ABSTRACT:
Radiation is projected onto a plurality of targets on a substrate. By assuming that the overlay error derivable from asymmetry varies smoothly across the substrate, the number of targets measured can be reduced. This may result in a smaller area of the scribe lane being used by targets for each layer of the substrate.
