摘要： A system is used to perform fast and slow applications, for example fast application can be pulse trimming. The system includes a radiation source, an electro-optical modulator, and a beam splitter. The radiation source is configured to generate a polarized beam of radiation. The electro-optical modulator, formed of crystalline quartz, is configured to modulate the beam of radiation. The beam splitter is configured to direct a first portion of the beam to a beam dump and to form an output beam from a second portion of the beam.

摘要： Apparatus and methods are used to calibrate an array of individually controllable elements within a lithographic apparatus. A calibration unit can switch between a first state in which the modulated beam of radiation passes into a projection system for projecting the modulated beam of radiation onto a substrate and a second state in which a portion of the modulated beam of radiation is inspected by the calibration unit. The calibration unit generates calibration data, or alternatively, updates calibration data, based on the inspection of the modulated beam of radiation. An array controller uses the calibration data to provide control signals to elements of an array of individually controllable elements, which are subsequently configured in response to the control signals.

摘要： A method to clean optical elements of an apparatus, the apparatus being configured to project a beam of radiation onto a target portion of a substrate, the apparatus comprising a plurality of optical elements arranged in sequence in the path of the radiation beam, wherein the cleaning method comprises: cleaning one or more second optical elements of the sequence, which receive one or more relatively low second radiation doses during operation of the apparatus, utilizing cumulatively shorter cleaning periods than one or more first optical elements of the sequence that receive one or more first radiation doses during operation of the apparatus, a second radiation dose being lower than each relatively high first radiation dose.

摘要： An optical arrangement, e.g. a projection exposure apparatus (1) for EUV lithography, includes: a housing (2) enclosing an interior space (15); at least one, preferably reflective optical element (4-10, 12, 14.1-14.6) arranged in the housing (2); at least one vacuum generating unit (3) for the interior space (15) of the housing (2); and at least one vacuum housing (18, 18.1-18.10) arranged in the interior space (15) and enclosing at least the optical surface (17, 17.1, 17.2) of the optical element (4-10, 12, 14.1-14.5). A contamination reduction unit is associated with the vacuum housing (18.1-18.10) and reduces the partial pressure of contaminating substances, in particular of water and/or hydrocarbons, at least in close proximity to the optical surface (17, 17.1, 17.2) in relation to the partial pressure of the contaminating substances in the interior space (15).
