Brevet US8018657 - Optical arrangement of autofocus elements for use with immersion lithography - Google Brevets
A lithographic projection apparatus includes an optical element through which a substrate is exposed with an exposure beam. A space between the optical element and the substrate is filled with liquid during the exposure. In addition, a gap is formed between a member and a surface, through which the exposure...http://www.google.fr/patents/US8018657?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US8018657 - Optical arrangement of autofocus elements for use with immersion lithography
