Patent abstract
A device manufacturing method includes bringing pressure within a vacuum chamber of a lithographic projection apparatus to a temperature stabilizing pressure range; keeping the pressure within the vacuum chamber within the temperature stabilizing pressure range for a period of time so as to stabilize the temperature in the vacuum chamber; decreasing the pressure within the vacuum chamber to a production pressure range; generating a beam of radiation with a radiation system; patterning the beam of radiation; and projecting the patterned beam of radiation through the vacuum chamber onto a target portion of a layer of radiation-sensitive material on a substrate.
