Abstract

An apparatus automatically for correcting tilt and focus errors of a wafer in a mask projection system for a plurality of subfields on the wafer which vary in position according to a known scheme. The tilt and focus of each subfield on the wafer is individually corrected by three axial actuators operating on the variable X and Y coordinates of the center of each subfield and its tilt and focus errors.
