    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: 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 method for controlling a manufacturing process for manufacturing semiconductor devices, the method including: obtaining performance data indicative of the performance of the manufacturing process, the performance data including values for a performance parameter across a substrate subject to the manufacturing process; and determining a process correction for the manufacturing process based on the performance data and at least one control characteristic related to a dynamic behavior of one or more control parameters of the manufacturing process, wherein the determining is further based on an expected stability of the manufacturing process when applying the process correction.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to a measurement system for measuring displacement of a moveable object relative to a base in at least a first direction of measurement, the moveable object having at least one reference part that is moveable in a plane of movement relative to the base, the actual movements of the reference part being within an area of said plane of movement that is bounded by a closed contour having a shape. The measurement system comprises a sensor head that operatively communicates with a planar element. The sensor head is mounted onto the base and the planar element being mounted onto the reference part of the moveable object or the other way around, wherein the planar element has a shape that is essentially identical to the shape of the closed contour.
