摘要:
A system for controlling an apparatus. The system includes an operating device for operating the apparatus based on a first parameter value and a second parameter value, an inspecting device for inspecting operation results of the apparatus corresponding to the first parameter value, an estimating device for estimating operation results of the apparatus corresponding to the first parameter value on the basis of the operation results corresponding to the first parameter value, and a revising device for revising parameter values to operate the apparatus on the basis of the operation results obtained by the inspecting device and the estimated operation results obtained by the estimating device.

A method detects a position of a mark based on an image signal of the mark. The method includes steps of obtaining a first position of the mark by performing a first process for the image signal, extracting plural feature values from the image signal based on the first position, and detecting the position of the mark by obtaining an offset value for the first position based on the plural feature values.

A position detecting method includes the steps of forming an image of a mark on a sensor, performing a first process that processes a raw signal obtained from the sensor with plural parameters, performing a second process that determines an edge of a signal processed by the first process for each parameter, determining a parameter from a result of the second process obtained for each parameter, and calculating a position of the mark based on a determined parameter.

There is provided a position detecting method for detecting a position of an object, on which an alignment mark including plural mark elements is formed. The method includes the steps of obtaining positional information indicative of each position of the plural mark elements, selecting positional information that has predetermined precision among plural pieces of positional information obtained by the obtaining step, and calculating the position of the object using the positional information that has the predetermined precision selected by the selecting step.

A measurement apparatus includes a measurement unit configured to execute first measurement at each of a plurality of measurement points on a substrate, which are juxtaposed in one of a direction perpendicular to a scanning direction and an oblique direction with respect to the scanning direction, and to execute a second measurement at each of the plurality of measurement points, while the substrate is shifted in a direction different from the scanning direction and a processing unit configured to select some measurement points from the plurality of measurement points on the basis of a change in a measurement value at each measurement point, which is obtained by the first measurement and the second measurement.

An alignment apparatus for aligning a reflective reticle includes a light source for emitting alignment light, an optical alignment mark provided on the reticle, and a reference mark provided on a reticle stage that holds the reticle. A detecting unit detects the alignment light reflected from the alignment mark and the reference mark, and the reticle is aligned on the basis of the result of detection by the detection unit.
摘要:
A management apparatus which manages a parameter for an industrial device acquires AGA measurement results obtained by operating the industrial device with an operation job parameter value and non-operation job parameter value. An inspection apparatus acquires an “inspection result” obtained by inspecting the result of operating the industrial device in the operation job. A change in inspection result upon a change in parameter value is estimated on the basis of the AGA measurement result and inspection result. A variable which minimizes (extreme) both or at least one of the sensitivity (slope) of the inspection result upon a change in parameter value and variations (3σ) in inspection result between objects to be processed (e.g., wafers) is set as an optimal parameter.

A surface shape measurement apparatus is configured to measure a surface shape of an object to be measured, and includes a beam splitter configured to split white light from a light source into two light beams, a pair of prisms each configured to increase an incident angle of each light beam that has been split by the beam splitter and directed to the object or a reference surface, each prism having an antireflection part that is formed at a period of a wavelength of the white light or smaller and has a moth-eye shape, a superimposition unit configured to superimpose object light from the object with reference light from the reference surface and has passed the second prism, and to generate white interference light, and a Lyot filter configured to discretely separate the white interference light for each of a plurality of wavelengths.
