Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve efficiency of conversion of electrical energy to radiation. SOLUTION: To improve conversion efficiency of a radiation source including an anode and a cathode, the anode and the cathode being configured and arranged to create a discharge in a substance in a space between the anode and cathode and to form plasma so as to generate electromagnetic radiation, the radiation source unit is constructed to have a low inductance and to operate with a minimum of plasma. To improve heat dissipation, a fluid circulation system is created within the radiation source space and a wick by using a fluid in both its vapor and liquid phases. To prevent contamination from entering a lithographic projection apparatus, the radiation source unit is constructed to minimize the production of contamination, and a trap is employed to capture the contamination without interfering with the emitted radiation.
