    Abstract: A reticle is loaded into a lithographic apparatus. The apparatus performs measurements on the reticle, so as to calculate alignment parameters for transferring the pattern accurately to substrates. Tests are performed to detect possible contamination of the reticle or its support. Either operation proceeds with a warning, or the patterning of substrates is stopped. The test uses may use parameters of the alignment model itself, or different parameters. The integrity parameters may be compared against reference values reflecting historic measurements, so that sudden changes in a parameter are indicative of contamination. Integrity parameters may be calculated from residuals of the alignment model. In an example, height residuals are used to calculate parameters of residual wedge (Rx′) and residual roll (Ryy′). From these, integrity parameters expressed as height deviations are calculated and compared against thresholds.

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus including a support to support a patterning device, a substrate table to hold a substrate, and a projection system to project a radiation beam patterned by the patterning device onto a target portion of the substrate. A transparent layer is provided to protect the pattering device. The apparatus further includes a transparent layer deformation-determining device to determine a deformation profile of the transparent layer, the deformation profile of the transparent layer expressing a deformation of the transparent layer during a scanning movement of the lithographic apparatus, and a compensator device which is configured to control the projection system, the substrate table and/or the support in response to the deformation profile of the transparent layer to compensate for the deformation of the transparent layer during the scanning movement of the apparatus.

    Abstract: A patterning device support (200), for example, a patterning device (202) or substrate support, can be configured to release internal stresses of a patterning device loaded thereon. The patterning device support can include a positive pressuring generating interface (206a, 206b) or an acoustic vibration generating interface (206a, 206b), or can be configured to oscillate while at least a portion of patterning device is decoupled from the patterning device support. A method of transferring a patterning device between a patterning device handling apparatus and a patterning device support configured to move the patterning device can include positioning the patterning device onto a surface of the patterning device support, and performing a process that releases internal stress of the patterning device.
