A method for determining a vertical position of a structure on a substrate and associated apparatuses

A method for determining a vertical position of a structure on a substrate with respect to a nominal vertical position is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining complex field data relating to scattered radiation from said structure, for a plurality of different wavelengths, determining variation...

Zusammenfassung:A method for determining a vertical position of a structure on a substrate with respect to a nominal vertical position is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining complex field data relating to scattered radiation from said structure, for a plurality of different wavelengths, determining variation in a phase parameter with wavelength from said complex field data; and determining said vertical position with respect to a nominal vertical position from the determined variation in phase with wavelength.
