Debris mitigation system and lithographic apparatus

摘要

A debris mitigation system for trapping contaminant material coming from a debris-generating radiation source. The system includes a contamination barrier constructed and arranged to rotate about an axis, and a magnet structure constructed and arranged to provide a magnetic field for deflecting charged debris from the radiation source. The magnet structure is constructed and arranged to provide a magnetic field through the contamination barrier. The magnetic field, when passing through the contamination barrier, is oriented along planes generally coinciding with the axis of rotation of the contamination barrier.
