Publication number: 20070090853Abstract: The invention provides a method for correcting thermally-induced field deformations of a lithographically exposed substrate. First, a model is provided to predict thermally-induced field deformation information of a plurality of fields of the substrate. The pre-specified exposure information used to configure an exposure of the fields is then modified based on the thermally-induced deformation information as predicted by the model. Finally a pattern is exposed onto the fields in accordance with the pre-specified exposure information as modified. The predicting of thermally-induced field deformation information by the model includes predicting of deformation effects of selected points on the substrate. It is based on a time-decaying characteristic as energy is transported across substrate; and a distance between the selected points and an edge of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2006Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: ASML Netherlands B.

Patent number: 7177040Abstract: In network printing system including workstations and printers interconnected by a network, remotely generated interactive print jobs are stored at the printer and activated from a workstation either through a network-specific interface or a web-browser-based interface. Interactive print jobs are print jobs that are automatically stored in the printer memory and not printed unless they are explicitly activated by a user. Interactive print jobs waiting to be activated are upon request listed on the display screen of the workstation and may be selected by the user. Upon a print command issued at the workstation in respect of one or more selected print jobs, the job data are fetched from the local printer storage and processed by the printer.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2001Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Océ-Technologies B.V.Inventors: Monica Maria Wilhelmina Mathea Roosen, Johannes Franciscus Maria Elisabeth Geelen, Frederik De Jong, Theodoor Johannes Marie Wilbers, Veronika Toumanova, Janine Dorette van Herwaarden, Eric Petrus Josephus Raijmakers, Petrus Antonius Maria Cornelissen, René Francois Albert Collard

Patent number: 7158244Abstract: A method of managing a queue of print jobs in a printer is disclosed, wherein the jobs are created by specifying print data and print parameters for each job, and the jobs are put into the print queue, and wherein, before print processing of a job in the queue begins, a start condition for the job is checked and printing is started only when the start condition is fulfilled. The method includes steps of checking a status of mode indicator specifying whether the printer is in a “keep going” mode or a “keep sequence” mode; and, when a job in the queue is reached for which the start condition is not fulfilled, postponing print processing of this job and proceeding with a next job, if any, for which the start condition is fulfilled, if the printer is in the “keep going” mode, or stopping print processing, if the printer is in the “keep sequence” mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2002Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Océ-Technologies B.V.Inventors: Monique Gerardine Miranda Sommer, Johannes Hubertus Theodorus Peters, Frederik de Jong, Louis Anna Jozef Dohmen, Johannes Josephus Maria Goossens, Pieter Berend Johannes Deen, Veronika Toumanova

Publication number: 20060087637Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a substrate support that is constructed to support a substrate, and a projection system that is configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The substrate support is arranged to move the substrate along a predetermined trajectory of subsequently targeted target portions of the substrate. The substrate support includes a duct configuration for providing thermal stabilization to the substrate. The duct configuration is arranged to duct thermally stabilizing media in the support, and to substantially duct the media away from a part of the substrate support that supports the target portion via parts of the substrate support that support previously targeted portions of the substrate, so as to keep subsequently targeted target portions thermally stable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2004Publication date: April 27, 2006Applicant: ASML NETHERLANDS B.V.Inventors: Joost Ottens, Jeroen Johannes Mertens, Frederik De Jong, Koen Goorman, Boris Menchtchikov, Edwin Van Gompel

Patent number: 6894793Abstract: In an information processing system including workstations and printers interconnected by a network, current collective status information of a set of print jobs of a user is displayed permanently in icon form on the screen of the workstation of the user. The status is presented as one of three possible states: (1) active: there is still at least one print job of the set not ready; (2) passive: all the jobs of the set are ready, or the set is empty; or (3) error: a job of the set has caused an error in the printer. The set can include all the print jobs of a user, or a selection thereof. In response to a double mouse click on an icon, extensive information concerning the print jobs of the set to which the icon relates is displayed. As an alternative to permanent presentation in icon form, presentation can also be in the form of messages on the screen at the user's workstation when the status of the set changes.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1999Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Oce-Technologies B.V.Inventors: Monica M.
