    摘要: An encoder, which measures a relative moving amount of a second member relative to a first member, includes: a diffraction grating provided on the first member; a light-incident optical member causing a measuring light to come into a grating pattern surface of the diffraction grating substantially perpendicularly; a first reflecting member provided on the second member and reflecting a diffracted light generated from the diffraction grating; a first direction-changing member changing a direction of the diffracted light; a first photo-detector detecting an interference light generated by interference between a double diffracted light and other diffracted light than the double diffracted light or a reference light, the double diffracted light being generated, via diffraction of the diffracted light, from the diffraction grating; and a measuring section which obtains the relative moving amount of the second member relative to the first member by using a detection signal from the first photo-detector.

    摘要: A positioning system for controlling a relative position between a first component and a second component of a lithographic apparatus, wherein a position of each component is defined by a set of orthogonal coordinates, the positioning system including: a measuring device configured to determine an error in the momentary position of one of the components with respect to a setpoint position in a measurement coordinate; and a controller configured to control movement of the other component in a control coordinate based on the determined error; wherein the measurement coordinate is different from the control coordinate.

    摘要: In a method of aligning a wafer stage, the wafer stage may be moved in an X-axis direction. A first coordinate of the wafer stage may be measured from a first measurement position inclined to the X-axis. The wafer stage may be moved in a Y-axis direction. A second coordinate of the wafer stage may be measured from a second measurement position inclined to the Y-axis. Thus, a movement distance of the wafer stage may be increased, so that the interferometers may accurately measure the position of the wafer stage.
