    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for producing incoherent radiation having uniform illuminance. SOLUTION: The system and method are used to form incoherent beams from a coherent beam. The system includes a source of radiation and a reflective loop system. The source of radiation produces a coherent or partially coherent beam. The reflective loop system receives the partially coherent beam and reflects the partially coherent beam through a loop, or alternatively a plurality of non-overlapping loops, to form an incoherent beam.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method, for executing maskless lithography more effectively.SOLUTION: The apparatus comprise a projection system, a pattern forming device, a low-pass filter, and a data manipulation device. The projection system projects a beam of radiation onto a substrate as an array of sub-beams of the radiation. The pattern forming device modulates the sub-beams of the radiation to substantially generate a requested dose pattern on the substrate. The low-pass filter executes calculation of pattern data derived from the requested dose pattern, thereby forming a frequency-clipped target dose pattern mainly including only spatial frequency components below a selected threshold frequency. The data manipulation device generates a control signal including spot exposure intensities to be generated by the patterning device, on the basis of a direct algebraic least-squares fit of the spot exposure intensities to the frequency-clipped target dose pattern.

    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: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method that brings about an optical proximity effect correction features to lithography. SOLUTION: Grayscale optical proximity effect correction device features are added to a mask pattern by convoluting the device features with a two-dimensional correction kernel or two one-dimensional correction kernels to generate grayscale OPC features (S11). The resulting pattern may be used in a projection lithography apparatus having a programmable patterning means that is adapted to generate three or more intensity levels. An iterative process (S15) of simulating an aerial image that would be produced by the pattern (S12), comparing the simulation to the desired pattern (S14), and adjusting the OPC features may be used to generate an optimum pattern for projection.
