Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus includes a patterning device that patterns a projected beam. The patterning device includes an array of cells that contain a polar fluid, a non-polar fluid, and an electrode. A potential difference across the electrode and the polar fluid causes displacement of the non-polar fluid. Based on a difference in refractive index between the polar fluid and the non-polar fluid, a beam of light which passes through the cell will have its phase changed in dependence on the relative thickness on the polar and non-polar fluids and on their refractive indices.
