RADIATION SOURCE, LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A radiation source for generating extreme ultraviolet radiation for a lithographic apparatus has a debris mitigation device comprising a nozzle arranged at or near an intermediate focus (IF) of the beam of radiation. The nozzle serves to direct a flow of gas (330) towards the radiation source or collector optic in order to deflect particulate debris (43) emitted by the radiation source.
