    Abstract: A system and method that bends a reticle and senses a curvature of a bent reticle in real-time. The system includes movable reticle stage, reticle vacuum clamps, sensor systems, and reticle bender. The reticle bender comprises piezo actuators. The sensor systems comprises measurement targets and corresponding sensors. The sensors are attached to the movable reticle stage and the measurement targets are attached to the reticle clamps, the reticle bender, or on reticle surfaces. The system is configured to determine a width of the reticle or distance between measurement targets at opposing ends of the reticle, measure a first rotational angle at a first end of the reticle, and measure a second local rotational angle at a second end of the reticle that is opposite to the first end. Based on the width or distance and the first and second angles, a field curvature of the reticle is determined.

    Abstract: Position and curvature information of a patterning device may be determined directly from the patterning device and controlled based on the determined information. In an embodiment, a lithographic apparatus includes a position determining system operative to determine a relative position of the patterning device. The patterning device may be configured to create a patterned radiation beam from a radiation beam incident on a major surface of the patterning device. The patterning device may have a side surface having an edge in common with the major surface. The position determining system may include an interferometer operative to transmit light to the side surface and to receive the transmitted light after the transmitted light has been reflected at the side surface. The position determining system is operative to determine a quantity representative of the relative position of the patterning device from the received reflected transmitted light.

    Abstract: A patterning device support (200), for example, a patterning device (202) or substrate support, can be configured to release internal stresses of a patterning device loaded thereon. The patterning device support can include a positive pressuring generating interface (206a, 206b) or an acoustic vibration generating interface (206a, 206b), or can be configured to oscillate while at least a portion of patterning device is decoupled from the patterning device support. A method of transferring a patterning device between a patterning device handling apparatus and a patterning device support configured to move the patterning device can include positioning the patterning device onto a surface of the patterning device support, and performing a process that releases internal stress of the patterning device.
