    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved controlling system for a lithographic apparatus and the lithographic apparatus having the same. SOLUTION: A controlling system for controlling a position parameter of a stage in a lithographic apparatus has a stage controller for controlling at least a position parameter of a stage at least in a first direction. The controlling system has a disturbance torque estimator for estimating a disturbance torque on a stage around an axis line extended in a second direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The controlling system has a correcting signal calculator to which the estimated disturbance torque and a signal which represents a position of a stage extended in a third direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first and second directions are provided. The correcting signal calculator determines a feed forward correcting signal for correcting a position error of the stage extended in the first direction caused by the disturbance torque. The feed forward correcting signal is provided to the stage. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an immersion lithography apparatus having an improved positioning method of a liquid supply system. SOLUTION: The lithography apparatus includes a substrate table for holding a substrate, and a projection system for projecting a radiation beam patterned in a target portion of the substrate. The lithography apparatus has a fluid supply system for supplying fluid between the substrate and a final optical element of the projection system, and a positional control system for controlling a position of the fluid supply system. The positional control system is formed such that it is provided with a positional amount of the substrate, adds offset of a position to the positional amount of the substrate and thus determines a desirable position of the fluid supply system, and performs positioning of the fluid supply system based on the desirable position. The positional amount may include all or one of a position of the substrate, a rotational position of the substrate table, and a height function of height of the substrate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic device which is so improved that damage due to especially collision and leakage, etc. in an immersion device is suppressed, related to an immersion lithographic projector. SOLUTION: This lithographic projector includes a calculator which calculates numerical quantities relating to a void dimension between a fluid supply system and a substrate table for holding a substrate based on numerical quantities relating to a position of the substrate table, and that relating to a position of the fluid supply system to prevent the collision between the fluid supply system and the substrate table for holding the substrate. The projector further comprises a damage suppressing system which is so constituted as to generate a warning signal when the numerical quantities relating to the dimension goes beyond a predetermined safety level.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve quality of pixels in a lithographic device and a method for manufacturing the device.
    SOLUTION: The lithographic device has a first movable element (like an immersion liquid supply system), and operates while contacting the surface of a second movable element (like a substrate table). The lithographic device is also provided with a second element controller (like a substrate table controller) C2 that controls the amount of positions in the second movable element. Disturbance force by capillary force, for example, caused by relative movements of the first and the second movable elements, disturbs the positions y1, y2 of the first and the second movable elements. The lithographic device includes a feed forward control path that feeds a disturbance feed forward signal to the second element controller C2 to correct at least a part of positions of the second movable element caused by such a disturbance force, and the feed forward control path includes a disturbance force estimator Fd that estimates the disturbance force from the amount y1 of the position in the first movable element.
