    摘要: For lithographically manufacturing a device with a very high density, a design mask pattern (120) is distributed on a number of sub-patterns (120a, 120b, 120c) by means of a new method. The sub-patterns do not comprise “forbidden” structures (135) and can be transferred by conventional apparatus to a substrate layer to be patterned. For the transfer, a new stack of layers is used, which comprise a pair of a processing layer (22; 26) and an inorganic anti-reflection layer (24; 28) for each sub-pattern. After a first processing layer (26) has been patterned with a first sub-pattern, it is coated with a new resist layer (30) which is exposed with a second sub-pattern, and a second processing layer (22) under the first processing layer is processed with the second sub-pattern.

    摘要: Aberrations of an imaging system (PL) can be detected in an accurate and reliable way by imaging, by means of the imaging system, a test object having circular phase structure (22) on a photoresist (PR), developing the resis and scanning it with a scanning detection device (SEM) which is coupled to an image processor (IP). The circular phase structure is imaged in a ring structure (25) and each of several possible aberrations, like coma, astigmatism, three-point aberration, etc. causes a specific change in the shape of the inner contour (CI) and the outer contour (CE) of the ring and/or a change in the distance between these contours, so that the aberrations can be detected independently of each other.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for repetitively imaging a mask pattern (C) on a substrate (W) are described. The focusing of the projection lens system used for imaging and various other parameters of the apparatus and the projection lens system (PL), as well as illumination doses can be measured accurately and reliably, and measuring devices of the apparatus can be calibrated, by measuring an image of a new asymmetrical test mark formed in the photoresist on the substrate (W) by means of a projection beam (PB).
