    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography apparatus being improved in alignment. SOLUTION: In an alignment method, a beam with a first pattern is irradiated to a first target portion of a substrate to form the first pattern on the substrate. Then, a beam with a second pattern is irradiated to a second target portion of the substrate to form the second pattern on the substrate. The second target portion is at least partially overlapped with the first target portion. During irradiating the second pattern, a diffraction beam is detected due to diffraction of the beam with the second pattern on the first pattern. The diffraction beam is compared to a desired diffraction beam, so that alignment of the substrate is performed, based on a result of comparison between the detected diffraction beam and the desired diffraction beam.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve quality of pixels in a lithographic device and a method for manufacturing the device.
    SOLUTION: The lithographic device has a first movable element (like an immersion liquid supply system), and operates while contacting the surface of a second movable element (like a substrate table). The lithographic device is also provided with a second element controller (like a substrate table controller) C2 that controls the amount of positions in the second movable element. Disturbance force by capillary force, for example, caused by relative movements of the first and the second movable elements, disturbs the positions y1, y2 of the first and the second movable elements. The lithographic device includes a feed forward control path that feeds a disturbance feed forward signal to the second element controller C2 to correct at least a part of positions of the second movable element caused by such a disturbance force, and the feed forward control path includes a disturbance force estimator Fd that estimates the disturbance force from the amount y1 of the position in the first movable element.
