    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To regenerate immersion fluid whose specified quality does not meet a specified threshold, and to make the regenerated immersion fluid recirculate. SOLUTION: A lithography apparatus includes a projection system, a fluid handling structure, a metrology device, and a recycle control device. The projection system projects a pattern projecting a radiation beam onto a target part of a substrate, and the substrate is supported on a substrate table. The fluid handling structure provides the immersion fluid to a space between the projection system and the substrate and/or the substrate table. The metrology device monitors a parameters of the immersion fluid. The recycle control device adjusts the routing of the immersion fluid so as to be reused or regenerated in the fluid handling structure, based on the quality of the immersion fluid indicated by the metrology device.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aberration control system for liquid immersion lithography and a method for compensating the heat effect of the exposure energy for a liquid immersion fluid over the entire exposure region.
    SOLUTION: The aberration control system includes an actuator for adjusting an optical element in a liquid immersion lithography system, and a fluid heat compensating module connected to the actuator. The fluid heat regulation module determines an actuator command for aberration correction of the optical element in the liquid immersion lithography system, based on the one or a plurality of change or changes in the amount of the fluid of a liquid immersion liquid, an exposure dose, and a reticule pattern image. In one embodiment, an interference sensor for preliminarily correcting the aberrations, according to the variation of the operational characteristics related to the liquid immersion fluid, is included. A method of regulating the actuator, by correcting the aberration and determining the actuator adjustment, when the operating characteristics change for regulating the aberration effect, is provided.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interfering lithography projector which has a capability of printing a plurality of patterns. SOLUTION: The lithography projector comprises a lighting system, a replaceable upper optical module, and a lower optical module 208. The lighting system emits radiation beams 106A, 106B. The replaceable upper optical module includes a beam splitter 104 which receives a beam and splits the beam into a plurality of portions, an aperture plate 206, and a plurality of reflection surfaces. The lower optical module 208 receives the plurality of portions of the beam from respective reflection surfaces, and directs the portions of the beam toward the surface of a board. As a result, interference fringes or contact hole patterns are formed on the board using the portions of the beam. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
