    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an immersion lithographic apparatus in which the generation of bubbles in immersion liquid is reduced. SOLUTION: The immersion lithographic projection apparatus has a liquid confinement structure configured to at least partly confine liquid to a space between a projection system and a substrate, the confinement structure has a buffer surface, and the buffer surface, when in use, is positioned in close proximity to a plane substantially comprising the upper surface of the substrate and of a substrate table holding the substrate to define a passage having a flow resistance. A recess is provided in the buffer surface, the recess, when in use, is normally full of the immersion liquid to achieve rapid filling of a gap between the substrate and substrate table as the gap moves under the buffer surface. The recess may be annular or radial and a plurality of recesses may be provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide immersion lithography equipment in which the generation of air bubbles in an immersion liquid is reduced. SOLUTION: Immersion lithography projection equipment has a liquid-confining structure configured so as to confine liquid at least partially in a space between a projection system and a substrate. The confining structure has a buffering plane which is arranged when in use, very close to the a plane substantially including the substrate and the top surface of a substrate table that holds the substrate, and defines a path having flow resistance. In this buffering plane, recesses are formed and normally filled with liquid when in use so that a gap is rapidly filled therewith when the gap between the substrate and the substrate table moves under the buffering plane. The recess may be formed into an annular or a radial shape so that a plurality of recesses can be arranged. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, an apparatus, and a method for calibrating the reticle stage of a lithographic system.
    SOLUTION: The method comprises steps of; imaging a reticle through a lithographic system; measuring a set of height offsets based on the imaged reticle; and decomposing the set of measured height offsets in accordance with a plurality of distortional factors. The present invention further comprises steps of: determining the reticle stage deformation attributes based on the distortional factors and the reticle deformation attributes; and then calibrating the reticle stage based on the stage deformation attributes.
