    摘要: A lithographic apparatus that includes an illumination system that conditions a radiation beam, a first stationary plate having a first surface, and a reticle stage defining, along with the first stationary plate, a first chamber. The reticle stage supports a reticle in the first chamber, and the reticle stage includes a first surface spaced apart from a second surface of the first stationary plate, thereby defining a first gap configured to suppress an amount of contamination passing from a second chamber to the first chamber. The first stationary plate is between the reticle stage and both the illumination system and a projection system configured to project a pattern imparted to the radiation beam by the patterning device onto a substrate.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining an intensity profile of a radiation beam. The method comprises providing a diffraction structure, causing relative movement of the diffraction structure relative to the radiation beam from a first position wherein the radiation beam does not irradiate the diffraction structure to a second position wherein the radiation beam irradiates the diffraction structure, measuring, with a radiation detector, diffracted radiation signals produced from diffraction of the radiation beam by the diffraction structure as the diffraction structure transitions from the first position to the second position or vice versa, and determining the intensity profile of the radiation beam based on the measured diffracted radiation signals.
