    Abstract: There is described a method of determining the UV fluence received by a fluid. The method comprises the steps of: (a) irradiating the fluid at an unknown UV fluence; (b) measuring the fluorescence of a test sample of the fluid after irradiation in Step (a) to produce a test signal proportional to the concentration of a prescribed fluorescent composition of matter comprised in the test sample; and (c) determining the value of the unknown UV fluence by comparing the test signal to a calibration curve of a control signal proportional to concentration of the prescribed fluorescent composition of matter in the fluid as a function of applied UV fluence. There is also described a system for determining the UV fluence received by a fluid being treated in UV fluid treatment system comprising at least one UV source. The system comprises: (a) a radiation-transparent vessel for receiving a test sample of the fluid after irradiation of the fluid at an unknown UV fluence; (b) a fluorometer for measuring the fluorescence of the test sample received in the radiation-transparent vessel to produce a test signal proportional to the concentration of a prescribed fluorescent composition of matter comprised in the test sample; and (c) a controller configured to determine the value of the unknown UV fluence by comparing the test signal to a calibration curve of a control signal proportional to concentration of the prescribed fluorescent composition of matter in the fluid as a function of applied UV fluence.

    Abstract: A measuring device (40) for measuring an illumination property of an illumination system (12), which is configured for two-dimensional irradiation of a substrate (24) arranged in an illumination plane (21) with illumination radiation (20). Two differing measurement beam paths (52, 54) are formed in the measuring device, each arranged to guide the illumination radiation emitted by the illumination system onto a spatially resolving intensity detector (42) of the measuring device. A first (52) of the measurement beam paths is arranged to measure an intensity distribution in the illumination plane and the second (54) of the measurement beam paths is arranged to measure an intensity distribution in a pupil of the illumination system. The measuring device also includes an imaging optical unit (44) arranged in the first measurement beam path (52) such that the illumination radiation guided in the first measurement beam path passes through the imaging optical unit.

    Abstract: According to the exposure amount evaluation method of the embodiment, a photomask including a long-wavelength light reflective film and a mask pattern is set in an EUV exposure apparatus. The long-wavelength light reflective film reflects long-wavelength light having a wavelength longer than that of EUV light and absorbs the EUV light. The mask pattern is formed by an absorption film which is arranged on the upper side of the long-wavelength light reflective film and absorbs the EUV light and the long-wavelength light. A substrate on which resist is coated are set in the EUV exposure apparatus. Exposure light reflected by the photomask is irradiated to the substrate, and a light amount distribution of the long-wavelength light irradiated to the substrate is measured on the basis of an exposure amount of the exposure light irradiated to the substrate.
