Radiation source and lithographic apparatus |
摘要 |
The present invention provides a method of monitoring the operation of a radiation source fuel droplet stream generator comprising a fuel-containing capillary and a piezo-electric actuator (500). The method comprises analyzing the resonance frequency spectrum of a system comprising the fuel-containing capillary and the piezo-electric actuator in particular to look for changes in the resonance frequencies of the acoustic system which may be indicative of a change in the properties of the system requiring investigation. |

1. A method of monitoring operation of a radiation source fuel droplet stream generator comprising a capillary and a piezo-electric actuator that are coupled to each other, the method comprising:
using the capillary to contain a fuel; and analyzing a resonance frequency spectrum of the coupled capillary and piezo-electric actuator during the operation of the radiation source fuel droplet stream generator using the coupled capillary and piezo-electric actuator. |
