    摘要: A lithographic apparatus equipped with an alignment system is presented herein. In one embodiment, the lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system that provides a beam of radiation, a patterning device that imparts the beam of radiation with a desired pattern in its cross-section and is supported by a support structure, a substrate holder that holds a substrate, a projection system that projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a conditioned chamber. The apparatus also includes an actuator that introduces either the patterning device or the substrate into the conditioned chamber and an alignment system, which is disposed outside the conditioned chamber, that positions the patterning device or the substrate in alignment with the projected patterned beam of radiation.

    摘要: A mask transport system is configured to transport a mask into and out of a lithographic apparatus. The mask transport system includes a first container configured to shield a top side and a bottom side of the mask. At least a portion of the container is at least partially translucent for radiation having a predetermined wavelength used to detect contamination on the top side or the bottom side of the mask when the mask is shielded by the first container. The mask transport system also includes a second container configured to enclose the first container. The second container includes a first part defining a first opening and an openable cover that covers the first opening. The cover is configured to open and release the first container within the lithographic apparatus or at an interface with the lithographic apparatus.

    摘要: A system for use in a lithographic apparatus includes an assembly of a reticle and a reticle holder. The reticle includes a marker. The system also includes a position detector arranged to detect the reticle marker to position the reticle with respect to the reticle holder, and a storage container constructed and arranged to store the assembly during the positioning of the reticle with respect to the reticle holder. The reticle holder and the detector are arranged to be kinematically aligned with respect to each other.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an illumination system for conditioning a beam of radiation, and a support for supporting a patterning device. The patterning device serves to impart the beam of radiation with a pattern in its cross-section. The apparatus also includes a substrate table for holding a substrate, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a high voltage conductor in a part of the apparatus that is evacuated or at a low pressure during normal use of the apparatus. The conductor is coated by an isolation layer having a conductivity that is high enough to prevent charge build-up on the outside thereof during use of the apparatus, and low enough to limit peak current flow during a breakdown.
