    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a calibration method for a lithographic projection apparatus that is not substantially affected by temperature variations thereof, and a calibration substrate used for the calibration. SOLUTION: The calibration substrate includes a first substantially flat surface, a second substantially flat surface that is substantially parallel to the first surface, and an edge that connects the first surface to the second surface. The calibration substrate is made of a material having a small thermal expansion coefficient of, for example less than about 1.0×10 -6 K -1 , to reduce deformation thereof due to temperature variations of the substrate. The method for the calibration includes imaging a marker provided on a patterning device onto a target position of the calibration substrate with a beam of radiation, measuring a property of the image of the marker on the calibration substrate, determining any error between the measured property and an expected property based on the marker and operating parameters of the apparatus, and adjusting at least one of the operating parameters of the apparatus to correct the error.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of an overlay error by substrate cooling action connected with the vaporization of high refractive index liquid which exists on a substrate. SOLUTION: In the calibration of overlay property, position error data of a first set is obtained by carrying out the exposure of a first substrate (S1) during a first test exposure sequence using a test structure of the first set and measuring the test structure (S2). Then, the identical substrate (S3) is exposed to the test structure of a second set identical to the first set during a second test exposure sequence using a second course which is equivalent to the first course but in which movement is caused in a reverse direction state. The error data of the second set is obtained by measuring the structure of the second set (S4). Influence by wafer cooling can be removed by using these two data sets. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide lithography equipment and a device manufacturing method.
    SOLUTION: Lithography equipment has a substrate support formed such that it supports a substrate, and a projection system formed such that it projects a patterned radiation beam to a target part of the substrate. The substrate support is operated such that the substrate is moved along a specified path of the target part as the next target of the substrate. The substrate support has a duct fabric for thermally stabilizing the substrate. This duct fabric supplies a thermal stabilization medium to the substrate through the duct, and removes the thermal stabilization medium virtually using the duct from a portion of the substrate support that supports the target part via the substrate support part that supports the target part preceding the substrate, thereby maintaining the target part as a next target thermally stably.

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a substrate support (2) that is constructed to support a substrate (6), and a projection system (4) that is configured to project a patterned radiation beam (5) onto a target portion of the substrate. The substrate support is arranged to move the substrate along a predetermined trajectory (7) of subsequently targeted target portions of the substrate. The substrate support includes a duct configuration (1) for providing thermal stabilization to the substrate. The duct configuration is arranged to duct thermally stabilizing media in the support, and to substantially duct the media away from a part of the substrate support that supports the target portion via parts of the substrate support that support previously targeted portions of the substrate, so as to keep subsequently targeted target portions thermally stable.
