摘要:
In an interferometric displacement measuring system, a correction for beamshear is made. The correction may be a polynomial of a variable proportional to the length of the optical path traversed by the measurement beam and the angle of the measurement mirror. The correction compensates for errors caused by non-planarity of the wavefront of the measurement beam.
摘要:
A lithographic apparatus includes a position measurement system to determine along a measurement path a position of a first part of the lithographic apparatus with respect to a position of a second part of the lithographic apparatus. The position determination system comprises a plurality of temperature sensors to measure a temperature of a medium along the measurement path. The position measurement system corrects the determined position making use of the temperature as measured by the temperature sensors.
摘要:
A lithographic apparatus comprises a substrate table to hold a substrate, a reference structure and a measurement system to measure a position of the substrate table with respect to the reference structure. The measurement system comprises a first measurement system to measure a position of the substrate table with respect to an intermediate structure and a second measurement system to measure a position of the intermediate structure with respect to the reference structure. The intermediate structure may be connected or connectable to a drive mechanism to drive the substrate table. A distance between the substrate table and the intermediate structure, and a distance between the intermediate structure and the reference structure may be small which results in a highly accurate position measurement.

An improved lithographic interferometer system, is presented herein. The lithographic interferometer system comprises a beam generating mechanism, mirrors which reflect those beams, and detection devices for detecting an interference pattern of overlapping reflected beams. The beam generating mechanism comprises a beam-splitter, which splits the beams into reference beams and measuring beams, a reference mirror that provides a plane mirror interferometer, and a reflective surface that emits at least one reference beam used in a differential plane mirror interferometer.
