Abstract: A method of determining an overlay value of a substrate, the method including: obtaining temperature data that includes data on measured temperature at one or more positions on a substrate table after a substrate has been loaded onto the substrate table; and determining an overlay value of the substrate in dependence on the obtained temperature data. There is further disclosed a method of determining a performance of a clamping by a substrate table using a determined overlay value.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, computer program and associated apparatuses for measuring a parameter of a lithographic process. The method comprising the steps of: obtaining first measurements comprising measurements of structural asymmetry relating to a plurality of first structures, each of said plurality of measurements of structural asymmetry corresponding to a different measurement combination of measurement radiation and a value for at least a first parameter; obtaining a plurality of second measurements of target asymmetry relating to a plurality of targets, each of said plurality of measurements of target asymmetry corresponding to one of said different measurement combinations, determining a relationship function describing the relationship between said first measurements and said second measurements, for each of said measurement combinations; determining, from said relationship function, a corrected overlay value, said corrected overlay value being corrected for structural contribution due to structural asymmetry in at least said first structure.
