    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arrangement configuration and a method for automatically selecting a substrate alignment mark on a substrate in lithography equipment and an overlay metering target in an overlay metering device. SOLUTION: A memory stores locations of one or a plurality of sets of substrate alignment marks or overlay metering targets available for selection and selection rules to select suitable substrate alignment marks or overlay metering targets from this at least one set. The selection rules are based on experimental or theoretical knowledge about which substrate alignment mark or overlay metering targets locations are optimal based on one or a plurality of selection criteria.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further reduce measurement overhead in a lithography process and, at the same time, to keep a performance advantage of higher-order correction.SOLUTION: A substrate is loaded on a substrate support of a lithography apparatus and thereafter, the apparatus measures positions of substrate alignment marks. These measurement values define first correction information, and the apparatus can give patterns to one or more desired positions on the substrate. In order to improve pattern positioning accuracy, in particular, in order to correct higher-order distortion of a nomina alignment grid, additional second correction information is used. The second correction information may also be information based on the position measurement of the alignment mark which is performed in giving the preceding pattern to the same substrate. Alternatively or additionally, the second correction information may also be information based on the measurement which is performed on a similar substrate patterned before the present substrate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for aligning a substrate in a lithographic apparatus. SOLUTION: The substrate includes a plurality of alignment marks. The alignment marks have been defined by a second lithographic apparatus LM2 and are arranged to provide a substrate grid as a coordinate system that includes a first and a second direction, substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The method includes steps of measuring a location and an orientation of the alignment marks to obtain alignment mark data, determining the substrate grid of the substrate from the alignment mark data by using a first substrate grid model with a first set of parameters, determining the substrate grid of the substrate from the alignment mark data by using a second substrate grid model with a second set of parameters including an ortho-scaling parameter in addition to the first set of parameters, and correcting machine-to-machine differences between the lithographic apparatus and the second lithographic apparatus LM2 with automated process control data based on the ortho-scaling parameter.
