    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: In a lithographic apparatus, a beam of radiation passes along a beam path to a substrate, for applying patterned illumination to the substrate. An exchangeable aperture screen is inserted in the beam path to partially block out the beam from a remainder of the path onto the substrate. A test surface is provided on the aperture screen, so that the test surface receives a part of the beam that is not passed along the remainder of the beam path. The test surface is made of a material that is sensitive, under influence of radiation from the beam, to chemical alterations that also affect the optical element under influence of radiation from the beam. The test surface is later analyzed for chemical alterations after exposure to the beam.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system for providing a beam of radiation, a support structure for supporting a patterning device, the patterning device serving to impart the beam with a pattern in its cross-section. The apparatus further includes a substrate table for holding a substrate, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a collector which is arranged for transmitting radiation, received from a first radiation source, to the illumination system. The apparatus includes at least a heater for heating the collector when the collector receives substantially no radiation from the first radiation source. Further aspects of the invention relate to a device manufacturing method as well as a device manufactured thereby.
