    摘要: A target structure including a periodic structure is formed on a substrate. An image of the target structure is detected while illuminating the target structure with a beam of radiation, the image being formed using a first part of non-zero order diffracted radiation while excluding zero order diffracted radiation. Intensity values extracted from a region of interest within the image are used to determine a property of the periodic structure. A processing unit recognizes locations of a plurality of boundary features in the image of the target structure to identify regions of interest. The number of boundary features in each direction is at least twice a number of boundaries of periodic structures within the target structure. The accuracy of locating the region is greater than by recognizing only the boundaries of the periodic structure(s).

    摘要: A simulation is carried out of a projection based on an electronically stored circuit pattern and adjustable projection parameters and optical parameters which characterize the specific characteristics of a projection apparatus. Positions at which it is predicted that side lobes will occur in the event of an actual projection are identified in the calculated circuit pattern. The positions of the side lobes are transmitted to a manufacturing unit and are recorded in a measurement program. A wafer, which has been exposed by a mask, is inspected for side lobes, at least at precisely those transmitted positions using the measurement program. The adjustable projection parameters are adapted, a radiation-sensitive layer is removed from and reapplied to the wafer and the projection is repeated with the adapted projection parameters depending on the detection result. The control process is repeated until the side lobes have been completely prevented.

    摘要: A method is disclosed enabling a technologically controllable and economical production of a hard-magnetic powder composed of a samarium-cobalt base alloy for highly coercive permanent magnets. The method is based on a HDDR treatment in which a starting powder is subjected to hydrogenation with disproportionation of the alloy in a first method step under hydrogen and, in a subsequent, second method step under vacuum conditions, a hydrogen desorption with recombination of the alloy. A starting powder containing samarium and cobalt is treated in the first method step either at a high temperature in the range of 500° C. to 900° C. and with a high hydrogen pressure of >0.5 MPa or by applying an intensive fine grinding at a low temperature in the range of 50° C. to 500° C. and with a hydrogen pressure of >0.15 MPa. By means of the method of the invention, magnetic alloy powders can be produced from samarium-cobalt base alloys; highly coercive permanent magnets can be produced from these magnetic alloy powders, particularly by hot compacting or plastic bonding.
