Similarly, the first device can be used to accurately position light = MA relative to the path of the beam PB after mechanical removal from a mask group, such as reticle MA, or during a scan. In general, the movement of the object table tops MT, WT will be cut by a long % component (coarse positioning) and a short stroke component (fine positioning), which are not explicitly shown in FIG.

An optical system is implanted in the wafer table WT to provide optical access to wafer marks WM1, WM2 on the back side of the wafer w. The optical system includes a pair of arms 1 〇 A, 1 〇 B. The female arm comprises two mirrors 12, 14 and two lenses 16, 18. The mirrors 1 2, 14 in each arm are inclined such that the sum of the angles with the horizontal is 90 degrees.

Description of invention (10). The images 20A, 20B of a wafer mark WM1, WM2 act like a virtual wafer mark, which can be substantially the same as the real wafer mark disposed on the front (top) side of the wafer W by the pre-stored calibration system (not shown) 'Used for school and standard. As shown in Figure 2, the arms of optical systems 10A, 10B produce images 20A, 20B that are displaced to the side of wafer W so that they can be seen by a calibration system above wafer w. Figures 3 and 4 show two of the optical system i〇A, 10B arms = good orientation, which is a plan view of the wafer placed in the XY plane. The crystal is concise and omitted from Figures 3 and 4. In Fig. 3, the arms of the optical system 1A, 〆 10B are aligned along the X axis. In Fig. 4, the arms of the optical system 1 〇Α, 1 〇 β are parallel to the γ axis. In both cases, the wafer marks WM1, WM2 sit on the X-axis. Wafer marks WM1, WM2 are placed on the bottom side of the wafer W, which is inverted from the top side of the wafer W. However, the arrangement of the lenses on the arms of the optical system means that the images of the wafer marks WM1 and WM2 are restored to the correct mode instead of being inverted, so that the images 20 A, 2 0 B are exactly the same as they are placed on the wafer. The top side of w. The optical system is also arranged such that the wafer mark, the volume ratio of WM2 to its image is 1:1, that is, there is no enlargement or reduction. Therefore, the images 20A, 20B can be used as if they were real wafer marks on the front side of the wafer w. A general calibration pattern or chain that is placed on the reticle can be used to perform calibration with true and false wafer standards. In the case of the consumables, the wafer marks are simultaneously disposed at the corresponding positions on the front and back sides of the wafer w as shown in FIG. In Figures 3 and 4, only the wafer marks on the back side of the wafer W are shown for the sake of brevity. According to this combination, when the wafer is defective? By 1294068

It is also understood that due to the mirror arrangement, the displacement of the wafer in the direction of the parallel optical system arm 1〇W〇B will shift the wafer mark WM1 and the dragon 2 in the opposite direction on the bottom side of the wafer. The image is 20Α, 20Β. For example, in Figure 3, if the wafer W is shifted to the right, the images 2〇Α, 2〇Β will be shifted to the left. The software that controls the %c barebone system considers when to determine the position of the wafer mark i, WM2, and when to adjust the position of the wafer boundary and the reticle when performing calibration. If the two arms of the optical system 1 〇A, 10 0B are symmetrical, then when the wafer is displaced, the separation between the images 20A and 2〇B will in fact remain at least two sides of the wafer W side. Wafer logo. A single mark can be provided!! The relative position of the image on a specific point on the wafer at a specific point on the mask. However, to ensure proper orientation calibration and amplification, at least two markers are used.

As shown in Fig. 5, the mirror faces 1 2, 14 of the optical system arm are not configured as a separate member, which is integrally formed with the wafer table WT. A suitable front side is machined into the wafer table WT, which in turn can be configured with a coating to improve reflection and form mirrors 丨2, 丨4. The optical system is made of a material such as zer〇dUre that is identical to the wafer deck. Direct thermal insulation has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, thus ensuring high calibration accuracy.

The fiber and lens are used to provide an image 20A, 20B of wafer marks WM1, WM2 on the back side of the wafer W. The image 2 0 A, 2 0 B is placed on the same plane as the wafer front side W Μ 3, W Μ 4 on the front side of the wafer W. Figures 7 and 8 show another aspect of the calibration system. In Fig. 7, a radiation source such as a laser light of HeNe laser light guides a calibration beam to a first beam splitter B S1, so that part of the light is directed downward into the wafer table | The arm 1a of the system is reflected off the first wafer mark WM1 on the back side of the wafer w, and forms an image 2〇A of the calibration mark. The light from the image 20A passes backward through the first beam splitter BS1, through a lens system PL, and then through a first mask·mark MM1 disposed on a mask to the first detector. The signal generated by the detector D1 can be used to determine the correct calibration between the first mask mark MM1 and the image 2 〇A. The relationship between the image ~ 20A and the wafer mark WM1 can be obtained from the optical member 1A, because this can determine the calibration between the first mask mark MM1 and the first wafer mark WM1. Wafer W and/or reticle MA can be moved relative to complete calibration. The calibration system of this target example is a through-lens (TTL) combination, so that the lens system PL between the cover MA and the wafer W is actually a projection lens for exposure light exposure. However, the calibration system is off-axis (〇A). In Figure 8, a second wafer labeled WM2 uses a second crying BS2 and other optical system arms 1 〇 β and - second reticle standard '
