Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining focus information relating to a lithographic process. The method includes illuminating a target, the target having alternating first and second structures, wherein the form of the second structures is focus dependent, while the form of the first structures does not have the same focus dependence as that of the second structures, and detecting radiation redirected by the target to obtain for that target an asymmetry measurement representing an overall asymmetry of the target, wherein the asymmetry measurement is indicative of focus of the beam forming the target. An associated mask for forming such a target, and a substrate having such a target.

Abstract: A method for generating an alignment signal that includes detecting local dimensional distortions of an alignment mark and generating the alignment signal based on the alignment mark. The alignment signal is weighted based on the local dimensional distortions of the alignment mark. Detecting the local dimensional distortions can include irradiating the alignment mark with radiation, the alignment mark including a geometric feature, and detecting one or more phase and/or amplitude shifts in reflected radiation from the geometric feature. The one or more phase and/or amplitude shifts correspond to the local dimensional distortions of the geometric feature. A parameter of the radiation, an alignment inspection location within the geometric feature, an alignment inspection location on a layer of a structure, and/or a radiation beam trajectory across the geometric feature may be determined based on the one or more detected phase and/or amplitude shifts.

Abstract: A method provides the steps of receiving an image from a metrology tool, determining individual units of said image and discriminating the units which provide accurate metrology values. The images are obtained by measuring the metrology target at multiple wavelengths. The discrimination between the units, when these units are pixels in said image, is based on calculating a degree of similarity between said units.
