US Patent 7170586 Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method

A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system configured to provide a beam of radiation, a support configured to support a patterning device, a substrate table and a projection system. Furthermore, the lithographic apparatus includes a plurality of EUV sources for providing EUV radiation to the illumination system and a distributor which is arranged to convert the EUV radiation from each of the EUV sources into an intermediate beam of radiation. The intermediate beam of radiation is directed from the distributor in a first direction by a mirror surface. The distributor may include a rotationally driven mirror arrangement, the axis of rotation being non-parallel to the mirror surface.
