20100091260 | LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A method and apparatus make use of data representing changes in wavelength of a radiation source to provide control of focal plane position or to provide correction of sensor data. In the first aspect, the wavelength variation data is provided to control systems that control focus by moving apparatus components including, for example, the mask table, the substrate table or optical elements of the projection optical system. In the second aspect, variation data is used in correcting, e.g., focal plane position data measured by an inboard sensor, such as a transmitted image sensor. The two aspects may be combined in a single apparatus or may be used separately. | 04-15-2010 |
20110261329 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A SUPPRESSION FACTOR OF A SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND A LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - The invention relates to a method for determining a suppression factor of a suppression system. The suppression system is arranged to suppress migration of a contaminant gas out of a first system. The suppression factor is an indication of the performance of the suppression system. The method includes introducing a tracer gas in the sub-system, providing a detection system configured to detect the amount of tracer gas that has migrated out of the first system, determining a first suppression factor for the suppression system for the tracer gas. The method further includes determining a second suppression factor for the suppression system for the contaminant gas based on the first suppression factor. | 10-27-2011 |
