    摘要: A device manufacturing method includes conditioning a beam of radiation using an illumination system. The conditioning includes controlling an array of individually controllable elements and associated optical components of the illumination system to convert the radiation beam into a desired illumination mode, the controlling including allocating different individually controllable elements to different parts of the illumination mode in accordance with an allocation scheme, the allocation scheme selected to provide a desired modification of one or more properties of the illumination mode, the radiation beam or both. The method also includes patterning the radiation beam having the desired illumination mode with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned beam of radiation, and projecting the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system, a support, a patterning device, a substrate table, a projection system, and a detector. The apparatus further includes a polarization changing element, such as a quarter-wave plate, that is adjustable and a polarization analyzer, such as a linear polarizer. The polarization changing element and the polarization analyzer are arranged in order in the radiation beam path at the level at which a patterning device would be held by the support. By taking intensity measurements for different rotational orientations of the polarization changing element, information on the state of polarization of the radiation at the level of the patterning device can be obtained. Because the polarization analyzer is located before the projection system, the measurements are not affected by the fact that the detector is located after the projection system, such as at the level of the substrate.

    摘要: A laser beam monitoring system configured to monitor an attribute of an incident laser beam (24), the laser beam monitoring system comprising a beam separating element (30) and a plurality of sensors (34a-34d), wherein the beam separating element is configured to form a plurality of sub-beams (24a-24d) from the incident laser beam (24), a first sub-beam being directed towards a first sensor of the plurality of sensors and a second sub-beam being directed towards a second sensor of the plurality of sensors, wherein relative intensities of the first and second sub-beams are determined by a spatial position at which the incident laser beam is incident upon the beam separating element.
