Abstract: A method of determining an overlay error. Measuring an overlay target having process-induced asymmetry. Constructing a model of the target. Modifying the model, e.g., by moving one of the structures to compensate for the asymmetry. Calculating an asymmetry-induced overlay error using the modified model. Determining an overlay error in a production target by subtracting the asymmetry-induced overlay error from a measured overlay error. In one example, the model is modified by varying asymmetry p(n′), p(n″) and the calculating an asymmetry-induced overlay error is repeated for a plurality of scatterometer measurement recipes and the step of determining an overlay error in a production target uses the calculated asymmetry-induced overlay errors to select an optimum scatterometer measurement recipe used to measure the production target.

Abstract: A mark used in the determination of overlay error comprises sub-features, the sub-features having a smallest pitch approximately equal to the smallest pitch of the product features. The sensitivity to distortions and aberrations is similar as that for the product features. When the mark is developed the sub-features merge and the outline of the larger feature is developed.

Abstract: A lithographic process is used to form a plurality of target structures distributed at a plurality of locations across a substrate and having overlaid periodic structures with a number of different overlay bias values distributed across the target structures. At least some of the target structures comprising a number of overlaid periodic structures (e.g., gratings) that is fewer than said number of different overlay bias values. Asymmetry measurements are obtained for the target structures. The detected asymmetries are used to determine parameters of a lithographic process. Overlay model parameters including translation, magnification and rotation, can be calculated while correcting the effect of bottom grating asymmetry, and using a multi-parameter model of overlay error across the substrate.

Abstract: A method of determining an overlay error in a set of superimposed patterns. The patterns are divided into two and a first part of the pattern has a bias of d+s/2 between the first layer and second layer. A second part of the pattern has a bias of d−s/2 between the first and second layer. The two parts of the pattern are of equal size. To eliminate a particular harmonic s is chosen to be T/(2n) where T is the period of the pattern and n is a positive integer.
