摘要:
A lithographic apparatus comprises a substrate table to hold a substrate and a projection system to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The lithographic apparatus further comprises a fluid supply system to supply a fluid between the substrate and a final lens element of the projection system as well as a position controller to control a position of the fluid supply system. The position controller is configured to, being provided with a position quantity of the substrate, determine a desired position of the liquid supply system by adding a position offset to the position quantity of the substrate, and position the liquid supply system according to the desired position. The position quantity may comprise a position and/or rotational position of the substrate table and/or a height function of a substrate height.

摘要:
In a lithographic apparatus, a localized area of the substrate surface under a projection system is immersed in liquid. The height of a liquid supply system above the surface of the substrate can be varied using actuators. A control system uses feedforward or feedback control with input of the surface height of the substrate to maintain the liquid supply system at a predetermined height above the surface of the substrate.
摘要:
A lithographic apparatus includes a substrate table to hold a substrate; a substrate table position measurement system to measure a position quantity of the substrate table, a projection system to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate, a fluid supply system to supply an immersion fluid in a space between a downstream lens of the projection system and the substrate, and a fluid supply system position measurement system to measure a position quantity of the fluid supply system. To prevent a collision between the fluid supply system and the substrate table, a damage control system of the lithographic apparatus may include a calculator to calculate a dimensional quantity of a gap between the fluid supply system and the substrate table from the positioned quantity of the substrate table and the position quantity of the fluid supply system. The damage control system may generate a warning signal when the dimensional quantity goes beyond a predetermined safety level.
摘要:
A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.
