    摘要: In a lithographic apparatus, a control system is provided to automatically reduce throughput in the event that lens-heating aberrations exceed a certain threshold. The determination of whether lens-heating aberrations will exceed the threshold may be based upon a prediction, e.g. using a lens-heating model, or on measurements taken from a previously exposed substrate. Reduction of throughput of the device manufacture may be effected by reducing beam power or the duty cycle of the apparatus. In a particular embodiment, the time taken for substrate movement between exposure portions is increased.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a support constructed to support a patterning device for imparting a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam and a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The patterning device includes one or more alignment patterns, the lithographic apparatus including a secondary illumination system effective to illuminate each alignment pattern with radiation separate from said radiation beam, the projection system projecting an image of each alignment pattern onto the substrate table. The substrate table includes a number of sensor arrangements, each sensitive to the projected image of one of said alignment patterns.

    摘要: A lithographic projection apparatus is presented, which includes a housing, which comprises therein a first exposure system that has at least one movable part (e.g. a movable first substrate holder or a movable second substrate holder in a twin stage apparatus). The apparatus also includes a position disturbance correction system for correcting a position of the first substrate holder with respect to the patterned projection beam due to the influence of gas pressure differences or gas movements, caused by movements of the movable part. A related device manufacturing method is also presented in which, during the exposure of a first substrate, the position thereof is corrected by means of position disturbance correction system.
