摘要:
A level sensor for a lithographic projection apparatus, the level sensor comprising a light source, a first reflector, a second reflector and a detector the first reflector being arranged to direct light from the light source towards a wafer surface, and the second reflector being arranged to direct light reflected from the wafer surface to the detector, wherein the first and second reflectors are configured to incur a minimal process dependent apparent surface depression.
摘要:
According to one embodiment, a method of calibrating level sensors of at least two lithographic projection apparatus to correct machine to machine level sensor process dependency includes using a first lithographic projection apparatus to measure a first set of leveling data for a reference substrate and a second set of leveling data for a substrate processed according to a selected process, and using a second lithographic projection apparatus to measure a third set of leveling data for the reference substrate and a fourth set of leveling data for the processed substrate. The method also includes calculating, based on the first, second, third and fourth sets of leveling data, a set of level sensor parameters corresponding to machine to machine level sensor differences for the selected process, wherein the machine to machine level sensor differences are measured and stored as intrafield values.
