摘要:
An imprint lithography apparatus having a first frame to be mounted on a floor, a second frame mounted on the first frame via a kinematic coupling, an alignment sensor mounted on the second frame, to align an imprint lithography template arrangement with a target portion of a substrate, and a position sensor to measure a position of the imprint lithography template arrangement and/or a substrate stage relative to the second frame.

In an embodiment, a lithography method is disclosed that includes providing a providing a first heat load to a first area of an object, and providing a second heat load to a second area of the object, wherein the second heat load is configured to ensure a deformation of the first area of the object caused by providing both the first heat load and the second heat load is smaller than a deformation of the first area of the object caused by providing only the first heat load.
摘要:
A positioning system to position a table within a base frame of a lithographic apparatus, the positioning system including first and second actuators and a controller. The first actuator exerting an actuation force on the table. The first actuator being connected to a balance mass constructed and arranged to absorb a reaction force of the first actuator. The controller and second actuator constructed and arranged to exert a compensation force and/or torque to compensate a torque caused by the actuation force exerted by the first actuator on the balance mass.

摘要:
A device manufacturing method includes bringing pressure within a vacuum chamber of a lithographic projection apparatus to a temperature stabilizing pressure range; keeping the pressure within the vacuum chamber within the temperature stabilizing pressure range for a period of time so as to stabilize the temperature in the vacuum chamber; decreasing the pressure within the vacuum chamber to a production pressure range; generating a beam of radiation with a radiation system; patterning the beam of radiation; and projecting the patterned beam of radiation through the vacuum chamber onto a target portion of a layer of radiation-sensitive material on a substrate.
