    Abstract: A method of metrology target design is described. The method includes determining a sensitivity of a parameter for a metrology target design to an optical aberration, determining a difference between an impact on the parameter for the metrology target design and an impact on the parameter for a product design exposed using an optical system of a lithographic apparatus based on the product of the sensitivity and the aberration of the optical system. The method further includes determining a sensitivity of a parameter for a metrology target design to each aberration of a plurality of aberrations and determining an impact on the parameter for the metrology target design based on the sum of the sensitivities multiplied by the respective aberrations of the optical system. The parameter may be overlay error, critical dimension and focus. The aberration may be different across the exposure slit but the sensitivity is substantially independent of the slit position.

    Abstract: A method of metrology target design is described. The method includes determining a sensitivity of a parameter of a metrology target design to a perturbation of a process parameter for forming, or measuring the formation of, the metrology target, and determining a robustness of the metrology target design based on the sum of the sensitivity multiplied by the perturbation of at least one of the process parameters.
