Abstract: Alignment to buried marks is carried out by using electromagnetic radiation to induce waves in the layers covering the buried layer. The acoustic or thermal waves cause reflectivity changes and displacements in the surface whose position and/or time dependence reveals the true position of the buried alignment mark. The buried alignment mark may be revealed by mapping the thickness of covering layers in its vicinity, e.g. by measuring the time dependence of the decay of a standing wave induced in the covering layers or by measuring the delay time of echoes of a travelling wave created at interfaces between different ones of the covering layers. Alternatively, a travelling wave can be created over the whole area of the mark so that echoes off the top and bottom of the buried mark carry positive and negative images of the mark; these cause reflectivity differences and displacements when they reach the surface which can be aligned to.

Abstract: During device manufacturing, a beam of radiation is projected onto a substrate via a mask. The substrate is aligned with the mask using an alignment structure on the substrate, with properties of the light reflected from (or transmitted by) the alignment structure being used to determine the relative position of the substrate. Earlier processing of the substrate may cause errors in the position determined from the reflected light. In one embodiment of the invention, measurement of properties of the reflected light are used to determine a correction for errors caused by processing of the substrate. Parameters of a physical model of the alignment structure may be estimated from the reflected light and used to determine the correction. Amplitudes of a plurality of different diffraction peaks may be measured to determine the correction.

Abstract: An alignment sensor includes a spatially coherent radiation source that supplies a radiation beam to an angle-resolved scatterometer. Alignment is performed by detecting beats in the scatter spectrum during scanning of the substrate relative to the scatterometer.

Abstract: Inspection Method and Apparatus, Lithographic Apparatus,Lithographic Processing Cell and Device Manufacturing Method A fault detection and classification method is disclosed that uses raw back- focal-plane image data of radiation from a substrate surface, detected by a scatterometer detector, to determine a variation in the raw data and correlate the variation in the raw data with a possible fault in a lithographic apparatus or a process that patterned the substrate surface. The correlation is carried out by comparing the variation in the raw data with known metrology data. Once a fault has been determined, a user may be notified of the fault.

Abstract: Correcting for misalignment of a substrate before it is exposed is performed using offset corrections and process corrections that are calculated based on alignment offset measurements of alignment marks and overlay measurements of overlay targets on substrates in previous batches.

Abstract: Both the 1st and 0th diffraction orders are detected in a scatterometer. The 1st diffraction orders are used to detect the overlay error. The 0th diffraction order is then used to flag if this is a false overlay error calculation of magnitude greater than the bias but smaller than the pitch of the grating. [Fig. 1] & [Fig. 4]
