Lithographic apparatus, method of manufacturing a device, and device manufactured thereby

摘要

A lithographic projection apparatus is provided with a sensor for detecting one of luminescence radiation, desorbed particles, or free charges produced by an interaction of the projection beam with a material at surface of a substrate. The luminescence radiation, desorbed particles, or free charges are indicative of the dose delivered to the substrate, and can be detected close to the substrate or at the substrate level to avoid errors due to transmission variations in the optical path from the radiation source to the substrate.
