Patents by Inventor Michel van Putten

Michel van Putten has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10014165
    Abstract: A radiation sensor device is disclosed for use with a radiation source, capable of emitting radiation with photon energies larger than the work function of the target comprising a target plate to be impacted by the radiation to generate photo-electrons, the target plate being electrically isolated from a shielding electrode. The shielding electrode is arranged to collect energy-filtered photo-electrons from the target plate, using an electrostatic barrier for the filtering. The target plate is constructed of a carbon material. A current measurement device is operative to keep the target plate at a preset voltage difference with respect to the shielding electrode and measure a photo-electron deficit current as a result of radiation impact on the target plate.

  • Publication number: 20090174870
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus to clean a substrate or component of an immersion lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The cleaning apparatus may comprise a plasma radical source, a conduit and a radical confinement system. The plasma radical source may provide a flow of radicals. The conduit may supply radicals from the plasma radical source to the surface to be cleaned. The radical confinement system may direct the radicals to clean a localized portion of the surface. The cleaning apparatus may comprise a rotator and may be configured to clean a substrate edge. An immersion lithographic apparatus comprising the cleaning apparatus to clean a surface is also disclosed. The immersion lithographic apparatus may comprise a substrate table to support a substrate and a fluid confinement structure to at least partly confine immersion fluid between a projection system and a substrate table and/or substrate.
