摘要: A lithographic apparatus comprising an object table which carries an object. The lithographic apparatus may further comprise at least one sensor as part of a measurement system to measure a characteristic of the object table, the environment surrounding the lithographic apparatus or another component of the lithographic apparatus. The measured characteristic may be used to estimate the deformation of the object due to varying loads during operation of the lithographic apparatus, for example varying loads induced by a two-phase flow in a channel formed within the object table. Additionally, or alternatively, the lithographic apparatus comprises a predictor to estimate the deformation of the object based on a model. The positioning of the object table carrying the object can be controlled based on the estimated deformation. The positioning of a projection beam, used to pattern a substrate, can be controlled relative to the object, to alter the position of the pattern and/or the projection beam on the substrate, based on the estimated deformation.

摘要: A method of processing a substrate includes: providing a substrate with a layer of photosensitive material on a surface of the substrate; and removing at least part of the photosensitive material from around an outer edge of the layer of photosensitive material so as to generate an edge, having a radial width, around the layer of photosensitive material remaining on the surface of the substrate, wherein the photosensitive material varies in thickness forming a thickness profile across the radial width and the removing is controlled so as to generate variation in the thickness profile along the length of the edge, and/or wherein the removing is controlled so as to generate a rough edge around the layer of photosensitive material remaining on the surface of the substrate.

摘要: An immersion lithographic apparatus is configured to subject a photosensitive layer on a substrate to a patterned beam of radiation via a liquid. The immersion lithographic apparatus includes a moveable object having a surface, a fluid handling system to control a presence of the liquid in a volume restricted by the surface, the fluid handling system, and a free surface of the liquid, the free surface extending between the surface and the fluid handling system; and a heating system configured to locally heat a portion of the liquid at a receding side of a periphery edge of the volume in contact with the surface, where the object is receding from the volume along a direction of movement of the object relative to the fluid handling system.

摘要: A method for compensating for an exposure error in an exposure process of a lithographic apparatus that comprises a substrate table, the method comprising: obtaining a dose measurement indicative of a dose of IR radiation that reaches substrate level, wherein the dose measurement can be used to calculate an amount of IR radiation absorbed by an object in the lithographic apparatus during an exposure process; and using the dose measurement to control the exposure process so as to compensate for an exposure error associated with the IR radiation absorbed by the object during the exposure process.
