    Abstract: Metrology targets, production processes and optical systems are provided, which enable metrology of device-like targets. Supplementary structure(s) may be introduced in the target to interact optically with the bottom layer and/or with the top layer of the target and target cells configurations enable deriving measurements of device-characteristic features. For example, supplementary structure(s) may be designed to yield Moiré patterns with one or both layers, and metrology parameters may be derived from these patterns. Device production processes were adapted to enable production of corresponding targets, which may be measured by standard or by provided modified optical systems, configured to enable phase measurements of the Moiré patterns.

    Abstract: Metrology methods and targets are provided, for estimating inter-cell process variation by deriving, from overlay measurements of at least three target cells having different designed misalignments, a dependency of a measured inaccuracy on the designed misalignments (each designed misalignment is between at least two overlapping periodic structures in the respective target cell). Inaccuracies which are related to the designed misalignments are reduced, process variation sources are detected and targets and measurement algorithms are optimized according to the derived dependency.
