    摘要: System and methods estimate model parameters of a lithographic apparatus and control lithographic processing by a lithographic apparatus. An exposure is performed using a lithographic apparatus across a wafer. A set of predetermined wafer measurement locations is obtained. Discrete orthonormal polynomials are generated using the predetermined substrate measurement locations. The overlay errors arising from the exposure are measured at the predetermined locations to obtain overlay measurements. The estimated model parameters of the lithographic apparatus are calculated from the overlay measurements by using the discrete orthogonal polynomials as a basis function to model the overlay across the wafer. Finally, the estimated model parameters are used to control the lithographic apparatus in order to provide corrected overlay across the wafer.

    摘要: A method controls scanning function of a lithographic apparatus. A monitor wafer is exposed to determine baseline control parameters pertaining to the scanning function. The baseline control parameters are retrieved from the monitor wafer. Parameter drift is determined from the baseline control parameters. Compensation is performed based on the determination. A different parameterization is used for control of the scanning control module than for communication between the scanning control module and the lithographic apparatus.
