Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate arranging method having improved arrangement accuracy relative to known ones until now; a substrate transferring method; and a transferring system. SOLUTION: This invention is related to a method of arranging a substrate on a surface of a substrate holder provided with a plurality of bars. In this method, substrate arrangement data for allowing the substrate to be arranged at a specific position with respect to the positions of the plurality of bars located on a surface of the substrate holder are first calculated. Then, the substrate is arranged at the specific position in accordance with the substrate arrangement data. The specific position is based on an arrangement position to minimize an overlay error or based on an arrangement position to minimize deformation of the substrate. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
