Zusammenfassung:A method of measuring focus of a lithographic projection apparatus includes exposure of a photoresist covered test substrate with a plurality of verification fields. Each of the verification fields includes a plurality of verification markers, and the verification fields are exposed using a predetermined focus offset. After developing, an alignment offset for each of the verification markers is measured and translated into defocus data using a transposed focal curve.
