Abstract: A technique involving projecting a pulsed radiation beam using an illumination system onto a region of a plane in a reference frame; using a scanning mechanism to move a calibration sensor relative to the reference frame such that the calibration sensor moves through the beam of radiation in the plane along a scan trajectory; determining a quantity indicative of a velocity of the illumination system relative to the reference frame; and determining information related to a spatial intensity distribution of the radiation beam in the plane in dependence on: (a) an output of the calibration sensor; (b) the scan trajectory of the calibration sensor; and (c) the quantity indicative of a velocity of the illumination system relative to the reference frame.

Abstract: A photocathode comprises a substrate in which a cavity is formed and a film of material disposed on the substrate. The film of material comprises an electron emitting surface configured to emit electrons when illuminated by a beam of radiation. The electron emitting surface is on an opposite side of the film of material from the cavity.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus including: a radiation system; a frame; a substrate table for holding a substrate; and a scanning mechanism. The radiation system is operable to produce a radiation beam. The substrate table is moveably mounted to the frame and arranged such that a target portion of the substrate is arranged to receive the radiation beam. The scanning mechanism is operable to move the substrate table relative to the frame so that different portions of the substrate may receive the radiation beam. A mechanism is operable to determine a quantity indicative of a velocity of the radiation system relative to the frame. An adjustment mechanism is operable to control a power or irradiance of the radiation beam so as to reduce a variation in a dose of radiation received by the substrate as a result of relative motion of the radiation system and the frame.

Abstract: A method of selecting a periodic modulation to be applied to a variable of a radiation source, wherein the source delivers radiation for projection onto a substrate and wherein there is relative motion between the substrate and the radiation at a scan speed, the method including: for a set of system parameters and for a position on the substrate, calculating a quantity, the quantity being a measure of the contribution to an energy dose delivered to the position that arises from the modulation being applied to the variable of the source, wherein the contribution to the energy dose is calculated as a convolution of: a profile of radiation, and a contribution to an irradiance of radiation delivered by the source; and selecting a modulation frequency at which the quantity for the set of system parameters and the position on the substrate satisfies a certain criteria.

Abstract: A control system for controlling a laser, comprising a sensor for sensing a physical value indicative of a characteristic of a laser beam emitted by the laser, a switch, a first controller and a second controller. Each controller is configured, to receive a further sensor value from the sensor, adjust a received setpoint value based on the received further sensor value to give an output value and cause the laser to operate in accordance with the output value. The switch is configured to switch between the controllers such that output values are provided from each controller in a cyclic fashion.
