Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method using laser trimming of a multiple mirror contrast device

摘要

A lithographic apparatus comprises a topography measurement device, a patterning device, and a corrective device. The topography measurement device measures a topography of at least one mechanical element of a patterning device. The patterning device comprises an array of individually controllable mechanical elements that are arranged to impart a pattern to a radiation beam. The corrective device corrects a mechanical property of the at least one mechanical element on the basis of information obtained by the topography measurement device.
