摘要:
A method for manufacturing a working template for use in imprint lithography is disclosed, which in an embodiment, involves contacting a first target region of an imprintable medium on a working template substrate with a master template to form a first imprint in the medium, the imprint defining a part of a working template pattern, separating the master template from the imprinted medium, contacting a second target region of the medium with the master template to form a second imprint in the medium, the second imprint defining a further part of the working template pattern, and separating the master template from the imprinted medium.
摘要:
A device for directing radiation to a layer (1) is described. The device includes a first optical element (L1) for focusing a first radiation beam (B1) originating from a first radiation source (S1) onto said layer, a second optical element (L2) for focusing a second radiation beam (B2) originating from a second radiation source (S2) onto said layer. The wavelengths of the radiation from said first and said second radiation source are different from each other. The first and second optical element are jointly movable with respect to said radiation sources, wherein the focal points of the two radiation beams at least substantially coincide with various movements of the first optical element and the second optical element with respect to the radiation sources. The second optical element (L2) has an aperture (A2) which allows optically undisturbed passage of the first radiation beam (B1). In this way a compact and light configuration of L1 and L2 is achieved as well as an improved radiation beam quality. Further an apparatus comprising such a device and a method using such an apparatus are disclosed.

An imprinting method is disclosed which involves irradiating a photo-curable imprintable medium in a flowable state on a substrate with radiation to initiate curing of the medium, after the irradiating, contacting the medium with a template to form an imprint in the medium, allowing the medium to substantially cure such that the medium is in a substantially non-flowable state while the medium is contacted by the template, and separating the template from the medium while the medium is in the substantially non-flowable state.

A photolithographic process is described. It comprises the steps of: applying a photoresist layer (2) on a substrate (1), locally exposing the photoresist layer (2) to a radiation source with a suitable wavelength, providing a suitable liquid developer composition on the substrate (1), dissolving an exposed or unexposed region of the photoresist layer (2) with the developer composition, rinsing and drying the photoresist layer (2) thereby interrupting said dissolving step. The substrate (1) has a metallic surface (1c) in contact with the photoresist layer (2) and the photoresist layer (2) has a thickness dr

A liquid supply system for an immersion lithographic projection apparatus is disclosed in which a space is defined between the projection system, a barrier member and a substrate. The barrier member is not sealed such that, during use, immersion liquid is allowed to flow out the space and between the barrier member and the substrate.

A luminaire suitable for accommodating a light source which light source is situated substantially in a first plane. The luminaire has an optical element which is situated substantially in a second plane. The optical element is provided with facets of mutually differing inclination angles at one or both sides. The facets are shaped as substantially parallel prisms. Consecutive facets form a surface which is alternately convex and concave in shape.

摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention is a method and cyclonic separator for degassing a fluid mixture comprising a carrier liquid and gaseous or vaporizable components. In this method, the fluid mixture is accelerated in a throat section of a vortex tube such that the static pressure of the fluid mixture is decreased and vaporizable components evaporate into a gaseous phase and the fluid mixture flows as a substantially homogeneously dispersed gas-liquid mixture through the throat section; the accelerated fluid mixture is induced to swirl within a tubular mid section of the vortex tube such that the fluid mixture is separated by centrifugal forces into a degassed liquid fraction and a gas enriched fraction; the degassed liquid fraction is induced to flow into an annular liquid outlet conduit; and the gas enriched fraction is induced to flow into a central gas outlet conduit.
