    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a level sensor for use in positioning a target portion of the substrate with respect to a focal plane of the projection system, a pair of actuators, configured to move a substrate table of the lithographic apparatus, and a controller for moving the substrate relative to the level sensor by controlling the actuators. The controller combines motions of the first and second actuators to produce a combined movement having a speed higher than a maximum speed of at least one of the actuators individually.

    摘要: A method of positioning a target portion of a substrate with respect to a focal plane of a projection system uses a level sensor to perform height measurements of at least part of the substrate to generate height data. Specified and/or predetermined correction heights are used to compute corrected height data. The predetermined correction heights may be at least partially based on process stack data. The position of a substrate table is controlled using the correction heights which are partially based on the process stack data, in particular the process stack layer of the target area.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a method of calibrating level sensors of at least two lithographic projection apparatus to correct machine to machine level sensor process dependency includes using a first lithographic projection apparatus to measure a first set of leveling data for a reference substrate and a second set of leveling data for a substrate processed according to a selected process, and using a second lithographic projection apparatus to measure a third set of leveling data for the reference substrate and a fourth set of leveling data for the processed substrate. The method also includes calculating, based on the first, second, third and fourth sets of leveling data, a set of level sensor parameters corresponding to machine to machine level sensor differences for the selected process, wherein the machine to machine level sensor differences are measured and stored as intrafield values.
