Abstract:
A method of and an apparatus for use in determining one or more alignment properties of an illumination beam of radiation emitted by a radiation source are provided. The illumination beam is for irradiating a target area on a substrate in a metrology apparatus. The method comprises: (a) obtaining a first set of intensity data; (b) obtaining a second set of intensity data; (c) processing said first and second sets of intensity data to determine said one or more alignment properties of said illumination beam of radiation; wherein said processing involves comparing said first and second sets of intensity data to calculate a value which is indicative of a translation of said illumination beam of radiation.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , further comprising performing a coordinate transformation on the first coordinate according to a tool configuration to obtain a first source coordinate, wherein the first source coordinate defines a position of the radiation source.
