摘要: A method, and associated apparatus and computer program, to determine corrections for a parameter of interest, such as critical dimension, of a patterning process. The method includes determining an exposure control correction for an exposure control parameter and, optionally, determining a process control correction for a process control parameter, based upon a measurement of the parameter of interest of a structure, and an exposure control relationship and a process control relationship. The exposure control relationship describes the dependence of the parameter of interest on the exposure control parameter and the process control relationship describes the dependence of the parameter of interest on the process control parameter. The exposure control correction and process control correction may be co-optimized to minimize variation of the parameter of interest of subsequent exposed and processed structures relative to a target parameter of interest.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented defect prediction method for a device manufacturing process involving processing a portion of a design layout onto a substrate, the method comprising: identifying a hot spot from the portion of the design layout; determining a range of values of a processing parameter of the device manufacturing process for the hot spot, wherein when the processing parameter has a value outside the range, a defect is produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process; determining an actual value of the processing parameter; determining or predicting, using the actual value, existence, probability of existence, a characteristic, or a combination thereof, of a defect produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process.

摘要: A method and apparatus for cleaning the inside of an immersion lithographic apparatus is disclosed. In particular, a liquid supply system of the lithographic apparatus may be used to introduce a cleaning fluid into a space between the projection system and the substrate table of the lithographic apparatus. Additionally or alternatively, a cleaning device may be provided on the substrate table and an ultrasonic emitter may be provided to create an ultrasonic cleaning liquid.

摘要: A difficulty of contamination interfering with a grid plate positional measurement system is addressed. In one embodiment contamination is prevented from coming into contact with the grating or the sensor. In an embodiment, surface acoustic waves are used to detach contamination from a surface of the grating or sensor.

摘要: In a lithographic apparatus, a localized area of the substrate surface under a projection system is immersed in liquid. The height of a liquid supply system above the surface of the substrate can be varied using actuators. A control system uses feedforward or feedback control with input of the surface height of the substrate to maintain the liquid supply system at a predetermined height above the surface of the substrate.
