Patent number: 10488759Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided with a liquid confinement structure which defines at least in part a space configured to contain liquid between the projection system and the substrate. In order to reduce the crossing of the edge of the substrate which is being imaged (which can lead to inclusion of bubbles in the immersion liquid), the cross-sectional area of the space in a plane parallel to the substrate is made as small as possible. The smallest theoretical size is the size of the target portion which is imaged by the projection system. In an embodiment, the shape of a final element of the projection system is also changed to have a similar size and/or shape in a cross-section parallel to the substrate to that of the target portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Bob Streefkerk, Sjoerd Nicolaas Lambertus Donders, Roelof Frederik De Graaf, Christiaan Alexander Hoogendam, Hans Jansen, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Paulus Martinus Maria Liebregts, Jeroen Johannes Sophia Maria Mertens, Jan-Gerard Cornelis Van Der Toorn, Michel Riepen

Patent number: 10444644Abstract: In a lithographic projection apparatus, a liquid supply system maintains liquid in a space between a projection system of the lithographic projection apparatus and a substrate. A sensor positioned on a substrate table, which holds the substrate, is configured to be exposed to radiation when immersed in liquid (e.g., under the same conditions as the substrate will be exposed to radiation). By having a surface of an absorption element of the sensor, that is to be in contact with liquid, formed of no more than one metal type, long life of the sensor may be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Timotheus Franciscus Sengers, Sjoerd Nicolaas Lambertus Donders, Hans Jansen, Arjen Boogaard
