| 20090027642 | Exposure apparatus - An exposure apparatus includes a radiation system configured to supply a projection beam of radiation, and a patterning device configured to pattern the projection beam according to a desired pattern. The apparatus includes a substrate table having an area configured to support a substrate, and a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate. At least a part of the apparatus that during use of the apparatus is exposed to radiation is coated with a coating. The coating includes a metal oxide, or a photocatalyst, or a semiconductor, or any combination thereof. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090251674 | LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - In a lithographic projection apparatus, a liquid supply system maintains liquid in a space between a projection system of the lithographic projection apparatus and a substrate. A sensor positioned on a substrate table, which holds the substrate, is configured to be exposed to radiation when immersed in liquid (e.g., under the same conditions as the substrate will be exposed to radiation). By having a surface of an absorption element of the sensor, that is to be in contact with liquid, formed of no more than one metal type, long life of the sensor may be obtained. | 10-08-2009 |
