Zusammenfassung:Embodiments relate to compensating for lens heating, lithographic projection system and photo mask. Accordingly, lens heating is compensated by providing a layout pattern including a regular pattern being arranged substantially symmetrical in a first region and a sub-resolution pattern including a plurality of sub-resolution structural elements, wherein the sub-resolution pattern in a second region, so as to minimize non-homogenous lens heating of a projection apparatus in case of a lithographic projection.
