Abstract: Diffraction gratings for a phase-stepping measurement system for determining an aberration map for a projection system are disclosed. The gratings are two-dimensional diffraction gratings for use as wafer level gratings in an EUV lithographic apparatus. In particular, the diffraction gratings comprise a substrate provided with a two-dimensional array of circular through-apertures (51) and are self-supporting. In some embodiments, a ratio of the radius of the circular apertures to the distance between the centres of adjacent apertures may be selected to minimize the gain and cross-talk errors of a wavefront reconstruction algorithm. For example, the ratio may be between 0,34 and 0,38. In some embodiments, the circular apertures are distributed such that a distance between the centres of adjacent apertures is non-uniform and varies across the diffraction grating. For example, a local pitch of the grating may vary randomly across the diffraction grating.

Abstract: An optical measurement method using an optical sensor apparatus (15), the optical sensor apparatus comprising an optical element (20) comprising a mark (22) configured to selectively transmit incident radiation (24), a photodetector (26) configured to receive radiation transmitted by the mark and provide an output signal that is indicative of the received radiation, and a support (30) which supports the optical element and is in thermal contact with the optical element. A thermal conductivity of the support is greater than a thermal conductivity of the optical element and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the support is greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the optical element. The method comprises performing a first measurement using the optical sensor apparatus, the first measurement including illuminating the mark with radiation. The temperature of the optical element changes during the first measurement. The temperature of the support is substantially constant throughout the first measurement.
