description Methods and apparatus to control grayscale lithography are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus for adjusting a grayscale lithography process includes an optical measurement device to optically measure portions of a patterned wafer, and a processor to calculate a profile based on the measured portions, and to determine an adjustment of the grayscale lithography process based on the calculated profile. The disclosed apparatus also includes an adjuster to control the grayscale lithography process based on the adjustment.
