An apparatus and method for detecting extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation is disclosed. The apparatus includes a detector having a top surface, a layer of scintillation material on the top surface of the detector, a layer of spacer material on the layer of scintillation material, and a spectral purity filter layer on the layer of spacer material. The method includes directing the EUV radiation through the spectral purity filter layer and through the spacer material layer. The spacer material layer may be disposed between the spectral purity filter layer and a layer of scintillation material. The method further includes detecting scintillation radiation emitted by the scintillation material using the detector.
