Abstract

See full text

A cleaning tool configured to be inserted into a lithography apparatus in a first configuration, configured to be engaged by a handler of the lithography apparatus, and used for cleaning a portion of the lithography apparatus. The cleaning tool is configured to move from the first configuration to a second, expanded configuration, after engagement by the handler such that the cleaning tool is in the second configuration when used for cleaning the portion of the lithography apparatus. There may also be a container configured to hold the cleaning tool in the first configuration and fit into the lithography apparatus. In that case, the cleaning tool is configured to be inserted into the lithography apparatus in the container, moved from the container by the handler for the cleaning, and returned to the container by the handler after the cleaning.
