    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for transporting radicals. The arrangement includes a plasma generator and a guiding body. The plasma generator includes a chamber (2) in which a plasma may be formed. The chamber has an inlet (5) for receiving an input gas, and one or more outlets (6) for removal of at least one of the plasma and radicals created therein. The guiding body is hollow and is arranged for guiding radicals formed in the plasma towards an area or volume at which contaminant deposition is to be removed. The chamber inlet is coupled to a pressure device (40) for providing a pulsed pressure into the chamber so as to create a flow in the guiding body.

    Abstract: A lithography system (10) comprising a radiation projection system (20) for projecting radiation onto a substrate, a substrate transport system (30) for loading and positioning the substrate to be processed in the path of the projected radiation, a control system (40) for controlling the substrate transport system to move the substrate, and a resist characterization system (50) arranged for determining whether a specific type of resist is suitable to be exposed by radiation within the lithography system. The resist characterization system (50) may be arranged for exposing the resist on a surface of the substrate with one or more radiation beams, measuring a mass distribution of molecular fragments emitted from the resist, predicting a growth rate of deposited molecular fragments on the basis of a growth rate model and the measured mass distribution, and comparing the expected growth rate with a predetermined threshold growth rate.
