel debris and contamination towards the collector mirror.

    Abstract: A radiation source suitable for providing radiation to a lithographic apparatus generates radiation from a plasma (12) generated from a fuel (31) within an enclosure comprising a gas. The plasma generates primary fuel debris collected as a fuel layer on a debris-receiving surface ((33a), (33b)). The debris-receiving surface is heated to a temperature to maintain the fuel layer as a liquid, and to provide a reduced or zero rate of formation gas bubbles within the liquid fuel layer in order to reduce contamination of optical surfaces (14) by secondary debris arising from gas bubble eruption from the liquid fuel layer. Additionally or alternatively, the radiation source may have a debris receiving surface positioned and/or oriented such that substantially all lines normal to the debris receiving surface do not intersect an optically active surface of the radiation source.

    Abstract: A radiation source is configured to generate radiation. The radiation source includes a fuel droplet generator (6) constructed and arranged to generate a stream of droplets of fuel (34) that are directed to a plasma generation site (32); a laser constructed and arranged to generate a laser beam (4) that is directed to the plasma generation site, an angle between the direction of movement of the stream of droplets and the direction of the laser beam being less than about 90°; and a collector (8) constructed and arranged to collect radiation generated by a plasma formed at the plasma formation site when the beam of radiation and a droplet collide. The collector is configured to reflect the radiation substantially along an optical axis of the radiation source. The laser beam is directed to the plasma generation site through an aperture provided in the collector.
