Abstract: A modular autoencoder model is described. The modular autoencoder model comprises input models configured to process one or more inputs to a first level of dimensionality suitable for combination with other inputs; a common model configured to: reduce a dimensionality of combined processed inputs to generate low dimensional data in a latent space; and expand the low dimensional data in the latent space into one or more expanded versions of the one or more inputs suitable for generating one or more different outputs; output models configured to use the one or more expanded versions of the one or more inputs to generate the one or more different outputs, the one or more different outputs being approximations of the one or more inputs; and a prediction model configured to estimate one or more parameters based on the low dimensional data in the latent space.

Abstract: There is provided a charged particle apparatus comprising: a particle beam generator, optics, a first and a second positioning device, both configured for positioning the substrate relative to the particle beam generator along its optical axis, and a controller configured for switching between a first operational mode and a second operational mode. The apparatus is configured, when operating in the first operational mode, for irradiating the substrate by the particle beam at a first landing energy of the particle beam and, when operating in the second operational mode, for irradiating the substrate at a second, different landing energy. When operating in the first operational mode, the second positioning device is configured to position the substrate relative to the particle beam generator at a first focus position of the particle beam and in the second operational mode, to position the substrate at a second, different focus position.

Abstract: A method includes irradiating a target structure with sequential illumination shots, directing scattered beams from the target structure towards an imaging detector, generating a detection signal using the imaging detector, and determining a property of the target structure based on at least the detection signal. An integration time for each illumination shot of the sequential illumination shots is selected so to reduce a low frequency error.

Abstract: An interferometer head is disclosed. A first portion of an input radiation beam is incident on a first partially-reflective surface and reflected from a first reference surface towards a first output terminal. A second portion of the input radiation beam is incident on a second partially-reflective surface and reflected from a second reference surface towards a second output terminal. A third portion of the input radiation beam is transmitted towards a measurement surface. A first portion of a reflected beam from the measurement surface is reflected from the second partially-reflective surface towards the second output terminal. A second portion of the reflected beam from the measurement surface is reflected from the first partially-reflective surface towards the first output terminal. An offset angle is implemented between a first output radiation beam from the first output terminal and a second output radiation beam from the second output terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed is method of determining at least one homogeneity metric describing homogeneity of an etched trench on a substrate formed by a lithographic manufacturing process. The method comprises obtaining one or more images of the etched trench, wherein each of said one or more images comprises a spatial representation of one or more parameters of scattered radiation as detected by a detector or camera following scattering and/or diffraction from the etched trench; and measuring homogeneity along the length of the etched trench on said one or more images to determine said at least one homogeneity metric.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of metrology. The method comprises measuring at least one surrounding observable parameter relating to a surrounding signal contribution to a metrology signal which comprises a contribution to said metrology signal which is not attributable to at least one target being measured and determining a correction from said surrounding signal observable parameter. The correction is used to correct first measurement data relating to measurement of one or more targets using measurement radiation forming a measurement spot on one or more of said one or more targets which is larger than one of said targets.
