Abstract: A radiation sensor apparatus for determining a position and/or power of a radiation beam, the radiation sensor apparatus including a chamber to contain a gas, one or more sensors, and a processor. The chamber has a first opening and a second opening such that a radiation beam can enter the chamber through the first opening, propagate through the chamber generally along an axis, and exit the chamber through the second opening. Each of the one or more sensors is arranged to receive and detect radiation emitted from a region of the chamber around the axis. The processor is operable to use the radiation detected by the one or more sensors to determine a position and/or power of the radiation beam.

Abstract: A measurement system to determine a deformation of an object having a front surface, a back surface and a pattern. The measurement system includes a processor system and an interferometer system. The interferometer system has a radiation source and a detector system. The source is configured to emit, to each of a plurality of locations on the object, measurement beams in order to generate, at each of the respective plurality of locations, reflected measurement beams off the front and back surfaces of the object respectively. The detector system is configured to receive the respective reflected measurement beams and output signals representative of the received reflected measurement beams to the processor system. The processor system is configured to receive the signals; determine, based on the signals as received, a characteristic of the object; and determine a deformation of the pattern based on the characteristic.

Abstract: A beam (542, 556) of inspection radiation is generated by focusing infrared (IR) radiation (540) at a source location so as to generate the inspection radiation (542) by high-harmonic generation in a gas cell (532). An illumination optical system (512) focuses the inspection radiation into a spot (S) of radiation by imaging the source location onto a metrology target (T). In one embodiment, the same illumination optical system forms a spot of the IR radiation onto a target material. A spot of visible radiation is generated by second harmonic generation at the metrology target. The visible spot is observed by an alignment camera (564). A special alignment target (592) may be provided, or material present in or near the metrology target can be used. In another embodiment, the spot is imaged using a portion (758) of the inspection radiation reflected by the target.

Abstract: An undulator for a free electron laser includes a pipe for an electron beam and one or more periodic magnetic structures extending axially along the pipe. Each periodic magnetic structure includes a plurality of magnets and a plurality of passive ferromagnetic elements, the plurality of magnets being arranged alternately with the plurality of passive ferromagnetic elements in a line extending in an axial direction. Each of the plurality of magnets is spatially separated from the pipe, and each of the passive ferromagnetic elements extends radially from an adjacent magnet towards the pipe. A spacer element may be provided between the magnets and the pipe to provide radiation shielding for the magnets and/or cooling for the pipe.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus injects gas between a reticle (MA) and reticle blades (REB-X, REB-Y) to protect the reticle from contamination. The gas may be injected either into the space defined between the reticle and the closest pair of reticle blades, or into the space defined between the two pairs of reticle blades.

Abstract: A radiation source comprises: an emitter for emitting a fuel target towards a plasma formation region; a laser system for hitting the target with a laser beam to generating a plasma; a collector for collecting radiation emitted by the plasma; an imaging system configured to capture an image of the target; one or more markers at the collector and within a field of view of the imaging system; and a controller. The controller receives data representative of the image; and controls operation of the radiation source in dependence on the data.
