1. A lithography apparatus comprising:
- a projection system configured to project a radiation beam onto a substrate;
an alignment detector configured to inspect one or more patterned features on the substrate; and
a substrate table configured to support the substrate and move the substrate relative to the projection system and the alignment, detector;
wherein the alignment detector is further configured to inspect a full width of the substrate while the substrate is moved and before a portion of the full width is exposed to the radiation beam.

Abstract
A lithography apparatus includes a projection system configured to project a radiation beam onto a substrate, a detector configured to inspect the substrate, and a substrate table configured to support the substrate and move the substrate relative to the projection system and the detector. The detector is arranged to inspect a portion of the substrate while the substrate is moved and before the portion is exposed to the radiation beam.
