Title:
ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/193985
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In alignment systems, there are cases where, for instance, alignment system-side failures, such as abnormal deformations of an apparatus, are superimposed. Furthermore, there are cases where a camera itself for alignment has failed. In conventional technologies, such alignment system-side obstructive factors and discrimination of a plurality of obstructive factors have not been considered. The present invention has an alignment unit that performs alignment with respect to a predetermined sample, an image pickup unit for obtaining an image of the sample, and a processing unit. The image pickup unit moves by means of the alignment unit, and obtains a first image and a second image having been obtained after the first image. The processing unit obtains a first positional shift trend on the basis of the first image and the second image, and determines whether there is an alignment abnormality or not on the basis of a change of the first positional shift trend.
