IPC: G03F7/20
Abstract: A lithographic apparatus comprising a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam to form an exposure area on a substrate, a cooling apparatus located in use above the substrate adjacent to the exposure area, the cooling apparatus being configured to remove heat from the substrate during use, a plasma vessel located below the cooling apparatus with its opening facing towards the cooling apparatus, and a gas supply for supplying gas to the plasma vessel and an aperture for receipt of a radiation beam. In use, supplied gas and a received radiation beam react to form a plasma within the plasma vessel that is directed towards a surface of the cooling apparatus which faces the opening of the plasma vessel.

Abstract: A wafer including a mask on one face and at least one layer on an opposite face, wherein the mask has at least one scribeline which overlies at least a portion of the opposite face which is substantially free of the at least one layer is described. Also described is a method of preparing a pellicle, the method including: providing a wafer having a mask on one face and at least one layer on an opposite face, defining a scribeline in the mask, and selectively removing a portion of the at least one layer which at least partially overlies the scribeline as well as a method of preparing a pellicle, the method including: providing a pellicle core, and removing at least some material from at least one face of the pellicle core in a non-oxidising environment. In any aspect, the pellicle may include a metal nitride layer.
