    摘要: A substrate comprises a first mark and a second mark. The first mark comprises a first pattern with at least one mark feature formed by a first material and at least one further region formed by a second material. The first and second materials have different material characteristics with respect to a chemical-mechanical polishing process such that a step height in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate may be created by applying the chemical-mechanical polishing process. The second mark can be provided with a second step height by applying the chemical-mechanical polishing process. The second step height is substantially different from the first step height.

    摘要: An alignment mark on a substrate includes a periodic structure of a plurality of first elements and a plurality of second elements. The elements are arranged in an alternating repetitive sequence in a first direction. An overall pitch of the periodic structure is equal to a sum of a width of the first element and a width of the second element in the first direction. Each first element has a first periodic sub-structure with a first sub-pitch and each second element has a second periodic sub-structure with second sub-pitch. An optical property of the first element for interaction with a beam of radiation having a wavelength λ is different from the optical property of the second element. The overall pitch is larger than the wavelength λ, and each of the first and the second sub-pitch is smaller than the wavelength.

    摘要: An alignment measurement arrangement includes a source, an optical system and a detector. The source generates a radiation beam with a plurality of wavelength ranges. The optical system receives the radiation beam, produces an alignment beam, directs the alignment beam to a mark located on an object, receives alignment radiation back from the mark, and transmits the received radiation. The detector receives the alignment radiation and detects an image of the alignment mark and outputs a plurality of alignment signals, r, each associated with one of the wavelength ranges. A processor, in communication with the detector, receives the alignment signals, determines signal qualities of the alignment signals; determines aligned positions of the alignment signals, and calculates a position of the alignment mark based on the signal qualities, aligned positions, and a model relating the aligned position to the range of wavelengths and mark characteristics, including mark depth and mark asymmetry.
