Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining a sampling scheme, which method comprises: - obtaining a first fingerprint model relating to a first spatial distribution of a performance parameter over a first portion of a semiconductor substrate and a second fingerprint model relating to a second spatial distribution of said performance parameter over a second portion of the semiconductor substrate; and - determining a sampling point corresponding to a measuring location on the semiconductor substrate for generating measurement data based on an expected reduction of a first uncertainty metric associated with evaluation of the first fingerprint model over the first portion and an expected reduction of a second uncertainty metric associated with evaluation of the second fingerprint model over the second portion.

Abstract: A method for determining a layout of mark positions across a patterning device or substrate, the method comprising: a) obtaining (502) a model configured to model data associated with measurements performed on the patterning device or substrate at one or more mark positions; b) obtaining (504) an initial mark layout (506) comprising initial mark positions; c) reducing (508) the initial mark layout by removal of one or more mark positions to obtain a plurality of reduced mark layouts (510), each reduced mark layout obtained by removal of a different mark position from the initial mark layout; d) determining (512) a model uncertainty metric associated with usage of the model for each reduced mark layout out of said plurality of reduced mark layouts; and e) selecting (514) one or more reduced mark layouts (516) based on its associated model uncertainty metric.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of obtaining a fingerprint model for modelling a spatial distribution of a performance parameter over a portion of a substrate, the method comprising: defining an initial fingerprint model related to the spatial distribution of the performance parameter over the portion as a parameterized combination of basis functions; determining parameter values for the parameterized combination of basis functions based on pre-knowledge, and determining the fingerprint model for modelling the spatial distribution of the performance parameter over the portion of the substrate, based on a measurement set representing the performance parameter over the portion of a set of one or more semiconductor substrates and the initial fingerprint model, whereby a ratio of at least two parameter values of the basis functions as determined in the initial fingerprint model is kept constant or at least part of the shape of the initial fingerprint model is maintained in the fingerprint model.
