Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an array of structures over a substrate, so that a parameter of interest for each of said structures is substantially identical, the method comprising the steps of:depositing an element defining overlay on said substrate for each structure in an array of structures thereby forming an array of element defining overlays, wherein at least one of said element defining overlays is intentionally not identical to at least one other of said element defining overlays; and processing said substrate with said element defining overlays thereon so that a parameter of interest of each of said elements as formed after said processing is identical for each of said structures on said substrate, said parameter of interest being a function of the attribute of said element defining overlay that makes said at least one element defining overlay intentionally different from said at least one other element defining overlay.
