Abstract: A metrology apparatus is disclosed that measures a structure formed on a substrate to determine a parameter of interest. The apparatus comprises an optical system configured to focus radiation onto the structure and direct radiation after reflection from the structure onto a detector, wherein: the optical system is configured such that the detector detects a radiation intensity resulting from interference between radiation from at least two different points in a pupil plane field distribution, wherein the interference is such that a component of the detected radiation intensity containing information about the parameter of interest is enhanced relative to one or more other components of the detected radiation intensity.

Abstract: A metrology apparatus is disclosed that comprises an optical system to focus radiation onto the structure and direct reflected radiation from the structure to a detection system. The optical system applies a plurality of different offsets of an optical characteristic to radiation before and/or after reflection from the structure, such that a corresponding plurality of different offsets are provided to reflected radiation derived from a first point of a pupil plane field distribution relative to reflected radiation derived from a second point of the pupil plane field distribution. The detection system detects a corresponding plurality of radiation intensities resulting from interference between the reflected radiation derived from the first point of the pupil plane field distribution and the reflected radiation derived from the second point of the pupil plane field distribution. Each radiation intensity corresponds to a different one of said plurality of different offsets.
