    摘要: A method according to one embodiment of the invention relates to determining at least one parameter of a model that provides information about a position of an object. The object has a plurality of alignment marks of which desired positions are known. The method includes measuring a plurality of positional parameters for each alignment mark. Based on the measured plurality of positional parameters, which are weighted with weighing coefficients, at least one parameter of the model of the object is determined. The numerical value of each weighing coefficient is determined together with the at least one parameter of the model.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam, a support for a patterning device, a substrate table for a substrate, a projection system, and a control system. The patterning device is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. The projection system is configured to project the patterned radiation beam as an image onto a target portion of the substrate along a scan path. The scan path is defined by a trajectory in a scanning direction of an exposure field of the lithographic apparatus. The control system is coupled to the support, the substrate table and the projection system for controlling an action of the support, the substrate table and the projection system, respectively. The control system is configured to correct a local distortion of the image in a region along the scan path by a temporal adjustment of the image in that region.

    摘要: Two drive systems are responsible for moving a substrate beneath, for example, an illumination system or a measurement radiation beam. A first drive system drives a substrate in a X direction and a second drive system drives the substrate in a Y direction. In order to make a measurement of a feature of the substrate surface, targets are arranged in a lattice. Rather than having the lattice aligned with the X and Y directions such that only one drive system operates at a time to step between the targets, the lattice of targets is arranged at an angle with respect to the X and Y axes such that both drive systems operate simultaneously in order to move between the targets. The targets (or sub-targets within the targets) may also be arranged with respect to each other so as to save scribelane space and to create a most economical path between them.

    摘要: An apparatus and method to determine overlay of a target on a substrate (6) by measuring, in the pupil plane (40) of a high numerical aperture len (L1), an angle-resolved spectrum as a result of radiation being reflected off the substrate. The overlay is determined from the anti-symmetric component of the spectrum, which is formed by subtracting the measured spectrum and a mirror image of the measured spectrum. The measured spectrum may contain only zeroth order reflected radiation from the target.
