    摘要: A system and method for use in a lithographic environment include an illumination system for supplying a projection beam of radiation, an array of individually controllable elements for patterning the beam, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target plane, and a substrate table for supporting a substrate such that a target surface of the substrate is coincident with the target plane. The projection system comprises at least one component, including at least an array of lenses arranged so that each lens receives and focuses a respective portion of the patterned beam. The array of lenses projects a radiation pattern onto the target plane. The apparatus also includes a sensor system arranged to detect an intensity distribution of the projected radiation pattern and to provide a corresponding intensity signal, and a positioning system controllable to adjust a position and/or an orientation of at least one of the following: the array of elements; a component of the projection system; and the illumination system. The apparatus also includes a control system which controls the array of elements to pattern the beam, and which also to receives the intensity signal and controls the positioning system according to the detected intensity distribution to adjust the projected radiation pattern, for example to align the patterned beam with the lens array.

    摘要: Improved gray scaling imaging methods and systems include a group of elements within an array of individually controllable elements that project a part of a radiation beam onto a lens in an array of microlenses, and are individually controllable so that any number of the individually controllable elements may be switched on or off to generate a gray scale.

    摘要: A projection system comprises an array of lenses MLA, each lens transmitting a unique part of a patterned beam. Measuring devices measure a distance between the array of lenses MLA and a substrate W. A controller controls an actuator to adjust a position (e.g., height and/or tilt) of the microlens array MLA.
