Abstract

A metrology tool that includes a substrate table to hold a substrate; a projection system configured to project a beam on a target portion of the substrate; an actuator configured to adjust a position of the projection system relative to the substrate on the substrate table; a sensor configured to determine a position of the substrate table; and a one or more processors configured to: determine, based on the position of the substrate table, a position error of the substrate table with respect to a reference; and control, via the actuator, a position of the projection system to compensate for the position error of the substrate table so that the beam projects on the target portion of the substrate.
