    摘要: The present invention relates to a lithographic projection apparatus and a method for transferring an object via a load lock between a lithography patterning chamber and a second environment. The load lock forms an inner space that is enclosed by a wall that forms the inner space. The load lock includes a first door that faces the lithography patterning chamber and a second door that faces the second environment. The load lock is at least during part of the transfer vented with a gas that is essentially free from at least one of particles, oxygen, hydrocarbon, and H2O.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus having an improved transfer unit, is presented. The lithographic apparatus includes a processing unit that performs a lithographic process involving exchangeable objects in which the processing unit includes an illumination system that provides a beam of radiation, a support structure configured to support a patterning device that imparts a desired pattern to the beam of radiation, a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate, and a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The lithographic apparatus also includes a transfer unit comprising a single robot. The single robot is configured to transfer a first exchangeable object from a loading station to the processing unit and to transfer a second exchangeable object from the processing unit to a discharge station.
