Abstract: A method of metrology target design is described. The method includes determining a sensitivity of a parameter of a metrology target design to a perturbation of a process parameter for forming, or measuring the formation of, the metrology target, and determining a robustness of the metrology target design based on the sum of the sensitivity multiplied by the perturbation of at least one of the process parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically generating robust metrology targets which can accommodate a variety of lithography processes and process perturbations. Individual steps of an overall lithography process are modeled into a single process sequence to simulate the physical substrate processing. That process sequence drives the creation of a three-dimensional device geometry as a whole, rather than “building” the device geometry element-by-element.

Abstract: A method of image template matching for multiple process layers of, for example, semiconductor substrate with an adaptive weight map is described. An image template is provided with a weight map, which is adaptively updated based during template matching based on the position of the image template on the image. A method of template matching a grouped pattern or artifacts in a composed template is described, wherein the pattern comprises deemphasized areas weighted less than the image templates. A method of generating an image template based on a synthetic image is described. The synthetic image can be generated based on process and image modeling. A method of selecting a grouped pattern or artifacts and generating a composed template is described. A method of per layer image template matching is described.

Abstract: A method of metrology target design is described. The method includes determining a sensitivity of a parameter for a metrology target design to an optical aberration, determining the parameter for a product design exposed using an optical system of a lithographic apparatus, and determining an impact on the parameter of the metrology target design based on the parameter for the product design and the product of the sensitivity and one or more of the respective aberrations of the optical system.
