Abstract:
A device for determining alignment errors of structures which are present on, or which have been applied to a substrate, comprising a substrate holder for accommodating the substrate with the structures and detection means for detecting X-Y positions of first markings on the substrate and/or second markings on the structures by moving the substrate or the detection means in a first coordinate system, wherein in a second coordinate system which is independent of the first coordinate system X′-Y′ structure positions for the structures are given whose respective distance from the X-Y positions of the first markings and/or second markings can be determined by the device.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for determining differences between X-Y positions of markings that are present on a substrate and ideal X\u2032-Y\u2032 positions, the device, the method comprising:\n fixing the substrate on a substrate holder; \n detecting, using a detection means, the X-Y positions of the markings on the substrate in the first coordinate system; \n defining, using a computer, a second coordinate system in which the ideal X\u2032-Y\u2032 positions of the markings are given, the second coordinate system being independent of the first coordinate system; \n generating and storing, using the computer, the ideal X\u2032-Y\u2032 positions of the markings in the second coordinate system; and \n determining, using the computer, respective distances between the ideal X\u2032-Y\u2032 positions for the markings and the detected X-Y positions of the markings that respectively correspond with the ideal X\u2032-Y\u2032 positions of the markings, \n wherein the substrate holder is one of fixed and configured to move the substrate in an X and Y direction in the first coordinate system for positioning the substrate relative to the detection means; and \n wherein the detection means is one of fixed and configured to move in the X and Y direction relative to the first coordinate system.
