Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus comprises an alignment system including a tunable narrow pass-band filter configured to receive a broad-band radiation and to filter the broad-band radiation into narrow-band linearly polarized radiation. The tunable narrow pass-band filter is further configured to modulate an intensity and wavelength of the narrow-band radiation and to provide a plurality of pass-band filters at a same time or nearly the same time. The alignment system further includes a relay and mechanical interface configured to receive the narrow-band radiation and to adjust a profile of the narrow-band radiation based on physical properties of alignment targets on a substrate. The adjusted narrow-band radiation is focused on the alignment targets using a focusing system.
