Abstract: A metrology method relating to measurement of a structure on a substrate, the structure being subject to one or more asymmetric deviation. The method includes obtaining at least one intensity asymmetry value relating to the one or more asymmetric deviations, wherein the at least one intensity asymmetry value includes a metric related to a difference or imbalance between the respective intensities or amplitudes of at least two diffraction orders of radiation diffracted by the structure; determining at least one phase offset value corresponding to the one or more asymmetric deviations based on the at least one intensity asymmetry value; and determining one or more measurement corrections for the one or more asymmetric deviations from the at least one phase offset value.

Abstract: An acoustic scatterometer has an acoustic source operable to project acoustic radiation onto a periodic structure and formed on a substrate. An acoustic detector is operable to detect the −1st acoustic diffraction order diffracted by the periodic structure and while discriminating from specular reflection (0th order). Another acoustic detector is operable to detect the +1st acoustic diffraction order diffracted by the periodic structure, again while discriminating from the specular reflection (0th order). The acoustic source and acoustic detector may be piezo transducers. The angle of incidence of the projected acoustic radiation and location of the detectors and are arranged with respect to the periodic structure and such that the detection of the −1st and +1st acoustic diffraction orders and discriminates from the 0th order specular reflection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an multi-array lens configured in use to focus a plurality of beamlets of charged particles along a multi-beam path, wherein each lens in the array comprises: an entrance electrode; a focusing electrode and a support. The focusing electrode is down beam of the entrance electrode along a beamlet path and is configured to be at a potential different from the entrance electrode. The support is configured to support the focusing electrode relative to the entrance electrode. The focusing electrode and support are configured so that in operation the lens generates a rotationally symmetrical field around the beamlet path.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for determining alignment of a substrate in which a periodic alignment mark is illuminated with spatially coherent radiation which is then provided to a compact integrated optical device to create self images of the alignment mark which may be manipulated (e.g., mirrored, polarized) and combined to obtain information on the position of the mark and distortions within the mark. Also disclosed is a system for determining alignment of a substrate in which a periodic alignment mark is illuminated with spatially coherent radiation which is then provided to an optical fiber arrangement to obtain information such as the position of the mark and distortions within the mark.
