    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method having verification structures that enable to determine the distribution of each of a contrast setting, a dose setting, and a focus setting. SOLUTION: A method of measuring a lithographic projection apparatus includes imaging a verification mark of a patterning device onto a radiation-sensitive layer held by a substrate table of a lithographic apparatus, wherein the verification mark 100 includes at least a first, a second and a third verification structures 110, 120 and 130 that have a mutually different sensitivity profile for a dose setting, a focus setting and a contrast setting.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of positioning a target portion of a substrate with respect to a focal plane of a projection system. SOLUTION: The method includes measuring a height of at least a portion of the substrate using a level sensor, and generating height data. A correction height which is specified and/or precalculated is used to calculate corrected height data. Use of the precalculated correction height may be partially based upon process stack data. The position of a substrate table is controlled using the correction height partially based upon a process stack layer, specially upon a process stack layer in a target area.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain a wafer surface at a suitable focus position by measuring the position and direction of the wafer surface relative to a projection optical system during exposure, and adjusting a vertical position and a horizontal tilt of a wafer table. SOLUTION: A lithographic apparatus includes a level sensor for use in positioning a target portion of a substrate with respect to a focal plane of the projection system, a pair of actuators, configured to move a substrate table of the lithographic apparatus, and a controller for moving the substrate relative to the level sensor by controlling the actuators. The controller combines motions of the first and second actuators to produce a combined movement having a speed higher than a maximum speed of at least one of the actuators individually.

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus including a substrate table position measurement system and a projection system position measurement system to measure a position of the substrate table and the projection system, respectively. The substrate table position measurement system includes a substrate table reference element mounted on the substrate table and a first sensor head. The substrate table reference element extends in a measurement plane substantially parallel to the holding plane of a substrate on substrate table. The holding plane is arranged at one side of the measurement plane and the first sensor head is arranged at an opposite side of the measurement plane. The projection system position measurement system includes one or more projection system reference elements and a sensor assembly. The sensor head and the sensor assembly or the associated projection system measurement elements are mounted on a sensor frame.
