    摘要: A method for manufacturing a membrane assembly for EUV lithography, the method including: providing a stack having a planar substrate and at least one membrane layer, wherein the planar substrate includes an inner region and a border region around the inner region; and selectively removing the inner region of the planar substrate. The membrane assembly includes: a membrane formed from the at least one membrane layer; and a border holding the membrane, the border formed from the border region of the planar substrate. The stack is provided with a mechanical protection material configured to mechanically protect the border region during the selectively removing the inner region of the planar substrate.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus comprising a projection system having an optical axis and configured to project a radiation beam. The apparatus comprises a measurement unit arranged to measure the radiation beam projected by the projection system, the measurement unit comprising an opening through which the radiation beam passes in use, and a sensing surface extending transverse to the optical axis and arranged to measure the radiation beam passing through the opening. The lithographic apparatus is configured to move the sensing surface in a plane transverse to the optical axis between a plurality of measurement positions. The radiation beam defines a view in said plane, and the measurement unit is configured such that the sensing surface captures, in each measurement position, a portion of the view smaller than 100% of the view. The present invention comprises a corresponding method.
