Abstract
A device manufacturing method including: performing a first exposure on a substrate using a first lithographic apparatus to form a first patterned layer including first features; processing the substrate to transfer the first features into the substrate; and performing a second exposure on the substrate using a second lithographic apparatus to form a second patterned layer including second features, wherein: the first lithographic apparatus has first and second control inputs effective to control first and second parameters of the first features at least partly independently; the second lithographic apparatus has a third control input effective to control the first and second parameters of the second features together; and the first exposure is performed with the first and/or second control input set to pre-bias the first and/or second parameter.
