    Abstract: Methods of measuring variation across multiple instances of a pattern on a substrate or substrates after a step in a device manufacturing process are disclosed. In one arrangement, data representing a set of images is received. Each image represents a different instance of the pattern, wherein the pattern includes a plurality of pattern elements. The set of images are registered relative to each other to superimpose the instances of the pattern. The registration includes applying different weightings to two or more of the plurality of pattern elements, wherein the weightings control the extent to which each pattern element contributes to the registration of the set of images and each weighting is based on an expected variation of the pattern element to which the weighting is applied. Variation in the pattern is measured using the registered set of images.

    Abstract: A method of, and associated apparatus for, determining focus corrections for a lithographic projection apparatus. The method comprises exposing a plurality of global correction fields on a test substrate, each comprising a plurality of global correction marks, and each being exposed with a tilted focus offset across it; measuring a focus dependent characteristic for each of the plurality of global correction marks to determine interfield focus variation information; and calculating interfield focus corrections from the interfield focus variation information.

    Abstract: A method for training a deep learning model of a patterning process. The method includes obtaining (i) training data including an input image of at least a part of a substrate having a plurality of features and including a truth image, (ii) a set of classes, each class corresponding to a feature of the plurality of features of the substrate within the input image, and (iii) a deep learning model configured to receive the training data and the set of classes, generating a predicted image, by modeling and/or simulation with the deep learning model using the input image, assigning a class of the set of classes to a feature within the predicted image based on matching of the feature with a corresponding feature within the truth image, and generating, by modeling and/or simulation, a trained deep learning model by iteratively assigning weights using a loss function.
