Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining a sampling control scheme and/or a processing control for substrates processed by a device. The method uses a fingerprint model and an evolution model to generate the control scheme. The fingerprint model is based on fingerprint data for a processing parameter of at least one substrate processed by a device, and the evolution model represents variation of the fingerprint data over time. The fingerprint model and the evolution model are analyzed and a control scheme is generated for the device using the analysis. The sampling control scheme provides an indication for where and when to take measurements on substrates processed by the device. The processing control scheme provides an indication for how to control the processing of the substrate. The present invention also provides a method of determining which of the multiple devices contributed to a fingerprint of a processing parameter.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented method of determining a placement metric relating to placement of one or more features on a substrate in a lithographic process. The method comprises obtaining setup data comprising placement error contributor data relating to a plurality of placement error contributor parameters and yield data representative of yield and defining a statistical model for predicting a yield metric, the statistical model being based on a placement metric, the placement metric being a function of said placement error contributor parameters, and associated model coefficients. The model coefficients are fitted based on said setup data; and the placement metric determined from said fitted model coefficients.

Abstract: A method for generating metrology sampling scheme for a patterning process, the method comprising: obtaining a parameter map of a parameter of a patterning process for a substrate; decomposing, by a hardware computer system, the parameter map to generate a fingerprint specific to an apparatus of the patterning process and/or a combination of apparatuses of the patterning process; and based on the fingerprint, generating, by the hardware computer system, a metrology sampling scheme for a subsequent substrate at the apparatus of the patterning process and/or the combination of apparatuses of the patterning process, wherein the sampling scheme is configured to distribute sampling points on the subsequent substrate so as to improve a metrology sampling density.

Abstract: A method for determining lithographic matching performance includes obtaining first monitoring data E1M, E3M, E4M from recurrent monitoring for stability control for the available EUV scanners EUV1, EUV3 and EUV4. For a DUV scanner, second monitoring data D2M, is similarly obtained from recurrent monitoring (DMW, MT, OV, SM) for stability control. The EUV monitoring data E1M, E3M, E4M are in a first layout. The DUV monitoring data D2M are in a second layout. A cross-platform overlay matching performance between the first lithographic apparatus and the second lithographic apparatus is determined based on the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data. This is done by reconstructing 900, 1000 at least one of the first and second monitoring data into a common layout E1S, E3S, E4S, D2S to allow comparison 802 of the first and second monitoring data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining an image-metric of features on a substrate, the method comprising: obtaining a first image of a plurality of features on a substrate; obtaining one or more further images of a corresponding plurality of features on the substrate, wherein at least one of the one or more further images is of a different layer of the substrate than the first image; generating aligned versions of the first and one or more further images by performing an alignment process on the first and one or more further images; and calculating an image-metric in dependence on a comparison of the features in the aligned version of the first image and the corresponding features in the aligned versions of the one or more further images.

Abstract: A device manufacturing method comprising: exposing a first substrate using a lithographic apparatus to form a patterned layer comprising first features; processing the first substrate to transfer the first features into the first substrate; determining displacements of the first features from their nominal positions in the first substrate; determining a correction to at least partly compensate for the displacements; and exposing a second substrate using a lithographic apparatus to form a patterned layer comprising the first features; wherein the correction is applied during the exposing the second substrate.
