    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic method and/or an assembly where aberration sensitivity can be determined.SOLUTION: There is provided a lithographic method of determining sensitivity of a property of a pattern feature to changes in optical aberrations of a lithographic apparatus used for providing a pattern feature. The method includes the steps of: controlling a configuration of the lithographic apparatus so as to establish a first aberration state; forming a first image of the pattern feature with the lithographic apparatus when the lithographic apparatus is in the first aberration state; measuring a property of the image; controlling a configuration of the lithographic apparatus so as to establish a second different aberration state; forming an image of the same pattern feature with the lithographic apparatus when the lithographic apparatus is in the second aberration state; measuring the same property of the image; and determining the sensitivity of the property of the pattern feature to the changes in the aberration state using the measurement value.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide, for example, a lithographic method which provides an improved throughput or availability compared with known lithographic methods.SOLUTION: Provided is a method of patterning substrates using a lithographic apparatus. The method comprises: providing a beam of radiation using an illumination system; using a patterning device to provide the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section; and using a projection system to project the patterned radiation beam onto target portions of a substrate lot. The method further comprises: performing radiation beam aberration measurement after projecting the patterned radiation beam onto a subset of the substrate lot; adjusting the projection system using results of the radiation beam aberration measurement; and then projecting the patterned radiation beam onto a further subset of the substrate lot.
