    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve coarse alignment accuracy of a substrate.
    SOLUTION: In a method for alignment of a substrate, the substrate includes a mark in a scribe lane, and the scribe lane extends along a longitudinal direction as a first direction. The mark has a periodic structure in the first direction. The method includes: providing an illumination beam for scanning the mark in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the mark's periodic structure along a first scan path across the mark; and scanning the spot of the illumination beam along a second scan path across the mark, wherein the second scan path is parallel to the first scan path, and the second scan path is shifted relative to the first scan path over a first shift that corresponds to a fraction of the repeating distance of the periodic structure.
