    Abstract: An apparatus for receiving an input radiation beam at a beam receiving location and outputting from the beam receiving location one or more output radiation beams. The apparatus comprises: an optical element; and a movement mechanism. The optical element comprises a plurality of portions for receiving the input radiation beam. The movement mechanism is operable to move the plurality of portions so as selectively position each of the plurality of portions at the beam receiving location. When one of the plurality of portions is disposed in the beam receiving location it is configured to receive the input radiation beam and to scatter the input radiation beam so as to form the one or more output radiation beams. A direction of each of the one or more output radiation beams formed by each of the plurality of portions is substantially the same as a direction of a corresponding output radiation beam formed by each of the other portions. One or more properties of each of the plurality of portions differs from that of the other portions such that a power of at least one of the one or more output radiation beams formed by each of the plurality of portions is different to that of the corresponding output radiation beam formed by at least one of the other portions.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method. The method includes steps for obtaining (i) measurements of a parameter of the feature, (ii) data related to a process variable of a patterning process, (iii) a functional behavior of the parameter defined as a function of the process variable based on the measurements of the parameter and the data related to the process variable, (iv) measurements of a failure rate of the feature, and (v) a probability density function of the process variable for a setting of the process variable, converting the probability density function of the process variable to a probability density function of the parameter based on a conversion function, where the conversion function is determined based on the function of the process variable, and determining a parameter limit of the parameter based on the probability density function of the parameter and the measurements of the failure rate.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method for reducing apparatus performance variation. The method includes obtaining (i) a reference performance (e.g., CD) of a reference apparatus (e.g., a reference scanner), (ii) a set of initial leading degrees of freedom selected from a plurality of degrees of freedom of a plurality of pupil facet mirrors of an apparatus (e.g., to be matched scanner) that is selected to reproduce the reference performance, and (iii) exposure data related to one or more parameters (e.g., CD, overlay, focus, etc.) of the patterning process indicating a performance of the apparatus based on the set of initial leading degrees of freedom; and determining a matching pupil of the apparatus based on the set of initial leading degrees of freedom and the exposure data such that the matching pupil reduces a difference between the performance of the apparatus and the reference performance.

    Abstract: A method including: obtaining a value of a characteristic of a physical item instance of a physical system or object, using a non-probabilistic model; obtaining an attribute of a distribution of a residue of the non-probabilistic model with respect to an ensemble of physical item instances that is based on an attribute of a distribution of a residue of the non-probabilistic model with respect to at least one physical item instance corresponding to at least one physical item type of the ensemble; determining an attribute of a distribution of the characteristic based on the attribute of the distribution of the residue with respect to an ensemble of physical item instances and on the value of the characteristic of the physical item instance; and determining a probability that the physical item instance is out of specification, based on the attribute of the distribution of the characteristic.
