    Abstract: A metrology system (400) includes a multi-source radiation system. The multi-source radiation system includes a waveguide device (502) and the multi-source radiation system is configured to generate one or more beams of radiation. The metrology system (400) further includes a coherence adjuster (500) including a multimode waveguide device (504). The multimode waveguide device (504) includes an input configured to receive the one or more beams of radiation from the multi-source radiation system (514) and an output (518) configured to output a coherence adjusted beam of radiation for irradiating a target (418). The metrology system (400) further includes an actuator (506) coupled to the waveguide device (502) and configured to actuate the waveguide device (502) so as to change an impingement characteristic of the one or more beams of radiation at the input of the multimode waveguide device (504).

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The lithographic apparatus includes a scatterometer configured to measure a property of the substrate. The scatterometer includes a radiation source configured to produce a radiated spot on a target on the substrate, where the radiated spot includes positions on the target. The scatterometer further includes a detector configured to generate measurement signals that correspond to respective ones of the positions of the radiated spot and a processor configured to output, based on the measurement signals, a single value that is representative of the property of the substrate.

    Abstract: An inspection apparatus (300) includes a focus monitoring arrangement (500, 500′). Focusing radiation (505) comprises radiation having a first wavelength and radiation having a second wavelength. Reference radiation and focusing radiation at each wavelength are provided with at least one relative frequency shift so that the interfering radiation detected in the detection system includes a time-varying component having a characteristic frequency. A focus detection system (520) comprises one or more lock-in detectors (520b, 520c, 900). Operating the lock-in detectors with reference to both the first and second characteristic frequencies allows the arrangement to select which of the first and second focusing radiation is used to determine whether the optical system is in focus. Good quality signals can be obtained from targets of different structure.

    Abstract: A scatterometer for measuring a property of a target on a substrate includes a radiation source, a detector, and a processor. The radiation source produces a radiated spot on the target. The scatterometer adjusts a position of the radiated spot along a first direction across the target and along a second direction that is at an angle with respect to the first direction. The detector receives radiation scattered by the target. The received radiation is associated with positions of the radiated spot on the target along at least the first direction. The detector generates measurement signals based on the positions of the radiated spot on the target. The processor outputs, based on the measurement signals, a single value that is representative of the property of the target. The processor also combines the measurement signals to output a combined signal and derives, based on the combined signal, the single value.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a metrology device (1600) configured to produce measurement illumination comprising a plurality of illumination beams, each of said illumination beams being spatially incoherent or pseudo-spatially incoherent and comprising multiple pupil points in an illumination pupil of the metrology device. Each pupil point in each one of said plurality of illumination beams has a corresponding pupil point in at least one of the other illumination beams of said plurality of illumination beams thereby defining multiple sets of corresponding pupil points, and the pupil points of each set of corresponding pupil points are spatially coherent with respect to each other.
