Patent number: 10088755Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. The projection system has a final element. The apparatus also includes a barrier member surrounding a space between the projection system and, in use, the substrate, to define in part with the final element a reservoir for liquid. The barrier member is spaced from the final element to define a gap therebetween. The apparatus further includes a deformable seal between a radially outer surface of the final element and a radially outer surface of the barrier member. The deformable seal is configured to substantially prevent a gas from flowing past the seal towards or away from the reservoir of liquid.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Marcus Adrianus Van De Kerkhof, Siebe Landheer, Marcel Beckers, Jeroen Peter Johannes Bruijstens, Ivo Adam Johannes Thomas, Franciscus Johannes Joseph Janssen

Patent number: 9983489Abstract: A method for compensating for an exposure error in an exposure process of a lithographic apparatus that comprises a substrate table, the method comprising: obtaining a dose measurement indicative of a dose of IR radiation that reaches substrate level, wherein the dose measurement can be used to calculate an amount of IR radiation absorbed by an object in the lithographic apparatus during an exposure process; and using the dose measurement to control the exposure process so as to compensate for an exposure error associated with the IR radiation absorbed by the object during the exposure process.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Christianus Wilhelmus Johannes Berendsen, Marcel Beckers, Henricus Jozef Castelijns, Hubertus Antonius Geraets, Adrianus Hendrik Koevoets, Leon Martin Levasier, Peter Schaap, Bob Streefkerk, Siegfried Alexander Tromp
