    摘要: A method for transferring one or more substrates or masks in a storage box to an apparatus for handling, processing or using the substrates or masks or vice versa, the storage box including a cover having an openable cover part. The method includes providing the storage box onto an openable wall part of a wall of an enclosed protective environment of the apparatus such that the openable cover part overlaps the openable wall part, the protective environment being adapted to be filled with an inert gas or to be evacuated; opening the openable cover part and the openable wall part, whereby the cover of the storage box forms part of the wall of the protective environment and an inside of the storage box becomes part of the protective environment; and transferring at least one of the substrates or masks from an inside space of the storage box to an inside space of the protective environment, or vice versa.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus arranged to transfer a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optics compartment that contains a patterned surface of the patterning device and an optical element, and a substrate compartment connected to the optics compartment by a connection that is arranged to pass a patterned beam of radiation from the optical element to the substrate. The apparatus also includes a first flush gas inlet arranged to supply a first flush gas into the connection, a second flush gas inlet adjacent to the patterned surface and arranged to supply a second flush gas into the optics compartment and to create a region adjacent the patterned surface in which the second flush gas flows in a direction with a component normal to and away from the patterned surface, and a gas pump arranged to pump the flush gases from the optics compartment.
