Method and apparatus to determine a patterning process parameter

A method, includes illuminating a structure of a metrology target with radiation having a linear polarization in a first direction, receiving radiation redirected from the structure to a polarizing element, wherein the polarizing element has a polarization splitting axis at an angle to the first dir...

Zusammenfassung:A method, includes illuminating a structure of a metrology target with radiation having a linear polarization in a first direction, receiving radiation redirected from the structure to a polarizing element, wherein the polarizing element has a polarization splitting axis at an angle to the first direction, and measuring, using the sensor system, an optical characteristic of the redirected radiation.
