Patent ID: 7385675

Claim:
A lithographic apparatus, comprising: an illumination system for supplying a beam of radiation; a patterning device that patterns the beam; a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target portion of a substrate, the patterning device and the projection system being arranged to expose the full width of the substrate, such that the substrate is inspected and exposed in a single pass of the substrate relative to the apparatus; a detector configured to detect functional features formed on the substrate from previous patterns for a plurality of portions of the substrate across a full width of the substrate while the substrate is in a position for the projection system to project the patterned beam onto the substrate, the detector configured to generate information therefrom; and a controller configured to adjust at least one of a position of a pattern projected onto the substrate relative to the substrate, a magnification of the pattern projected onto the substrate, and a focus image plane in response to the information from the detector.
