Abstract:
A method at tuning a lithographic process for a particular patterning device. The method includes: obtaining wavefront data relating to an objective lens of a lithographic apparatus, the wavefront data measured subsequent to an exposure of a pattern on a substrate using the particular patterning device; determining a pattern specific wavefront contribution from the wavefront data and a wavefront reference, the pattern specific wavefront contribution relating to the patterning device; and tuning the lithographic process for the particular patterning device using the pattern specific wavefront contribution.
