    摘要: In a method according to one embodiment of the invention, aberrations in a lithographic apparatus are detected by printing a test pattern having at least one degree of symmetry and being sensitive to a particular aberration in the apparatus, and using a scatterometer to derive information concerning the aberration. The test structure may comprise a two-bar grating, in which case the inner and outer duty ratios can be reconstructed to derive information indicative of comatic aberration. Alternatively, a hexagonal array of dots can be used, such that scatterometry data can be used to reconstruct dot diameters indicative of 3-wave aberration.

    摘要: A device manufacturing method using lithographic apparatus, in which method a patterned beam of radiation is projected on to a target portion of a substrate. Prior to exposing the substrate to the patterned beam of radiation a beam of compensating radiation is irradiated on to a predetermined area of the substrate, the beam of compensating radiation having an intensity which varies across said predetermined area. In the described embodiment the beam of compensating radiation is applied to an annular edge region of the substrate and has an intensity which is tilted across the cross-section of the beam so as to increase or decrease in intensity towards the edge of the substrate. This is done to improve the critical dimension (CD) uniformity across the substrate.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a device having a blade selectively insertable into the beam. The device is in a first plane intermediate a second plane conjugate to a plane of the substrate and a third plane conjugate to a pupil plane of the projection system. The blade may include a partially opaque blade and a solid blade or have a predetermined transmissibility pattern. The transmissibility may vary in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in which the substrate and the patterning device are movable. In an illumination system including a field faceted mirror and a pupil faceted mirror, a reflecting blade is selectively insertable into the beam to reflect a portion of the beam to a beam dump that may be cooled to reduce a heat load. The reflecting element may have a coating that scatters the portion of radiation or changes the phase.
