摘要: An immersion lithography apparatus has a controller configured to control a substrate table to move along an exposure route including in order: an entry motion in which the substrate moves from an off-substrate position at which the immersion space does not overlap the substrate to an on-substrate position at which the immersion space at least partially overlaps the substrate, a transfer motion in which the substrate table changes speed and/or direction and moves for at least a transfer time after the substrate moves to the on-substrate position, and an expose motion in which the substrate is scanned and the patterned beam is projected onto the substrate, wherein throughout the transfer motion at least a part of the immersion space overlaps the substrate and wherein the patterned beam is not projected onto the substrate during the entry motion and the transfer motion.

摘要: A method of dislodging contamination from a part of an apparatus used in a patterning process, the method including: providing a cleaning substrate into contact with the part of the apparatus while the part is attached to the apparatus, the cleaning substrate comprising a material configured to chemically react with the contamination; and dislodging contamination on the part of the apparatus by chemical reaction between the material and the contamination.

摘要: A substrate table for an immersion system having a projection system arranged to project an image onto a substrate and a liquid confinement system configured to confine an immersion liquid to a space between the projection system and the substrate, the substrate table including: a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate; and a current control device arranged to reduce an electric current flowing between the substrate and the substrate holder while the immersion liquid is confined to the space.

摘要: A system for positioning, a stage system, a lithographic apparatus, a method for positioning and a method for manufacturing a device in which use is made of a stage system. The stage system has a plurality of air bearing devices. Each air bearing device has: a gas bearing body which has a free surface, a primary channel which extends through the bearing body and has an inlet opening in the free surface, and a secondary channel system which extends through the bearing body and which has a plurality of discharge openings in the free surface. The flow resistance in the secondary channel system can be higher than the flow resistance in the primary channel.

摘要: A method for unloading a substrate from a support table configured to support the substrate, the method including: supplying gas to a gap between a base surface of the support table and the substrate via a plurality of gas flow openings in the support table, wherein during an initial phase of unloading the gas is supplied through at least one gas flow opening in an outer region of the support table and not through any gas flow opening in a central region of the support table radially inward of the outer region, and during a subsequent phase of unloading the gas is supplied through at least one gas flow opening in the outer region and at least one gas flow opening in the central region.
