摘要： A device manufacturing method includes projecting a patterned beam of radiation through an optics compartment and a channel that provides an open connection between the optics compartment and a substrate compartment onto a substrate, maintaining an ionized flush gas at a higher pressure in the channel than in the substrate compartment and in the optics compartment during the projecting, intercepting particles that emanate from the substrate with the ionized flush gas, pumping the flush gas carrying the intercepted particles from the substrate compartment using a pump coupled to a gas outlet coupled to at least one of the compartments, and establishing an electrical potential difference between a wall of the channel and the outlet and/or a rotor of the pump so that the outlet and/or the rotor of the pump attracts positively charged ions that stem from the flush gas in the channel.

摘要： An attenuation adjustment device is disclosed that includes a plurality of members configured to cast penumbras in a radiation beam illuminating a patterning device in a lithography apparatus. Furthermore, an attenuation control device is provided to adjust the members in such a manner as to control the attenuation of the patterned radiation beam projected onto a target portion of a substrate across the cross-section of the patterned radiation beam. The attenuation control device includes a detector configured to provide an output indicative of the position of each member in dependence on detection of a beam of detecting radiation reaching the detector after attenuation by the member.

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.
