Abstract: A method of controlling a lithographic apparatus having an exposure mode configured to expose a wafer held by a substrate table to an image of a pattern on a production reticle via a projection system, wherein in the exposure mode the production reticle is held at a reticle stage and is protected by a pellicle. The method comprises determining characteristics of the projecting in a calibration mode. The determining comprises moving the reticle stage holding a further reticle protected by a further pellicle, the further reticle having a mark. During the moving the further reticle is illuminated with radiation to form an aerial image of the mark, the aerial image is projected via the projection system onto a sensor and the projected aerial image is sensed as received at the sensor. The characteristics of the sensed aerial image are determined.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus comprises an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam, a support to support a patterning device, a substrate table to hold a substrate; and a projection system to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The support is provided with a transparent layer to protect the pattering device. The apparatus further comprises a transparent layer deformation-determining device to determine a deformation profile of the transparent layer, the deformation profile of the transparent layer expressing a deformation of the transparent layer during a scanning movement of the lithographic apparatus, a compensator device which is configured to control at least one of the projection system, the substrate table and the support in response to the deformation profile of the transparent layer to compensate for the deformation of the transparent layer during the scanning movement of the apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining calibrated reference exposure and measure grids for referencing position of a substrate stage in a lithographic system. The method comprises obtaining calibration data relating to one or more calibration substrates; and determining an exposure grid for an exposure side of the lithographic system from said calibration data and a measure grid for a measure side of the lithographic system from said calibration data. The exposure grid and said measure grid are decomposed so as to remove a calibration substrate dependent component from said exposure grid and from said measure grid to obtain a substrate independent exposure grid and substrate independent measure grid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for mitigating an effect of non-uniform pellicle degradation on control of a substrate patterning process and an associated lithographic apparatus. The method comprises quantifying an effect of the non-uniform pellicle degradation on one or more properties of patterned features, such as metrology targets, formed on the substrate by the substrate patterning process. A process control correction is then determined based on the quantification of the effect of the non-uniform pellicle degradation.

Abstract: A method of controlling alignment in a lithographic apparatus configured to expose a substrate (702) held by a substrate table (704) to an image of a pattern on a patterning device (708) via a projection system (706). The method comprises illuminating a target (710) on the substrate with an image (714) of an alignment mark on the patterning device, displacing the substrate table relative to the image of the alignment mark, collecting radiation scattered by the target during the displacing step at a detector. During the relative displacing, one or both of the patterning device and the substrate table. The relative displacement is independent of individual movements of the patterning device and the substrate table.
