description The present invention relates to a device manufacturing method wherein a plurality of front side marks are manufactured on the front side of the substrate. These marks are used to locally align the substrate when exposing. After certain processing steps, the positions of the front side marks are measured and compared with respect to their original positions. The measured position changes of the front side marks, i.e. their behaviour, can then be analyzed. The original positions and actual positions are defined with respect to a nominal grid which is defined using global alignment marks which are positioned at the back side of the substrate. Because the global alignment marks are positioned at the back side, they are not affected by any processing step.
