摘要： A positioning system used, by way of example, for lithography, uses the position of the wafer stage as the trajectory command for the reticle fine stage control circuit. The reticle fine stage position is combined with the position of the wafer stage to generate a synchronous error. The reticle fine stage control circuit uses a Jacobian differential transformation to convert the synchronous error into an positional error for the center of gravity of the reticle fine stage. Thus, any inaccuracies due to measurement errors caused by rotation of reticle fine stage are avoided. A controller filter circuit uses the positional error for the center of gravity to calculate the force on the center of gravity that will minimize the synchronous error. The controller filter circuit includes saturation limited integration behavior that minimizes the settling time. A feedforward loop also generates a feedforward force, which reduces settling time, and is combined with the force signal from the controller filter. A force coordinate transformation circuit receives the summed forces and calculates the forces to be generated by the actuators connected to reticle fine stage that will drive reticle fine stage to the desired position to reduce the synchronous error.
摘要翻译：作为示例，用于光刻的定位系统使用晶片台的位置作为标线片精细级控制电路的轨迹指令。标线片精细位置与晶片台的位置相结合以产生同步误差。光栅精细级控制电路使用雅可比差分变换将同步误差转换为光罩精细级的重心的位置误差。因此，避免了由于光罩精细台的旋转引起的测量误差导致的任何不准确。控制器滤波器电路使用重心的位置误差来计算重心的力，这将使同步误差最小化。控制器滤波器电路包括使稳定时间最小化的饱和有限积分行为。前馈回路还产生一个前馈力，这减少了建立时间，并与来自控制器滤波器的力信号相结合。力坐标变换电路接收累加力并计算由连接到标线片精细台的致动器产生的力，该致动器能将光栅精细级驱动到所需位置以减小同步误差。

摘要： When an incident light is obliquely incident on an index scale, the optical path length of light A becomes longer than the optical path length of light B and an optical path length difference occurs, which causes a phase difference in both of the diffracted lights incident on a photodetection element. According to the phase difference, intensity of a photoelectric detection signal output from the photodetection element changes. That is, due to a periodic change in the incident angle of the incident light, the phase difference between light A and light B is modulated, and the interference signal becomes greatly modulated.

摘要： A scanning type exposure apparatus includes a mask stage position-measuring unite a substrate stage position-measuring unit, an arithmetic processing unit, and a control unit. The arithmetic processing unit multiplies results of measurement (WX, WY, W.theta.) by the substrate position-measuring unit by a conversion vector including components containing a magnification of a projection optical system and an angle of rotation between a mask and a substrate to determine a target vector quantity (RX*, RY*, R.theta.*) of a mask stage. An error vector is determined by subtracting, from the target vector quantity, results of measurement (RX, RY, R.theta.) by the mask stage position-measuring unit. The controller controls the mask stage so that the error vector becomes zero. The exposure apparatus includes correcting sections for correcting time lags in measurement by the respective position-measuring units. The arithmetic processing unit uses corrected positional information. The mask stage can accurately follow a substrate stage.
