Abstract:
A method of measuring a parameter of interest relating to a structure formed by a process on a substrate, and associated apparatuses. The method includes measuring the structure with measurement radiation including a first illumination acquisition setting (determining one or more selected from: a wavelength, a polarization or an incident angle of the measurement radiation) to obtain a first measurement value for the structure. The method further includes estimating, by applying a correction model to the first measurement value, at least a second measurement value for the structure corresponding to measurement of the structure with a second illumination acquisition setting different from the first illumination acquisition setting.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of manufacturing devices wherein a device pattern is applied to a series of substrates using a lithographic process, the method including inspecting at least one periodic structure formed as part of or beside the device pattern on at least one of the substrates using the inspection method of  claim 1 , and controlling the lithographic process for later substrates in accordance with a result of the inspection method.
