System and method for measurement of alignment

Abstract:

A system comprises a topography measurement system configured to determine a respective height for each of a plurality of locations on a substrate; and a processor configured to: determine a height map for the substrate based on the determined heights for the plurality of locations; and determine at least one alignment parameter for the substrate by comparing the height map and a reference height map, wherein the reference height map comprises or represents heights for a plurality of locations on a reference substrate portion.
