Abstract:
A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system to condition a radiation beam; a patterning device support to support a patterning device, the patterning device capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam; a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system to project the patterned radiation beam in a scanning exposure along a scanning direction onto a target portion of the substrate. The illumination system is configured to form in a plane of the patterning device a slit shaped image. The slit shaped image has a curved shape with a slit curvature in the scanning direction, with a length in the scanning direction and a width perpendicular to the scanning direction. The slit shaped image is configured to create a curved pattern image portion of the patterned radiation beam in an image plane of the projection system.
