A METHOD FOR MODELING MEASUREMENT DATA OVER A SUBSTRATE AREA AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUSES

Disclosed is a method for modeling alignment data over a substrate area relating to a substrate being exposed in a lithographic process. The method comprises obtaining alignment data relating to said substrate and separating the alignment data into a systematic component which is relatively stable b...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method for modeling alignment data over a substrate area relating to a substrate being exposed in a lithographic process. The method comprises obtaining alignment data relating to said substrate and separating the alignment data into a systematic component which is relatively stable between different substrates and a non-systematic component which is not relatively stable between different substrates. The systematic component and the non-systematic component are individually modeled and a process correction for the substrate determined based on the modeled systematic component and modeled non-systematic component.
