Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for processing information generated by an exposure apparatus which exposes a substrate to radiant energy with respect to each of a plurality of first shot regions on the substrate, at least one device being to be manufactured from each of the plurality of first shot regions, the information processing apparatus comprising: a collecting unit configured to collect, from the exposure apparatus, first information obtained by the exposure apparatus with respect to each of a plurality of first regions which form a first array defined on the substrate via an exposure of each of the plurality of first shot regions, each of the plurality of first regions being equal to or smaller than a corresponding one of the plurality of first shot regions; and a converting unit configured to convert at least a part of the collected first information into standardized information defined with respect to each of a plurality of standard regions which form a standard array for use in evaluation of the exposure apparatus or the substrate, wherein each of the plurality of first shot regions includes at least one of the first regions, and wherein each of the plurality of first regions corresponds to at least one of the plurality of standard regions.
