20100051064METHOD OF CLEANING AND AFTER TREATMENT OF OPTICAL SURFACES IN AN IRRADIATION UNIT - The present invention relates to a method of cleaning and after treatment of optical surfaces in an irradiation unit, said irradiation unit comprising a radiation source (03-04-2010
20100051827METHOD OF CLEANING OPTICAL SURFACES OF AN IRRADIATION UNIT IN A TWO-STEP PROCESS - The present invention provides a method of cleaning optical surfaces in an irradiation unit in order to remove contaminations deposited on said optical surfaces. The method includes a cleaning step in which a first gas or gas mixture is brought into contact with said optical surfaces thereby forming a volatile compound with a first portion of said contaminations. In an operation pause of the irradiation unit prior to the cleaning step, a pretreatment step is performed, in which a second gas or gas mixture is brought into contact with said optical surfaces. Said second gas or gas mixture is selected to react with a second portion of said contaminations different from said first portion to form a reaction product, which is able to form a volatile compound with said first gas or gas mixture.03-04-2010
20110002569DEBRIS MITIGATION DEVICE WITH ROTATING FOIL TRAP AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY - The present invention relates to a debris mitigation device for use with a radiation source (01-06-2011
20110048452METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLEANING AT LEAST ONE OPTICAL COMPONENT - A method of cleaning at least one optical component of at least one irradiation device is described, which device comprises at least one radiation source in a vacuum chamber, which source generates in particular extreme ultraviolet and/or soft X-ray radiation whose rays are guided via the optical component onto a workpiece to be treated, during which said optical component is at least partly polluted because of an inorganic substance introduced by the radiation source.03-03-2011
20110133621ROTATING WHEEL ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR GAS DISCHARGE SOURCES COMPRISING WHEEL COVER FOR HIGH POWER OPERATION - The present invention relates to an electrode device (06-09-2011
20110133641ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR GAS DISCHARGE SOURCES AND METHOD OF OPERATING A GAS DISCHARGE SOURCE HAVING THIS ELECTRODE DEVICE - The present invention relates to an electrode device for gas discharge sources, a gas discharge source comprising such an electrode device and to a method of operating the gas discharge source. The electrode device comprises an electrode wheel (06-09-2011
