LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, PLASMA SOURCE, AND REFLECTING METHOD

摘要

A lithographic apparatus includes a plasma source that includes a vessel configured to enclose a plasma formation site, an optical device configured to transfer optical radiation to or from the vessel, and a reflector arranged in an optical path between the optical device and the plasma formation site source. The reflector is configured to reflect the optical radiation between the optical device and the plasma formation site. The reflector is formed, in operation, as a molten metal mirror.
