摘要:
A lithographic apparatus is presented that provides versatile processing time and accuracy selection. The apparatus includes a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate; a radiation system configured to condition a beam of radiation; a support structure configured to support a patterning device that imparts a desired pattern onto the beam of radiation; a projection system that projects the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate; and a selection system that selects one out of at least two different operational modes of the lithographic apparatus. The first operational mode is associated with performing a process within a first time period at a first level of accuracy and a second operational mode is associated with performing the process within a second time period at a second level of accuracy. The first time period is shorter than the second time period and the first level of accuracy is lower than the second level of accuracy.
摘要:
In a lithographic projection apparatus and a device manufacturing method, a movable part is controlled to produce a motion, an absolute value of at least one of a fourth and a higher derivative to time of the position of the motion being limited to less than a maximal value. Specifying at least one of a fourth and a higher derivative to time of the position may help to improve settling behavior to obtain more accurate positioning. Further, a movable part may be controlled to produce an acceleration of the movable part having a high at least one of a third and a higher derivative to time of the position of the motion at a start portion of the acceleration and a corresponding low at least one of a third and a higher derivative to time of the position of the motion at an end portion of the acceleration, the absolute value of the high at least one of the third and the higher derivative to time of the position of the motion being larger than the absolute value of the corresponding low at least one of the third and the higher derivative to time of the position of the motion.
