    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which can reduce the absorption of a radiation beam in a lithographic projection device.
    SOLUTION: In the lithographic device using exposure radiation having a relatively short wavelength of 157 nm or 126 nm, an N
    2 laminar flow which crosses the inside of the operating section of the device and part of a beam passage adjoining the operating section is supplied. Since the speed of the laminar flow is higher than the maximum speed of the operating section and the diffusing speed of air, contamination of the N
    2 of the flow caused when the laminar flow is mixed with the air is minimized. Laminar flow may be maintained, by providing a partition wall which divides the beam passage into separated spaces and an aerodynamic member, and by covering the rough or non-flat surface of an element above or adjoining the laminar flow.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent local variation and deformation of refractive indexes of optical elements owing to uneven heating of them by a radiation beam resulting in prevention of deformation of air images projected on a resist layer. SOLUTION: A lithographic equipment including an optical arrangement with an array of optical elements arranged in a plane perpendicular to the radiation beam is disclosed. Each optical element comprises an electrical heating device to change an optical path length of the radiation beam. By selectively operating the heating devices, a position dependent change in optical path length can be achieved in order to correct irradiation-induced optical path length errors.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illumination system preparing an improved substrate illumination. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a lithographic apparatus, a device manufacturing method, and a device thus manufactured. The lithographic apparatus is a scanning type in which a target portion of a substrate is scanned through a patterned radiation beam. Inhomogeneities in the radiation beam may become visible in the form of stripes on the substrate. During scanning, the overall homogeneity of the illumination may be improved by smearing out the inhomogeneities like this in such a way that additional movement is applied to a substrate table of the apparatus and a patterning device selected optionally in a direction at an angle with the scanning movement.
