Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus can include the following devices: a patterning system, a projection system, and a radiation beam inspection device. The patterning system can be configured to provide a patterned radiation beam. The projection system can be configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. Further, the radiation beam inspection device can be configured to inspect at least a part of the patterned radiation beam. In a substrate exposure position, the projection system is configured to expose a pattern of radiation on the substrate using the patterned radiation beam and the radiation beam device is configured to move the reflecting device away from a light path of the patterned radiation beam. In a radiation beam inspection position, the radiation beam inspection device is configured to move the reflecting device into the light path of the patterned radiation beam.
