Progressively energized electrostatic clamp for a lithography apparatus

An electrostatic clamp is described. The electrostatic clamp comprises a surface configured to contact a clamped object and an electrode coupled to the surface. The electrode is configured to progressively energize portions of the surface such that contact between the object and the surface propagat...

description An electrostatic clamp is described. The electrostatic clamp comprises a surface configured to contact a clamped object and an electrode coupled to the surface. The electrode is configured to progressively energize portions of the surface such that contact between the object and the surface propagates from an initially energized contact location progressively across the surface. Contact between the object and the surface propagates from the initially energized contact location at a rate that facilitates local stress relaxation in the object as contact occurs progressively across the surface. A rate of surface energization is slower than a rate of local stress relaxation in the object, for example. This contrasts with a typical clamp where a near instant uniform applied voltage over the whole electrode area causes a bowed reticle to be clamped over a large area without having the time to "relax", causing local stress that cannot be easily removed.
