    摘要: An exposure system for manufacturing flat panel displays (FPDs) includes a reticle stage adapted to support a reticle. A substrate stage is adapted to support a substrate. A reflective optical system is adapted adapted to image the reticle onto the substrate. The reflective optical system includes a primary mirror including a first mirror and a second mirror, and a secondary mirror. The reflective optical system has sufficient degrees of freedom for both alignment and correction of third order aberrations when projecting an image of the reticle onto the substrate by reflections off the first mirror, the secondary mirror, and the second mirror.

    摘要: A system and method use a pattern generator to pattern illumination that is projected using an adjustable projection system to form one or more devices on a substrate. The adjustable projection system includes at least one active mirror, which is adjusted to compensate for errors found on a surface of the pattern generator, the substrate, and or an optical element in the lithography system. In one example, the adjustable projection system includes two concave and one convex mirrors, while in another system the adjustable projection system also includes one or two fold mirrors. At least one of the mirrors in these two examples is an active mirror, which is used for the compensating. In this arrangement, local focus and/or magnification errors can be substantially reduced or eliminated.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus and method in which an illumination system supplies a projection beam of radiation, a patterning system imparts to the beam a pattern in its cross section, and a projection system projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of a substrate supported on a substrate table. The projection system comprises an array of lenses located at a spacing from the substrate such that each lens in the array focuses a respective part of the patterned beam onto the substrate. A displacement system causes relative displacement between the lens array and the substrate. A particle detector is positioned to detect particles on the substrate which are approaching the lens array as a result of relative displacement between the lens array and the substrate. A free working distance control system is arranged to increase the spacing between the lens array and the substrate in response to detection of a particle by the detector such that the lens array is moved away from the substrate as relative displacement causes the detected particle to pass the lens array. Thus damage to the lens array as a result of for example scratching by particles carried on the substrate surface can be avoided.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus and method for projecting a patterned beam onto a substrate. An illumination system supplies a projection beam of radiation. A pattern is imparted to the projection beam, for example by an array of individually controllable elements. The substrate is supported on a substrate table and the patterned beam is projected onto a target portion of the substrate by a projection system. The projection system defines a pupil between the patterning system and the substrate table and a series of lens components are located between the pupil and the substrate table. The lens components comprise a beam expander, for expanding the beam from the pupil, and an array of lenses extending transversely relative to the beam such that each lens of the array focuses a respective portion of the projection beam onto a respective part of the target portion of the substrate. The position of at least one of the lens components, for example a field lens of the beam expander or the lens array, is adjusted to adjust the magnification of the projection system.
