Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and associated apparatus of determining a performance parameter (e.g., overlay) of a target on a substrate, and an associated metrology apparatus. The method comprises estimating a set of narrowband measurement values from a set of wideband measurement values relating to the target and determining the performance parameter from said set of narrowband measurement values. The wideband measurement values relate to measurements of the target performed using wideband measurement radiation and may correspond to different central wavelengths. The narrowband measurement values may comprise an estimate of the measurement values which would be obtained from measurement of the target using narrowband measurement radiation having a bandwidth narrower than said wideband measurement radiation.
