Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are described for cleaning contamination from the surface of an object within a lithographic apparatus. A lithographic apparatus is provided that includes an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam, a support constructed to hold a patterning device (302), the patterning device being capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam, a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The lithographic apparatus further includes a cleaning system (500) for cleaning particles off of a surface of either the support or the patterning device. The cleaning system includes a cleaning surface (502) designed to contact the surface of either the support or the patterning device.
