    摘要: The invention provides an efficient reading device in which, even if one radiation beam should fail, no information is lost and the information can still be read out without time-consuming recurring operations. The present invention solves this problem by providing a reading device (FIG. 5A) and a means (FIG. 4) for forming read-out spots (A, B, C, D, E) that are built up by multiple radiation beams from the radiation source (4). This has the advantage that each read-out spot will have energy contributions from different radiation beams and, should one radiation beam break down, the intensity of some of the read-out spots may indeed diminish, but the information can still be read out thanks to the contributions from other radiation beams.

    摘要: Presently known d=1 codes have long trains consisting of consecutive 2T runs and an overall high frequency of occurrence of the shortest 2T runs that reduce the performance of the bit detector By using a code with an MTR constraint of 2 an improvement in the bit detection is achieved. A code constructed in a systematic way that provides an MTR constraint of 2 is presented. A variation of such a code is disclosed where one sub-code is used, where coding states are divided into coding classes and where code words are divided into code word types. Then, for a given sub-code, an code word of type t can be concatenated with an code word of the next sub-code if said subsequent code word of said next sub-code belongs to one of coding states of the coding class with index Tmax+1 t. In the code according to the invention the overall code has the property that the respective channel bit sequences that are encoded from the same message-bit sequence, starting from any possible state of the finite-state-machine, for each of the two values of a DC-control bit, that is part of a given user word have opposite parities for the sequences generated from the starting state up to the state where both encoder paths merge. For the case that the encoder paths do not merge, there is no such constraint. Finally, a new d=1, k=10 sliding-block decodable RLL code is disclosed with the following properties: (i) it has an r=2 constraint which is the lowest MTR value that is compatible with a rate R=⅔; (ii) it enables practical SISO-RLL decoding because of its compact 2-to-3 mapping; and (iii) the new code uses a parity-complementary word assignment4 (PCWA) for DC-control.

    摘要: A target for measuring an overlay error or a critical dimension of a substrate comprises a grating. In one example, lines of the grating are arranged at an angle of about 45° with respect to edges of the target. As a consequence, the diffraction order of the grating reflection has its sub-maxima not aligned along the line on which the other diffraction orders are positioned, and overlap of intensity with other diffraction orders is reduced.

    摘要: Calibration of an angularly resolved scatterometer is performed by measuring a target in two or more different arrangements. The different arrangements cause radiation being measured in an outgoing direction to be different combinations of radiation illuminating the target from ingoing directions. A reference mirror measurement may also be performed. The measurements and modeling of the difference between the first and second arrangements is used to estimate separately properties of the ingoing and outgoing optical systems. The modeling may account for symmetry of the respective periodic target. The modeling typically accounts for polarizing effects of the ingoing optical elements, the outgoing optical elements and the respective periodic target. The polarizing effects may be described in the modeling by Jones calculus or Mueller calculus. The modeling may include a parameterization in terms of basis functions such as Zernike polynomials.
