    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus having high accuracy in determining a position of a movable object. SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing a device includes projecting a patterned radiation beam to a substrate wherein a position of a movable object is determined with multiple degrees of freedom using many sensors, the number of sensors is larger than the number of degrees of freedom, the position of the movable object is determined with the degrees of freedom using a signal from each of the sensors, and the signal from the sensor is weighed based on difference in noise level of each sensor. The lithography apparatus has improved accuracy in measurement of a position of the movable object and/or superposition ability and focusing ability. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography apparatus capable of determining the values of an error/variations in a Z-position and/or the roughness of a substrate table. SOLUTION: This lithographic projection apparatus comprises an illuminator configured to provide a radiation beam; a support structure configured to hold a patterning device which is configured to impart the beam with a pattern in its cross-section, a substrate table WT configured to hold a substrate W, a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate W, a plurality of level sensors LS configured to detect the level of a substrate on the substrate table WT by measuring the heights of a plurality of points on the substrate, and a system for determining the position of the substrate table WT. Further, the apparatus is provided with a control unit configured to produce a relative displacement between the substrate W and the array of the level sensors LS from a first position, at which a first measurement value is obtained to a plurality of duplicate points at which another measurement value is obtained; and a calculator configured to calculate the value of an error in the Z-position, and/or the non-roughness of a substrate table WT, and/or the values of the positions/the off-set of the level sensors LS by using duplicate measurement values.
