Abstract: A method of determining a correction strategy in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The method can include obtaining functional indicator data relating to functional indicators associated with one or more process parameters of each of a plurality of different control regimes of the semiconductor manufacturing process and/or a tool associated with the semiconductor manufacturing process and using the functional indicator data as an input to a trained model to determine for which of the control regimes should a correction be determined so as to improve performance of the semiconductor manufacturing process according to at least one quality metric being representative of a quality of the semiconductor manufacturing process. The correction is then calculated for the determined control regime(s).

Abstract: Disclosed is an illumination system for delivering incoherent radiation to a metrology sensor system. Also disclosed is an associated metrology system and method. The illumination system comprises a spatial filter system for selective spatial filtering of a beam of said incoherent radiation outside of a module housing of the metrology sensor system. At least one optical guide is provided for guiding the spatially filtered beam of incoherent radiation to the metrology sensor system, the at least one optical guide being such that the radiation guided has a substantially similar output angle as input angle.

Abstract: A mounted hollow-core fiber arrangement includes a hollow-core fiber having a microstructure, and a mount arrangement including a plurality of mounting contacts configured to apply a force to an outer layer of the hollow-core fiber. A portion of the hollow-core fiber is located in a receiving region of the mount arrangement. The plurality of mounting contacts are positioned around the receiving region. The mounting contacts are distributed around the receiving region, the distribution of the mounting contacts corresponding to a distribution of features of the microstructure of the hollow-core fiber. The mounted hollow core fiber can be used in a radiation source apparatus for providing broadband radiation.

Abstract: A lithographic system comprises a radiation source and a lithographic apparatus. The radiation source provides radiation to the lithographic apparatus. The lithographic apparatus uses the radiation for imaging a pattern onto multiple target areas on a layer of photo-resist on a semiconductor substrate. The imaging requires a pre-determined dose of radiation. The system is controlled so as to set a level of a power of the radiation in dependence on a magnitude of the pre-determined dose.
