Abstract: An illumination system has a microLED array 502. The microLED array 502 is imaged or placed very close to a phosphor coated glass disc 504 which upconverts the light from the microLED array into a narrow band emission. The plate has at least two different photoluminescent materials arranged to be illuminated by the microLED array and to thereby emit output light. The different photoluminescent materials have different emission spectral properties of the output light, e.g. different center wavelength and optionally different bandwidth. Illumination of different photoluminescent materials by the illumination sources is selectable, by selective activation of the microLEDs or by movement of the photoluminescent materials relative to the illumination sources, to provide different illumination of the different photoluminescent materials. This provides tunable spectral properties of the output light. Selectively configurable filters 506 are arranged to filter the output light in accordance with the selected illumination of the different photoluminescent materials.

Abstract: Disclosed is a metrology device operable to measure a sample with measurement radiation and associated method. The metrology device comprises: an illumination branch operable to propagate measurement radiation to a sample, a detection branch operable to propagate one or more components of scattered radiation, scattered from said sample as a result of illumination of the sample by said measurement radiation; and a dispersive arrangement in either of said illumination branch or said detection branch. The dispersive arrangement is arranged to maintain one or more components of said scattered radiation at substantially a same respective location in a detection pupil plane over a range of wavelength values for said measurement radiation.

Abstract: An optical system (OS) for focusing a beam of radiation (B) on a region of interest in a metrology apparatus is described. The beam of radiation (B) comprises radiation in a soft X-ray or Extreme Ultraviolet spectral range. The optical system (OS) comprises a first stage (S1) for focusing the beam of radiation at an intermediate focus region. The optical system (OS) comprises a second stage (S2) for focusing the beam of radiation from the intermediate focus region onto the region of interest. The first and second stages each comprise a Kirkpatrick-Baez reflector combination. At least one reflector comprises an aberration-correcting reflector.

Abstract: A measurement system is disclosed in which a first optical system splits an input radiation beam into a plurality of components. A modulator receives the plurality of components and applies a modulation to at least one of the components independently of at least one other of the components. A second optical system illuminates a target with the plurality of components and directs radiation scattered by the target to a detection system. The detection system distinguishes between each of one or more components, or between each of one or more groups of components, of the radiation directed to the detection system based on the modulation applied to each component or each group of components by the modulator.

Abstract: Metrology apparatus and methods are disclosed. In one arrangement, a substrate is inspected. A source beam of radiation emitted by a radiation source is split into a measurement beam and a reference beam. A first target is illuminated with the measurement beam, the first target being on the substrate. A second target is illuminated with the reference beam, the second target being separated from the substrate. First scattered radiation is collected from the first target and delivered to a detector. Second scattered radiation is collected from the second target and delivered to the detector. The first scattered radiation interferes with the second scattered radiation at the detector. The first target comprises a first pattern. The second target comprises a second pattern, or a pupil plane image of the second pattern. The first pattern is geometrically identical to the second pattern, the first pattern and the second pattern are periodic and a pitch of the first pattern is identical to a pitch of the second pattern, or both.
