Abstract

A lithographic apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention includes an image sensing device configured and arranged to measure a pattern in a patterned beam of radiation. The image sensing device comprises a slab on which at least two sensors are formed. The sensors are sensitive to radiation of the beam and are arranged on a first side of the slab. A film that is non-transparent to radiation of the beam is provided at the first side over the sensors. The film includes a patterned segment above each sensor.
