    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 a system and a method for determining the vibration modes relating to a lithographic apparatus and a measure of respective magnitudes thereof. SOLUTION: In the method, vibration-related information is determined by projecting an aerial image at an image position in a projection plane, by mapping the intensity of the aerial image into an image map wherein the image map includes values of coordinates of sampling locations and of the intensity sampled at the respective sampling locations, and by measuring the intensity of the aerial image received through a slot pattern. The method further comprises a step for determining the detection position of an inclined portion of the image map from the image map, a step for measuring the temporal intensity of the aerial image at the detection position of the inclined portion and measuring the relative position between the slot pattern and the image position, and a step for determining vibration-related information relating to the aerial image from the temporal intensity of the aerial image.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device manufacturing method that improves the yield.
    SOLUTION: Deformation of a substrate wafer is measured by comparing positions of a plurality of reference marks with values of a data base after their exposure and process step. For taking into consideration the measured deformation and the compared results in step S1, the development step of an exposure and development step S2 is controlled using the feedforward loop. Then, a position alignment measurement step S3 is performed, in which the alignment relationship between the continuing two layers deposited on the substrate W during consecutive cycles is measured. If the positional control of a latest layer with respect to its preceding layer is insufficient, the latest layer is removed and a new layer is deposited.
