    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide more effective radiation sources by, improving the efficiency of the collector assembly, to reduce the excitation power used to produce radiation, to extend the life of the radiation sources by, and to improve the efficiency of light collection for the EUV radiation.
    SOLUTION: A collector assembly for use in a laser-produced plasma extreme ultraviolet radiation source for use in lithography has a collector body 40 having a collecting mirror 42 and a window 43 in the collector body 40. The window is transmissive to excitation radiation beam, which may be an infrared laser beam in general, so that the beam passes through the window to excite the plasma, and the window has an EUV mirror on its surface, which is also transmissive to the excitation radiation beam but which reflects EUV generated by the plasma to the light collecting site of the collecting mirror. The window may improve the collection efficiency and reduce non-uniformity in the image at the light collecting site. Radiation sources, lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing methods may make use of the collector.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent damage to a component of a lithography apparatus, in particular, a mirror located nearby a plasma source due to contaminant particles. SOLUTION: The lithography apparatus includes a radiation source which generates extreme ultraviolet radiation. The radiation source includes a chamber in which plasma is generated and the mirror which reflects radiation emitted by the plasma. The mirror includes a multilayer structure including an Mo/Si alternation layer. A border Mo layer or border Si layer or a border diffusion barrier layer of the alternation layer forms an uppermost layer of the mirror, and the uppermost layer faces the chamber inward. A hydrogen group generator generates hydrogen in the chamber. The hydrogen group removes debris, generated from the plasma, from the mirror. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spectral purity filter capable of holding the mechanical robustness of the spectral purity filter and reducing a manufacturing cost. SOLUTION: There is a problem in a conventional spectral purity filter that since the filter is too miniaturized, manufacturing options usable for the preparation of an apertures are restricted and/or expensive. In the spectral purity filter including apertures, the apertures are configured so as to diffract radiation of a first wavelength and transmit at least a part of the radiation of a second wavelength through them, wherein the second radiation wavelength is shorter than the first radiation wavelength and the apertures have a diameter larger than 20 μm.
