    摘要: Disclosed is a device manufacturing method and associated apparatus, the method comprising transferring a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate. The method relates to the alignment of said patterning device and said substrate, and comprises imparting a radiation beam onto an alignment structure on said patterning device so as to obtain a resultant aerial image; scanning an image sensor in accordance with a scanning scheme, through a target volume containing said resultant aerial image, the relative positions of said image sensor and said substrate being known or subsequently determined; and measuring features of said image and thereby determining of the location of the alignment structure relative to the image sensor; wherein an alternative scanning scheme is used in which, for example two or more scans through the whole target volume are performed, having a total duration the same as a conventional single continuous scan.
