摘要:
In a lithographic projection apparatus, a liquid supply system provides liquid in a space between the final element of the projection system and the substrate of the lithographic projection apparatus. A shutter member is provided to contain liquid in the liquid supply system during, for example, substrate exchange.

A lithographic projection apparatus includes a support structure configured to hold a patterning device, the patterning device configured to pattern a beam of radiation according to a desired pattern; a substrate table configured to hold a substrate; a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate; a liquid supply system configured to provide liquid to a space between the projection system and the substrate; and a shutter configured to isolate the space from the substrate or a space to be occupied by a substrate.

A system and method for use in a lithographic environment include an illumination system, an array of individually controllable elements, a projection system, and a substrate. The projection system comprises an array of lenses. The apparatus also includes a sensor system and a positioning system controllable to adjust a position and/or an orientation of at least one of the array of elements; a component of the projection system; and the illumination system. The apparatus also includes a control system which controls the array of elements to pattern the beam, and which also receives the intensity signal and controls the positioning system according to the detected intensity distribution to adjust the projected radiation pattern.

A projection system comprises an array of lenses MLA, each lens transmitting a unique part of a patterned beam. Measuring devices measure a distance between the array of lenses MLA and a substrate W. A controller controls an actuator to adjust a position (e.g., height and/or tilt) of the microlens array MLA.

The invention relates to an image for detection of an aerial pattern comprising spatial differences in radiation intensity in a cross section of a beam of radiation in a lithographic apparatus for exposing a substrate. The image sensor comprises a lens (5) arranged to form a detection image of the aerial pattern and an image detector (6) arranged to measure radiation intensities in a plurality, of positions in the detection image.

The invention relates to an image sensor for detection of an aerial image formed by a beam of radiation in a lithographic projection apparatus for exposing a pattern onto a substrate held in a substrate plane by a substrate holder. The image sensor has an image detector and a lens. The lens is arranged to project at least part of the aerial image onto the image detector. The image sensor is positioned such within the substrate holder that the lens is positioned proximate the substrate plane.

摘要:
A flowcell including a plurality of separate chambers is provided on the substrate table so that a fluid can be brought into contact with exposed areas of the substrate to interact therewith. A series of exposures and chemical processes can thereby be carried out without removing the substrate from the substrate table.

In one embodiment, front to back side alignment optics are used to project a mark on the back side of a substrate. The front to back side alignment optics are arranged such that the image projected into the image window of the front to back side alignment optics is a translational replica of the mark on the back side of the substrate. One potential advantage of such an arrangement is that any slight inaccuracies in the location of the optical axis do not result in inaccuracies in the image of the substrate mark. The translational replica image can be used for alignment of the substrate.
