Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for updating subscription information. The method includes steps described below. After a second NF transfers first subscription information to a third NF, where the first subscription information includes a first correlation identity allocated by the second NF to a first NF, the third NF allocates a second correlation identity to the first NF, and the third NF receives update subscription information of the first NF, where the update subscription information includes the second correlation identity. By using the above scheme, the issue of the lack of an update scheme of the subscription information adaptable a new system in the related art is resolved, and the update scheme of the subscription information adaptable the new system is proposed, for example, when across-NF registration of the user terminal is generated, the subscription message is updated between the new third NF and the first NF in time.

Abstract: A reticle is pre-heated prior to an exposure operation of a semiconductor substrate lot to reduce substrate to substrate temperature variations of the reticle in the exposure operation. The reticle may be pre-heated while being stored in a reticle storage slot, while being transferred from the reticle storage slot to a reticle stage of an exposure tool, and/or in another location prior to being secured to the reticle stage for the exposure operation. In this way, the reduction in temperature variation of the reticle in the exposure operation provided by pre-heating the reticle may reduce overlay deltas and misalignment for the semiconductor substrates that are processed in the exposure operation. This increases overlay performance, increases yield of the exposure tool, and increases semiconductor device quality.
