    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 provide an instrument and process that can reduce or correct the contribution of the strains or defects of a mask pattern to the strain of an exposure pattern.
    SOLUTION: In the instrument for determining the process parameter of a process for generating an overlay pattern on a substrate, by applying a process model to a proposed process parameter and data, including a deduced overlay error between overlay patterns, the proposed overlay error corresponds to a process control, depending on the proposed value of the process parameter. Thus, the value determined for the process parameter corresponds to the minimum overlay error. The instrument determines the first value of the process parameter that generates the first portion of the overlay pattern in the first section of a target field, and a second value that is different from the first value of the process parameter for generating one of the second portion of the overlay pattern.

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam, a support for a patterning device, a substrate table for a substrate, a projection system, and a control system. The patterning device is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. The projection system is configured to project the patterned radiation beam as an image onto a target portion of the substrate along a scan path. The scan path is defined by a trajectory in a scanning direction of an exposure field of the lithographic apparatus. The control system is coupled to the support, the substrate table and the projection system for controlling an action of the support, the substrate table and the projection system, respectively. The control system is configured to correct a local distortion of the image in a region along the scan path by a temporal adjustment of the image in that region, hereby reducing the intra-field overlay errors.
