    Abstract: A wafer chuck table includes a center plate having a plurality of first protrusions each having an upper end at least partially defining a first reference plane, segmented plates arranged around the center plate and having a plurality of second protrusions, each having an upper end at least partially defining a second reference plane such that the segmented plates have separate, respective pluralities of second protrusions at least partially defining separate, respective second reference planes, and driving units configured to adjust an inclination angle of the segmented plates with respect to the center plate so that the first reference plane and the separate, respective second reference planes are coplanar.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a chuck having an upper surface configured to support a substrate; a fixing unit configured to generate chucking force to fix the substrate to the chuck in a first perpendicular direction and applying the chucking force to the substrate; and a controller configured to divide the chuck into a plurality of zones on a plane perpendicular to the first direction, based on reference overlay distribution corresponding to a degree of overlay deterioration when the substrate is fixed to the upper surface of the chuck, and individually control respective magnitudes of the chucking force applied to each of the plurality of zones. The controller is configured to reduce a magnitude of chucking force applied to a zone including a region having a high degree of overlay deterioration, among the plurality of zones, in the reference overlay distribution.
