description PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve focus spot observation in a lithographic projection apparatus comprising a level sensor to measure the height of a wafer at a plurality of points. SOLUTION: Height information is sent to a processor (8) which is arranged to create a measured height map (50) using input from the level sensor. The processor (8) uses the measured height map (50) to calculate an average die structure (40), subtracts the average die structure (40) from the measured height map (50) with respect to a die (52) on the wafer to create an unworked height map (56) on the surface of the wafer, and uses the unworked height map (56) to detect an arbitrary focus spot on the surface of the wafer.
