Abstract:
In a method of measuring asymmetry in a scatterometer, a target portion is illuminated twice, first with 0° of substrate rotation and secondly with 180° of substrate rotation. One of those images is rotated and then that rotated image is subtracted from the other image. In this way, asymmetry of the scatterometer can be corrected.
