    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for correcting an exposure parameter of an immersion lithographic apparatus, and to provide a device and/or a computer program product.SOLUTION: In this method, an exposure parameter is measured using measuring beams 22, 24 projected through a liquid between the projection system PL and a substrate table of the immersion lithographic apparatus, and offset is determined based on a change of a physical property influencing measurement made using the measuring beams to at least partly correct the measured exposure parameter. Also, the height of an optical element connected to liquid between the projection system and the substrate table in the immersion lithographic apparatus is measured.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent or reduce generation of residual liquid, for example, on a substrate and/or substrate table after exposure of the substrate, in an immersion lithographic apparatus. SOLUTION: In immersion lithography, after the exposure of the substrate is completed, a detector is used to detect the residual liquid that remains on the substrate and/or substrate table. When the residual liquid is detected, an alarm signal may be generated to instruct an operator to take measures of manual correction. When an automatic drying system is started or a drying process is already executed alternatively, the apparatus is restarted. An error code flag may be added to instruct a track unit on execution of an additional drying step such as spin drying before sintering after exposure or other processes which are likely to be affected by liquid.

    Abstract: A method (500) for cleaning an article such as a EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography reticle is provided. The method includes evacuating a cleaning chamber and loading the article to be cleaned into the cleaning chamber (510); preparing the environment of the chamber (520) by connecting the cleaning chamber to a vapor source while controlling pressure in the cleaning chamber to a predetermined pressure; controlling a temperature of the article relative to a temperature of the vapor source so as to form a liquid film (530) over the article and over particles present on the article; isolating the cleaning chamber from the vapor source; evaporating the liquid film (540) by exposing the cleaning chamber to one or more condensing surfaces whose temperature is lower than that of the article, the evaporating liquid transporting at least a portion of the particles away from the article, which is then unloaded from the chamber (560). The cleaning steps (520) to (540) can be repeated (550) as desired. An electrostatic trap may be provided to capture particles released by the evaporation. The cleaning technique can be used in a lithographic apparatus and in manufacturing a device having critical surfaces, such as a wafer, a semiconductor film, or surface of an apparatus employed in the manufacture of a semiconductor device.
