摘要: Disclosed is an illumination arrangement for providing at least one radiation beam for use as an illumination beam and/or reference beam in a metrology device. The illumination arrangement comprises at least one radiation beam modifier module operable to receive source illumination and output a modified radiation beam comprising a first beam component and a second beam component. Each radiation beam modifier module comprises at least one path length varying arrangement for controllably varying the optical path length of at least one of said first beam component and said second beam component, such that said first beam component and second beam component of said modified radiation beam comprise a respective different optical path length.

摘要: A method of determining a parameter of interest of a structure comprising at least one first feature oriented along a first axis of a structure coordinate system and at least one second feature oriented along a second axis of the structure coordinate system. The method comprising: illuminating the first feature and the second feature with first illumination from a first direction oblique to said first axis and second axis, so as to generate first scattered radiation from the first feature and second scattered radiation from the second feature, detecting a first interference pattern formed by interference between a portion of the first scattered radiation and first reference illumination; detecting a second interference pattern formed by interference between a portion of the second scattered radiation and the first reference illumination; and determining the parameter of interest of the structure using the first interference pattern and the second interference pattern.

摘要: Disclosed is a method of determining an orthonormalized structure of interest reference image, the orthonormalized structure of interest reference image for applying to a measured image of the structure of interest to correct for the effect of crosstalk from at least one nuisance structure. The method comprises determining a structure of interest reference image based on knowledge of the structure of interest; determining at least one nuisance structure reference image based on knowledge of the at least one nuisance structure; and orthonormalizing the structure of interest reference image to the at least one nuisance reference image to obtain the orthonormalized structure of interest reference image.
