    摘要: A metrology system (1) and a method for determining low order errors are disclosed. At least one measurement objective (9) for the determination of the position of structures (3) on a substrate (2) is provided. The substrate (2) to be measured rests in a support on three points of support (52). The support exhibits an opening (53) for measuring the substrate (2). At least two marks (54) are provided on the support for the mask (2) in such a way that the marks (54) are capturable with the measurement objective (9) by moving the measurement table (20). Furthermore the substrate (2) in the support does not screen the marks (54) on the support.

    摘要: A measuring apparatus for determining relative positions of a positioning stage arranged in a moveable fashion in at least one direction by a predeterminable maximum traversing path. The measuring device comprises at least one interferometric measuring means and at least one interferometric correction means. An interferometric measuring means is operable with the laser light of a laser of at least one wavelength. Correction results can be generated with the interferometric correction means allowing conclusions to be drawn with respect to the actual wavelength of the laser light during a position determination of the positioning stage in order to take into account variations of the wavelength of the laser light, in particular due to ambient conditions, when evaluating the measuring results. The interferometric correction means is arranged proximate to the interferometric measuring means, and the proximity corresponds to a predeterminable portion of the maximum traversing path of the positioning stage.

    摘要: An interferometric device for position measurement of an element moveable in a plane is disclosed. A laser light source measures the position of the moveable element and emits the required measuring light. A beam splitter splits the measuring light into a first partial beam path and a second partial beam path, which each impinge on a reflecting surface of the moveable element via an interferometer. Herein, at least the beam splitter, which splits the measuring light into a first partial beam path and a second partial beam path, and the beam splitter, which directs the third partial beam path onto an etalon via an interferometer, have a respective beam trap associated with them, which traps the light returning from the respective interferometers.
