description A method for source mask optimization with a lithographic projection apparatus. The method includes determining a multi-variable source mask optimization function using a plurality of tunable design variables for an illumination system of the lithographic projection apparatus, a projection optics of the lithographic projection apparatus to image a mask design layout onto a substrate, and the mask design layout. The multi-variable source mask optimization function may account for imaging variation across different positions in an exposure slit corresponding to different stripes of the mask design layout exposed by a same slit position of the exposure apparatus. The method includes iteratively adjusting the plurality of tunable design variables in the multi-variable source mask optimization function until a termination condition is satisfied.
