Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus and method for simultaneously exposing two patterning devices onto a substrate is disclosed. In an embodiment, a lithographic apparatus includes a plurality of illumination systems for receiving and conditioning a pulsed radiation beam, a beam director arranged between a source of the pulsed radiation and the illumination systems for alternately directing pulses of the radiation beam to the respective illumination systems, a support table for holding a plurality of patterning devices, each of the patterning devices being capable of imparting a respective conditioned radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a plurality of patterned radiation beams, and a projection system configured to project each of the plurality of patterned radiation beams coincidentally onto a target portion of a substrate. In an embodiment, the substrate is covered with a phase change material.
