Abstract: Embodiments herein describe methods, devices, and systems for rupture detection and end-of-life monitoring of dynamic gas lock (DGL) membranes and pupil facet mirrors in lithographic apparatuses. A method for detecting rupture of a dynamic gas lock membrane in a lithographic apparatus includes illuminating the dynamic gas lock membrane with a measurement beam using a radiation source, in which the dynamic gas lock membrane is arranged between a wafer and projection optics of the lithography apparatus, and determining whether any radiation from the measurement beam is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane by using reflection collection optics, in which the reflection collection optics are arranged above the dynamic gas lock membrane. A rupture in the dynamic gas lock membrane is detected if no radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane. If radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane, the dynamic gas lock membrane is not ruptured.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses application of a deep eutectic solvent in textile dyeing, belonging to the technical field of ecological dyeing and finishing of textiles. A natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent system (HDES) is first used as a dyeing medium to perform reactive dyeing on cotton. Firstly, the prepared natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent is mixed with a small amount of dye aqueous solution at high speed to prepare dye liquor, and then cotton fabric soaked with alkali liquor is put into a dye bath for dyeing. The dyeing method doesn't require addition of inorganic salts and other dyeing auxiliaries, but uses a small amount of water and alkali agent to achieve the same dyeing effect as traditional water bath, and the dyeing medium is safe and environment-friendly. After dyeing, cyclic dyeing can be achieved by simply separating the dye bath, which truly realizes green dyeing of reactive dyes.
