    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a projection optics assembly for projecting a patterned beam onto a target portion of a substrate. The projection optics assembly includes a first element having a predetermined functionality that is positioned with respect to a second element in a spaced relationship on a support frame. The support frame has an interface surface formed on or in the support frame for receiving the first element. The interface surface determines the position of the first element with respect to the second element, and is configured in accordance with the predetermined functionality so that the first element is positionable with respect to the second element with at least three degrees of freedom.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an illumination system for providing a beam of radiation, a support structure for supporting a patterning device, a substrate support for supporting a substrate, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam of radiation onto a target portion of the substrate, and a thermal compensation deformation unit for compensating for a deformation of an element caused by a thermal load. The thermal compensation deformation unit includes at least one temperature sensor for sensing a temperature in at least one location on the element, and a processing unit for calculating the deformation of the element caused by the thermal load as a function of the temperature sensed at the location. The deformation is calculated using data from a computer-generated model of the element so that an appropriate correction for the deformation can be made or taken into account.
