    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus and method for exposing a substrate. SOLUTION: An illumination system supplies a series of beams of radiation that are patterned by an array of individually controllable elements and projects the beams through arrays of lenses onto target portions of a substrate. Each lens in the arrays directs a respective part of the beam towards the substrate. A displacement system causes relative displacement between the substrate and the beam, such that the beams are scanned across the substrate in a predetermined scanning direction. A projection system is positioned so that each beam is scanned along a respective track. The tracks overlap so that each track comprises a first portion that is scanned by one beam and a second portion that overlaps the adjacent track and is scanned by two beams. Because a maximum intensity of a part of each beam directed towards the first portion of the track is greater than a maximum intensity of a part of that beam directed towards the second portion of the track, the first and second portions are exposed to radiation of substantially the same maximum intensity. Such overlapping of adjacent beams and modulation of the intensity of the beams can allow the optical footprints of different optical columns to be seamed together to enable exposure of large area substrates in a single scan.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for optical position evaluation, having an illumination system for supplying a positioning beam of radiation to derive position data from reflection of the positioning beam, and also to provide its method. SOLUTION: A substrate is supported on a substrate table, and the positioning beam is projected to a target area of the substrate by means of a projection system. A positioning system causes relative motion between the substrate and the projection system. An array of lenses is arranged and structured so that respective lenses of the array focus individual parts of the positioning beam to individual parts of the target area. In an array of detectors, respective detectors in the array detect light reflected from the substrate through the individual lenses of the array, and provide outputs expressing the intensity of light reflected through the individual lens from the substrate. A processor is connected to an output of the detector to derive data exhibiting the position of the lens array for the substrate from the output of the detector. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography apparatus and a method for exposing a large-area substrate in a single scan. SOLUTION: An illumination system supplies beams that are patterned by an array of individually controllable elements. The patterned beams are projected through arrays of lenses onto target portions of a substrate. Each lens in the arrays directs a respective part of the patterned beam towards the substrate. A displacement system causes relative displacement between the substrate and the beam, such that the beams are scanned across the substrate in a predetermined scanning direction. The projection systems are positioned so that each beam is scanned along a respective one of tracks on the substrate. Each track comprises a first portion scanned by one beam and a second portion overlapping an adjacent track and scanned by two beams. As a maximum intensity of each beam directed towards the first portion of the track is greater than a maximum intensity of the beam directed towards the second portion, the first and second portions are exposed to radiation of substantially the same maximum intensity. Overlapping of adjacent beams and modulation of the intensity of beams as above described can allow the optical footprints of different optical columns to be seamed together to achieve exposure of a large-area substrate in a single scan.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simply structured system that uniforms strengths of radiation beams actually projected on a board in the case that a plurality of separately controllable arrays of elements are used as a patterning means for the radiation beams generated by a lithogrphy projection aligner and the radiation beams are distributed among the arrays from a plurality of radiation sources and/or via a plurality of radiation distribution channels.
    SOLUTION: By the lithography projection aligner, the radiation beams 6 from a lighting system 5 are distributed among the arrays, by using a distributor 7 via the radiation distribution channels or to an optical engine 8 including individual arrays and a projection system. The strengths of the radiation beams related to each array are measured by a detector 20 moving on the back or front of the arrays. Measurement given by the detector 20 is fed back to compensate the loss of the radiation beams to uniform the strengths of the radiation beams projected on the board 9.
