Abstract: A system includes an imaging system, a spatial filter, and a detector. The system is configured to receive a plurality of diffraction orders. The spatial filter is configured to block one or more undesired diffraction orders of the plurality of diffraction orders and to pass one or more desired diffraction orders of the plurality of diffraction orders. The spatial filter includes one or more obscurations having an angular dependent radius that varies azimuthally. The detector is configured to receive and measure an intensity of the one or more desired diffraction orders. The spatial filter is motorized.

Abstract: A system includes an illumination system, an optical element, a switching element and a detector. The illumination system includes a broadband light source that generates a beam of radiation. The dispersive optical element receives the beam of radiation and generates a plurality of light beams having a narrower bandwidth than the broadband light source. The optical switch receives the plurality of light beams and transmits each one of the plurality of light beams to a respective one of a plurality of alignment sensor of a sensor array. The detector receives radiation returning from the sensor array and to generate a measurement signal based on the received radiation.

Abstract: An alignment sensor apparatus includes an illumination system, a first optical system, a second optical system, a detector system, and a processor. The illumination system is configured to transmit an illumination beam along an illumination path. The first optical system is configured to transmit the illumination beam toward a diffraction target on a substrate. The second optical system includes a first polarizing optic configured to separate and transmit an irradiance distribution. The detector system is configured to measure a center of gravity of the diffraction target based on the irradiance distribution outputted from a first polarization branch and a second polarization branch. The processor is configured to measure a shift in the center of gravity of the diffraction target caused by an asymmetry variation in the diffraction target and determine a sensor response function of the alignment sensor apparatus based on the center of gravity shift.

Abstract: A metrology system includes a radiation source configured to generate radiation, an optical element configured to direct the radiation toward a grating structure comprising a non-constant pitch, and a detector configured to receive radiation scattered by the grating structure and generate a measurement based on the received radiation. The metrology system is configured to generate a set of measurements corresponding to a set of locations on the grating structure along a direction of the non-constant pitch and determine a parameter of a lithographic process or a correction for the metrology system based on the set of measurements.
