    Abstract: A method for quantifying the effect of pupil function variations on a lithographic effect within a lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The method comprises: determining a discrete, two-dimensional sensitivity map in a pupil plane of the lithographic apparatus, wherein the lithographic effect is given by the inner product of said sensitivity map with a discrete, two-dimensional pupil function variation map of a radiation beam in the pupil plane. The pupil plane of a lithographic apparatus generally refers to the exit pupil of a projection system of the lithographic apparatus. Pupil function variations may comprise: relative phase variations within the pupil plane and/or relative intensity variations within the pupil plane.

    Abstract: A scanning exposure of a plurality of target regions on a substrate is performed such that an image of each of a plurality of markers is formed on each of the plurality of target regions. Each of the plurality of markers is of a form such that a property of the image of the marker is dependent on the contrast in a known manner. During the scanning exposure the substrate is moved in a scanning direction and at least one of: a difference between a rotation angle of the substrate and a rotation angle of a plane of best focus, about a first axis perpendicular to the scanning direction, a difference between a rotation angle of the substrate and a rotation angle of the plane of best focus about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and perpendicular to the scanning direction, and a speed of the substrate in the scanning direction relative to the plane of best focus, is selected to be different for the scanning exposures of at least two of the plurality of target regions. Next the property of the image of each of the plurality of markers is determined.

The radiation source assembly comprises a pump assembly configured to provide broadband input radiation. The pump assembly comprises a pump source configured to provide first radiation at a pump wavelength, and a broadband assembly configured to provide second radiation comprising a continuous wavelength range, wherein the first radiation and the second radiation form the broadband input radiation. The radiation source assembly further comprises an optical fibre configured to receive the broadband input radiation. The optical fibre comprises a core configured along at least a part of the length of the fibre to guide the received broadband input radiation during propagation through the fibre, so as to generate broadband radiation by spectral broadening to be output by the fibre.
