Abstract:
A measurement system to be used in a manufacturing line for micro-devices is provided independently from an exposure apparatus. The measurement system has measurement devices that each performs measurement processing on substrates (e.g., substrates that have gone through at least one processing but before being coated with a sensitive agent), and a carrying system for performing delivery of substrates to/from the measurement devices. The measurement devices include a first measurement device that acquires position information on a plurality of marks formed on a substrate under a setting of a first condition, and a second measurement device that acquires position information on a plurality of marks formed on another substrate (e.g., another substrate included in the same lot as the substrate on which acquiring position information is performed under the setting of the first condition in the first measurement device) under a setting of a first condition.

Claim (Index 85):
A substrate processing system, comprising:\n a first measurement system and a second measurement system structured from the measurement system according to  claim 82 ; and an exposure apparatus that has a substrate stage on which the substrate that has completed measurement of position information on the plurality of marks by at least one of the first measurement device and the second measurement device of the measurement system is mounted, and to the substrate mounted on the substrate stage, performs alignment measurement in which position information on a part of marks selected from a plurality of marks on the substrate is acquired and exposure in which the substrate is exposed with an energy beam, wherein acquiring position information on the plurality of marks performed in at least one of the first measurement device and the second measurement device that the first measurement system is equipped with is performed on a substrate that has gone through at least one processing of; cleaning, oxidation/diffusion, film deposition, etching, ion implantation, and CMP and is before coating of a sensitive agent for the next exposure, acquiring position information on the plurality of marks performed in at least one of the first measurement device and the second measurement device that the second measurement system is equipped with is performed on a substrate before etching processing, the substrate having been exposed by the exposure apparatus and has been developed, and acquiring position information on the plurality of marks for different substrates by each of the first measurement system and the second measurement system is performed concurrently with alignment measurement and exposure to different substrates by the exposure apparatus.
