  • Patent number: 9606445
    Abstract: There is disclosed a lithographic apparatus provided with a spectral purity filter which may be provided in one or more of the following locations: (a) in the illumination system, (b) adjacent the patterning device, either a static location in the radiation beam or fixed for movement with the patterning device, (c) in the projection system, and (d) adjacent the substrate table. The spectral purity filter is preferably a membrane formed of polysilicon, a multilayer material, a carbon nanotube material or graphene. The membrane may be provided with a protective capping layer, and/or a thin metal transparent layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2017
    Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.

  • Patent number: 8970818
    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. A surface of a component of the lithographic apparatus that is in a vacuum environment in use is provided with a repeating structure configured to increase the effective thermal accommodation coefficient of the surface.
