摘要:
A level sensor arrangement is useable for measuring a height of a surface of a substrate in a lithographic apparatus. The level sensor arrangement is provided with a light source emitting detection radiation towards the substrate, and a detector unit for measuring radiation reflected from the substrate in operation. The light source is arranged to emit detection radiation in a wavelength range in which a resist to be used for processing the substrate in the lithographic apparatus is sensitive.

A level sensor for measuring a position of a surface of a substrate includes a projection unit including an emitter for emitting a radiation beam towards the substrate and a projection grating including a measurement grating and an aperture, such that the radiation beam incident on the projection grating is divided into a measurement radiation beam and a capture radiation beam. The level sensor further includes a detection unit including a first and second measurement detector, a first and second capture detector, a detection grating, and a first and second optical unit. The detection grating includes a ruled grating with multiple rules, which direct radiation towards the first and second measurement detector via the first and second optical unit, and a capture element directing radiation towards the first and second capture detector via the first and second optical unit.
