Abstract: A patterning device, for use in forming a marker on a substrate by optical projection, the patterning device including a marker pattern having a density profile that is periodic with a fundamental spatial frequency corresponding to a desired periodicity of the marker to be formed. The density profile is modulated (such as sinusoidally) so as to suppress one or more harmonics of the fundamental frequency, relative to a simple binary profile having the fundamental frequency.

Abstract: A lithographic projection apparatus is disclosed for use with an immersion liquid positioned between the projection system and a substrate. Several methods and mechanism are disclosed to protect components of the projection system, substrate table and a liquid confinement system. These include providing a protective coating on a final element of the projection system as well as providing one or more sacrificial bodies upstream of the components. A two component final optical element of CaF2 is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a lithographic apparatus, a localized area of the substrate surface under a projection system is immersed in liquid. The height of a liquid supply system above the surface of the substrate can be varied using actuators. A control system uses feedforward or feedback control with input of the surface height of the substrate to maintain the liquid supply system at a predetermined height above the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A lithographic method for measuring a position of a target grating with a mask sensor apparatus which comprises a plurality of detector modules each comprising a diffraction grating located at a mask side of a projection system of a lithographic apparatus and an associated detector, the method comprising a first step of measuring first intensities of a combination of diffraction orders diffracted from the target grating while the mask sensor apparatus is moved relatively to the target grating along a first direction; a second step of displacing the mask sensor apparatus relative to the target grating in a second direction, wherein a size of the relative displacement is proportional to a spatial frequency of a potential error; and a third step of measuring second intensities of the combination of diffraction orders diffracted from the target grating while the mask sensor apparatus is moved relatively to the target grating along the first direction.

Abstract: A patterning device comprising a reflective marker, wherein the marker comprises: a plurality of reflective regions configured to preferentially reflect radiation having a given wavelength; and a plurality of absorbing regions configured to preferentially absorb radiation having the given wavelength; wherein the absorbing and reflective regions are arranged to form a patterned radiation beam reflected from the marker when illuminated with radiation, and wherein the reflective regions comprise a roughened reflective surface, the roughened reflective surface being configured to diffuse radiation reflected from the reflective regions, and wherein the roughened reflective surface has a root mean squared roughness of about an eighth of the given wavelength or more.

Abstract: A method of determining a configuration of a projection system for a lithographic apparatus, wherein manipulators of the projection system manipulate optical elements so as to adjust its optical properties, the method comprising: receiving dependencies of the optical properties of the projection system on a configuration of the manipulators, receiving a plurality of constraints of the manipulators, formulating a cost function, wherein the cost function represents a difference between the optical properties of the projection system for a given configuration of the manipulators and desired optical properties, wherein the cost function is formulated using the dependency of the optical properties on the configuration of the manipulators, scaling the cost function into a scaled variable space, wherein the scaling is performed by using the plurality of constraints and finding a solution configuration of the manipulators which substantially minimizes the scaled cost function subject to satisfying the plurality of constraints.

Abstract: A substrate table of an immersion lithographic apparatus is disclosed which comprises a barrier configured to collect liquid. The barrier surrounds the substrate and is spaced apart from the substrate. In this way any liquid which is spilt from the liquid supply system can be collected to reduce the risk of contamination of delicate components of the lithographic projection apparatus.
