    摘要: A lithographic method of determining a sensitivity of a property of a pattern feature to change in optical aberrations of a lithographic apparatus used to provide that pattern feature. The method includes controlling a configuration of the lithographic apparatus to establish a first aberration state, forming a first image of the pattern feature with that lithographic apparatus when the lithographic apparatus is in that first aberration state, measuring a property of the image, controlling a configuration of the lithographic apparatus to establish a second, different, aberration state, forming an image of the same pattern feature with that lithographic apparatus when the lithographic apparatus is in that second aberration state, measuring a same property of the image, and using the measurements to determine the sensitivity of the property of the pattern feature to changes in the aberration state.

    摘要: In an off-axis levelling procedure a height map of the substrate is generated at a measurement station. The height map is referenced to a physical reference surface of the substrate table. The physical reference surface may be a surface in which is inset a transmission image sensor. At the exposure station the height of the physical reference surface is measured and related to the focal plane of the projection lens. The height map can then be used to determine the optimum height and/or tilt of substrate table to position the exposure area on the substrate in best focus during exposure. The same principles can be applied to (reflective) masks.
