Abstract: A device manufacturing method includes conditioning a beam of radiation using an illumination system. The conditioning includes controlling an array of individually controllable elements and associated optical components of the illumination system to convert the radiation beam into a desired illumination mode, the controlling including allocating different individually controllable elements to different parts of the illumination mode in accordance with an allocation scheme, the allocation scheme selected to provide a desired modification of one or more properties of the illumination mode, the radiation beam or both. The method also includes patterning the radiation beam having the desired illumination mode with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned beam of radiation, and projecting the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate.

Abstract: A method of modifying a lithographic apparatus comprising an illumination system for providing a radiation beam, a support structure for supporting a patterning device to impart the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section, a first lens for projecting the radiation beam at the patterning device with a first magnification, a substrate table for holding a substrate, and a first projection system for projecting the patterned radiation beam at a target portion of the substrate with a second magnification. The first lens and the first projection system together provide a third magnification. The method comprises reducing by a first factor the first magnification to provide a second lens for projecting the radiation beam with a fourth magnification; and increasing by the first factor the second magnification to provide a second projection system for projecting the patterned radiation beam at the target portion of the substrate with a fifth magnification.

Abstract: A field manipulator to provide high resolution control of position in the XY plane and/or focus control. The field manipulator includes a plate located between the patterning device and the substrate. Control of the XY position is provided by tilting of the plate, while control of the focus position may be provided by localized deformation of the plate. Both adjustments may be performed by one or more actuators that act upon one or more edges of the plate. In an embodiment, two substantially parallel plates are provided and focus control can be provided by changing the spacing between them. A liquid may be provided between the plates which may be temperature controlled to adjust the focus by changing the refractive index of the liquid.

Abstract: A two-dimensional diffraction grating for a phase-stepping measurement system for determining an aberration map for a projection system comprises a substrate provided with a square array of through-apertures, wherein the diffraction grating is self-supporting. It will be appreciated that for a substrate provided with a square array of through-apertures to be self-supporting at least some substrate material is provided between each through-aperture and the adjacent through apertures. A method of designing a two-dimensional diffraction grating for a phase-stepping measurement system for determining an aberration map for a projection system comprises: selecting a general geometry for the two-dimensional diffraction grating, the general geometry having at least one parameter; and selecting values for the least one parameter that result in a grating efficiency map for the two-dimensional diffraction grating so as to control the contributions to a first harmonic of a phase stepping signal.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for suppressing a zeroth order portion of a configured radiation beam. In some embodiments, an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithographic apparatus for forming an image on a substrate by use of an EUV radiation beam that is configured by a patterning device comprising a pattern of reflective regions and partially reflective regions, wherein the partially reflective regions are configured to suppress and apply a phase shift to a portion of the EUV radiation beam, may include a projection system. The projection system may be configured to suppress a zeroth order portion of a configured EUV radiation beam, and direct an unsuppressed portion of a configured EUV radiation beam towards a substrate to form an image on the substrate.

Abstract: A measurement method comprising using multiple radiation poles to illuminate a diffraction grating on a mask at a mask side of a projection system of a lithographic apparatus, coupling at least two different resulting diffraction orders per illumination pole through the projection system, using the projection system to project the diffraction orders onto a grating on a wafer such that a pair of combination diffraction orders is formed by diffraction of the diffraction orders, coupling the combination diffraction orders back through the projection system to detectors configured to measure the intensity of the combination diffraction orders, and using the measured intensity of the combination diffraction orders to measure the position of the wafer grating.

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.
