ABSTRACT:
A system and/or method are disclosed for measuring and/or controlling refractive index (n) and/or lithographic constant (k) of an immersion medium utilized in connection with immersion lithography. A known grating structure is built upon a substrate. A refractive index monitoring component facilitates measuring and/or controlling the immersion medium by utilizing detected light scattered from the known grating structure.
