Patent number: 11029610Abstract: A method for determining one or more optimized values of an operational parameter of a sensor system configured for measuring a property of a substrate. The method includes: determining a quality parameter for a plurality of substrates; determining measurement parameters for the plurality of substrates obtained using the sensor system for a plurality of values of the operational parameter; comparing a substrate to substrate variation of the quality parameter and a substrate to substrate variation of a mapping of the measurement parameters; and determining the one or more optimized values of the operational parameter based on the comparing.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Patricius Aloysius Jacobus Tinnemans, Edo Maria Hulsebos, Henricus Johannes Lambertus Megens, Ahmet Koray Erdamar, Loek Johannes Petrus Verhees, Willem Seine Christian Roelofs, Wendy Johanna Martina Van De Ven, Hadi Yagubizade, Hakki Ergün Cekli, Ralph Brinkhof, Tran Thanh Thuy Vu, Maikel Robert Goosen, Maaike Van T Westeinde, Weitian Kou, Manouk Rijpstra, Matthijs Cox, Franciscus Godefridus Casper Bijnen
