Designs for a hybrid overlay target design that includes a target area with both an imaging-based target and a scatterometry-based target are disclosed. The imaging-based overlay target design can include side-by-side grating structure. A scatterometry-based overlay target design at a different location in the target area can include grating-over-grating structure. A method of measuring the hybrid overlay target design and a system with both an imaging optical system and a scatterometry system for measuring the hybrid overlay target design are also disclosed.
