Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A lithographic apparatus includes a uniformity correction system located at a plane and configured to receive a substantially constant pupil when illuminated with the beam of radiation. The uniformity correction system includes fingers that move into and out of intersection with a beam so as to correct an intensity of respective portions of the radiation beam. According to another embodiment, a method includes for: focusing a beam of radiation at a first plane to form pupil; adjusting the intensity of the beam near the first plane by moving fingers located near the first plane into and out of a path of the beam of radiation, wherein a width of a tip of each of the fingers is larger than that of corresponding actuating devices used to move each corresponding one of the fingers; patterning the beam; and projecting the patterned beam onto a substrate.
