    Abstract: A system includes a radiation source, an optical system, an optical element, a detection system, and a processor. The radiation source is configured to generate a radiation beam. The optical system is configured to direct the radiation beam toward a target structure and to receive the scattered radiation. The target structure is configured to produce scattered radiation comprising one or more scattered beams. The optical element is configured to control a position of the one or more scattered beams. The detection system is configured to receive a portion of the position-controlled scattered radiation and to generate a detection signal. The processor is configured to determine a property of the target structure based on at least the detection signal.

    Abstract: A slit shaped area of a patterning device is illuminated to impart a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. As the radiation beam is scanned across the target portion of the substrate, a configuration of the projection system is adjusted and applies a pattern to the target portion. The adjusting may affect a magnitude of an image magnification component of the projection system, along the length of the slit shaped area, or an image distortion in a scan direction. The adjusting is arranged to compensate an effect on pattern overlay accuracy of a distortion of the patterning device.

    Abstract translation: 照亮图案形成装置的狭缝形区域以在其横截面上赋予具有图案的辐射束。 投影系统将图案化的辐射束投射到基板的目标部分上。 当辐射束被扫描穿过基板的目标部分时,调整投影系统的配置并将图案应用于目标部分。 调整可以沿着狭缝形状区域的长度或扫描方向上的图像失真影响投影系统的图像放大分量的大小。 该调整被布置为补偿对图案形成装置的变形的图案重叠精度的影响。
