Lithographic Apparatus and Method

摘要

Projecting a pulsed radiation beam using an illumination system onto a region of a plane in a reference frame; using a scanning mechanism to move a calibration sensor relative to the reference frame such that the calibration sensor moves through the beam of radiation in the plane along a scan trajectory; determining a quantity indicative of a velocity of the illumination system relative to the reference frame; and determining information related to a spatial intensity distribution of the radiation beam in the plane in dependence on: (a) an output of the calibration sensor; (b) the scan trajectory of the calibration sensor; and (c) the quantity indicative of a velocity of the illumination system relative to the reference frame.
