  • Patent number: 9304401
    Abstract: A radiation spot measurement system for a lithographic apparatus, the system having a target onto which a radiation system of the lithographic apparatus may project spots of radiation for a measurement process, the target having a measurement target. The system further includes a radiation detector to detect radiation from one of the spots, and a controller to receive information from the radiation detector and to determine the position of the spot of radiation relative to an intended position of the spot of radiation.

  • Patent number: 7181296
    Abstract: By applying time-frequency analysis to a given standard iterative learning control or ILC an adaptive filter for the learned feed-forward loop is designed. This time varying filter varies according to the momentary frequency content of the error signal and allows to discriminate between areas of deterministic and stochastic error. Its application results in selective application of ILC to those intervals where error signals of high level are concentrated and allows application of a single ILC acquisition to different setpoint trajectories. The adaptive filter finds particular use in lithographic scanning systems where it is used for varying scan length.
