    摘要: A lithographic projection apparatus includes an illumination system, an interchangeable upper optics module, and a lower optics module. The illumination system provides a beam of radiation. The interchangeable upper optics module receives the beam and includes, sequentially, a beam splitter that splits the beam into portions, an aperture plate, and a plurality of reflecting surfaces. The lower optics module receives portions of the beam from respective ones the reflecting surfaces and directs the portions of the beam onto a substrate. Interference fringes or contact hole patterns are formed on the substrate using the portions of the beam.

    摘要: A lithographic system includes a source of a laser beam; a beamsplitter dividing the laser beam into a plurality of beams; and a plurality of reflecting surfaces that forms interference fringes on a substrate using the plurality of beams. Resolution of the lithographic system is adjustable by adjusting angular orientation of the reflecting surfaces. The beamsplitter is movable along the optical path to adjust the resolution. The reflecting surfaces may be facets of a prism. Each reflecting surface corresponds to a particular beamsplitter position along the optical path, and/or to a particular resolution. The beamsplitter includes a linear grating or a checkerboard grating. The beams are N-way symmetric. A numerical aperture of the system is adjustable by moving the beamsplitter along the optical path. A liquid can be between the substrate and the prism.

    摘要: A liquid immersion lithography system including a projection optical system for directing electromagnetic radiation onto a substrate, and a showerhead for delivering liquid flow between the projection optical system and the substrate. The showerhead includes an injection nozzle and a retrieval nozzle located at different heights. The liquid flow is tilted relative to the substrate. A direction from the injection nozzle to the retrieval nozzle is tilted at approximately 1 to 2 degrees relative to the substrate.

    摘要: A lithographic system includes a laser outputting a laser beam; a beamsplitter dividing the laser beam into a plurality of beams; and a prism for forming interference fringes on a substrate using the plurality of beams. Resolution of the lithographic system is adjustable without replacing any optical components in an optical path of the lithographic system. The beamsplitter is movable along the optical path to adjust the resolution. The prism includes a plurality of sets of facets, each set of facets corresponding to a particular resolution. Each set of facets corresponds to a particular beamsplitter position along the optical path, and/or to a particular resolution. The beamsplitter includes a linear grating or a checkerboard grating. The beams are N-way symmetric. The resolution is adjustable. A numerical aperture of the system is adjustable by moving the beamsplitter along the optical path. A liquid can be between the substrate and the prism.
