Abstract:
Disclosed is an inspection apparatus and associated method for measuring a target structure on a substrate. The inspection apparatus comprises an illumination source for generating measurement radiation; an optical arrangement for focusing the measurement radiation onto said target structure; and a compensatory optical device. The compensatory optical device may comprise an SLM operable to spatially modulate the wavefront of the measurement radiation so as to compensate for a non-uniform manufacturing defect in said optical arrangement. In alternative embodiments, the compensatory optical device may be located in the beam of measurement radiation, or in the beam of pump radiation used to generate high harmonic radiation in a HHG source. Where located in the beam of pump radiation, the compensatory optical device may be used to correct pointing errors, or impart a desired profile or varying illumination pattern in a beam of the measurement radiation.

Claim (Index 5):
The illumination source of  claim 4 , wherein the position detector is operable to measure the position of the focused point of the beam of pump radiation.
