Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method |
摘要 |
A lithographic projection apparatus includes a laser cleaning device. The laser cleaning device is constructed and arranged to clean a surface. The laser cleaning device includes a laser source constructed and arranged to generate radiation, and an optical element constructed and arranged to focus the radiation in a focal point in order to generate a cleaning plasma in a background gas above the surface. The laser cleaning device is further provided with a gas supply constructed and arranged to generate a jet of protection gas at a location near the plasma. |

1. A laser cleaning device constructed and arranged to clean a surface, the laser cleaning device comprising:
a laser source constructed and arranged to generate radiation; a first gas supply constructed and arranged to generate a background gas; an optical element constructed and arranged to focus the radiation in a focal point above the surface in order to generate a cleaning plasma in the background gas above the surface; and a second gas supply constructed and arranged to separately generate a jet of protection gas at a location near the plasma to avoid damage to the surface, wherein the protection gas is provided in another direction, different from a direction of the radiation. |
