Abstract: Methods and apparatus for producing irradiation targets in an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source having an irradiation target generating system that includes a nozzle configured for ejecting droplets of a target material, and a subsystem having an electro-actuable element producing a modulation waveform to cause disturbance to the droplets thereby causing at least some of the droplets to coalesce into irradiation targets. There is included a laser producing a beam for irradiating the irradiation targets to generate an EUV-producing plasma, wherein the electro-actuable element is biased against the nozzle to enable transfer of the disturbance to the droplets while permitting relative movement between the electro-actuable element and the nozzle.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for detecting a particle on a substrate surface. An example method can include receiving, by a grating structure, coherent radiation from a radiation source. The method can further include generating, by the grating structure, a focused coherent radiation beam based on the coherent radiation. The method can further include transmitting, by the grating structure, the focused coherent radiation beam toward a region of a surface of a substrate. The method can further include receiving, by the grating structure, photons scattered from the region in response to illuminating the region with the focused coherent radiation beam. The method can further include measuring, by a photodetector, the photons received by the grating structure. The method can further include generating, by the photodetector and based on the measured photons, an electronic signal for detecting a particle located in the region of the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A sample inspection tool is described. The inspection tool includes a light source configured to produce effective inspection radiation below 200 nm, a sample holder, an imaging sub-system containing sub-system components that delivers light along an optical path from the light source to a sample to be held by the sample holder, and a barrier positioned between the last sub-system component in the optical path and the sample to be held by the sample holder. The barrier permits the radiation to pass therethrough while inhibiting impurities from reaching the sample to be held by the sample holder. In another embodiment, a barrier is provided for use in an inspection tool.

Abstract: A method includes irradiating a target structure with sequential illumination shots, directing scattered beams from the target structure towards an imaging detector, generating a detection signal using the imaging detector, and determining a property of the target structure based on at least the detection signal. An integration time for each illumination shot of the sequential illumination shots is selected so to reduce a low frequency error.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus has a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate and a projection system configured to project a radiation beam onto the substrate held by the substrate holder. There is also a fluid handling system configured to confine immersion liquid to a space between a part of the projection system and a surface of the substrate so that the radiation beam can irradiate the surface of the substrate by passing through the immersion liquid. An excitation device is provided to generate surface acoustic waves in the substrate and propagating toward the immersion liquid.

Abstract: A dark field metrology device includes an objective lens arrangement and a zeroth order block to block zeroth order radiation. The objective lens arrangement directs illumination onto a specimen to be measured and collects scattered radiation from the specimen, the scattered radiation including zeroth order radiation and higher order diffracted radiation. The dark field metrology device is operable to perform an illumination scan to scan illumination over at least two different subsets of the maximum range of illumination angles; and simultaneously perform a detection scan which scans the zeroth order block and/or the scattered radiation with respect to each other over a corresponding subset of the maximum range of detection angles during at least part of the illumination scan.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an multi-array lens configured in use to focus a plurality of beamlets of charged particles along a multi-beam path, wherein each lens in the array comprises: an entrance electrode; a focussing electrode and a support. The focusing electrode is down beam of the entrance electrode along a beamlet path and is configured to be at a potential different from the entrance electrode. The support is configured to support the focusing electrode relative to the entrance electrode. The focusing electrode and support are configured so that in operation the lens generates a rotationally symmetrical field around the beamlet path.
