    摘要: A lithographic apparatus equipped with an alignment system is presented herein. In one embodiment, the lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system that provides a beam of radiation, a patterning device that imparts the beam of radiation with a desired pattern in its cross-section and is supported by a support structure, a substrate holder that holds a substrate, a projection system that projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a conditioned chamber. The apparatus also includes an actuator that introduces either the patterning device or the substrate into the conditioned chamber and an alignment system, which is disposed outside the conditioned chamber, that positions the patterning device or the substrate in alignment with the projected patterned beam of radiation.

    摘要: A system for use in a lithographic apparatus includes an assembly of a reticle and a reticle holder. The reticle includes a marker. The system also includes a position detector arranged to detect the reticle marker to position the reticle with respect to the reticle holder, and a storage container constructed and arranged to store the assembly during the positioning of the reticle with respect to the reticle holder. The reticle holder and the detector are arranged to be kinematically aligned with respect to each other.

    摘要: An assembly for use in a lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The assembly includes a reticle, and a reticle holder. The reticle holder is adjustable between a form closed reticle blocking state and a reticle releasing state. The reticle holder is arranged to (1) prevent movement of the reticle with respect to the reticle holder in at least one direction without friction when the reticle holder is in the form closed reticle blocking state, and (2) release the reticle when the reticle holder is in the reticle releasing state.
