    摘要: A method of measuring a property of a substrate includes generating a patterned mask configured to cause a radiation beam passing through the mask to acquire the pattern, simulating radiating the substrate with a patterned radiation beam that has been patterned using the mask to obtain a simulated pattern, determining at least one location of the simulated pattern that is prone to patterning errors, and irradiating the substrate with the patterned radiation beam using a lithographic process. The method also includes measuring an accuracy of at least one property of the at least one location of the pattern on the substrate that has been determined as being prone to patterning errors, and adjusting the lithographic process according to the measuring.

    摘要: Reconstruction of an object by which radiation is diffracted is disclosed. Specifically, the reconstruction includes: estimating the object shape; deriving a model diffraction pattern from the estimated shape; illuminating the object with radiation; detecting a diffraction pattern of radiation diffracted by the object; comparing the model diffraction pattern and the detected diffraction pattern; and determining the actual object shape from the difference between the model diffraction pattern and the detected diffraction pattern, wherein the model diffraction pattern is determined using Bloch Mode Expansion.
