摘要: A substrate handler for transferring substrates to be exposed from a track to a lithographic apparatus. The substrate handler comprises a controller. The controller is configured to determine an instance for starting a transfer process of a first one of the substrates. The instance is based on a predetermined processing characteristic of the lithographic apparatus, in order to maintain a transfer period of the substrate in the substrate handler substantially constant.

摘要: A measurement method comprising using multiple radiation poles to illuminate a diffraction grating on a mask at a mask side of a projection system of a lithographic apparatus, coupling at least two different resulting diffraction orders per illumination pole through the projection system, using the projection system to project the diffraction orders onto a grating on a wafer such that a pair of combination diffraction orders is formed by diffraction of the diffraction orders, coupling the combination diffraction orders back through the projection system to detectors configured to measure the intensity of the combination diffraction orders, and using the measured intensity of the combination diffraction orders to measure the position of the wafer grating.
