    摘要: A calibration apparatus is provided for calibrating a radiation sensor in a lithographic apparatus. The calibration apparatus includes a window formed of substantially radiation-transparent material for allowing radiation to pass therethrough to reach the radiation sensor. A first reference sensor is located behind the window, having an active surface abutting the window, for measuring the intensity of radiation which passes through the window. A second reference sensor is located a short distance behind the window, having an active surface facing the window, for measuring the intensity of radiation which passes through the window, a first contamination layer formed on the window, and a second contamination layer formed on the active surface of the second reference sensor. The radiation sensor can be calibrated by combining the measurements from the first and second radiation sensors.

    摘要: An actuator system is provided that is configured to move a component relative to a base of the actuator system. The actuator system may include first and second actuating elements, each including two sections of material that are joined to each other and have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The two actuating elements may be configured such that if the temperature of one is increased it applies a force on the component in a direction that is opposite to the force applied by the other actuating element if its temperature is increased. The actuator system may further include at least one power supply configured to provide independently controllable heating to the first and second actuating elements.

    摘要: An illumination system includes a field-facet mirror-device and a pupil mirror configured to condition a beam of radiation incident on the field-facet mirror-device. The field-facet mirror-device includes reflective field facets movable between first and second orientations relative to the incident beam. The field facets in their first orientations are effective to reflect the incident radiation towards respective reflective pupil facets so as to form part of a conditioned beam reflected from the pupil-facet mirror-device. The field facets in their second orientations are effective to reflect the incident radiation onto respective areas of the pupil-facet mirror-device designated as beam dump areas. The areas are arranged to prevent radiation incident on the areas from forming part of the conditioned beam and are arranged between the limits of an annular area on the pupil-facet mirror-device effective to define the inner and outer regions of the conditioned beam reflected from the pupil-facet mirror-device.

    摘要: A method of generating a photolithography patterning device for transferring a pattern formed in the patterning device onto a substrate utilizing a lithographic projection apparatus includes defining features within the pattern formed in the device, wherein the features have dimensions and orientations chosen to create a desired image on the substrate during pattern transfer; and adjusting the dimensions of the features to compensate the desired image for displacement and dimension errors introduced by the effective shadow angle of the radiation on the features during pattern transfer or correlated to the position of the features within the exposure slit during pattern transfer. A measurement device for determining the position of a target image on or proximate a substrate in a lithographic projection apparatus, wherein the target image is formed by features on a patterning device, includes a detector configured to measure the position of the target image on or proximate the substrate, wherein the detector compensates the measured position of the target image for displacement and dimension errors introduced by the effective shadow angle of the radiation on the features of the patterning device during pattern transfer or correlated to the position of the features within the exposure slit during pattern transfer. A lithographic apparatus includes a measurement device.
