Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a correction for control of a lithographic process for exposing a pattern on an exposure field using a lithographic apparatus. The method comprises obtaining a spatial profile describing spatial variation of a performance parameter across at least a portion of the exposure field and co-determining control profiles for the spatial profile to minimize error in the performance parameter while ensuring a minimum contrast quality. The co-determined control profiles comprise at least a stage control profile for control of a stage arrangement of the lithographic apparatus and a lens manipulator control profile for control of a lens manipulator of the lithographic apparatus operable to perform a correction for at least magnification in a direction perpendicular to the substrate plane.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lithographic apparatus and associated method of controlling a lithographic process. The lithographic apparatus comprises a controller configured to define a control grid associated with positioning of a substrate within the lithographic apparatus. The control grid is based on a device layout, associated with a patterning device, defining a device pattern which is to be, and/or has been, applied to the substrate in a lithographic process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a scanning exposure apparatus configured for scanning an illumination profile over a substrate to form functional areas thereon. The method comprises determining a control profile for dynamic control of the illumination profile during exposure of an exposure field comprising the functional areas, in a scanning exposure operation; and optimizing a quality of exposure of individual functional areas. The optimizing may comprise a) extending the control profile beyond the extent of the exposure field in the scanning direction; and/or b) applying a deconvolution scheme to the control profile, wherein the structure of the deconvolution scheme is based on a dimension of the illumination profile in the scanning direction.
