Original Abstract Submitted

A method and system for designing a mark for use in imaging of a pattern on a substrate using a lithographic process in a lithographic apparatus. The method includes obtaining a mark construction, obtaining a spatial variation of a geometric parameter associated with the mark construction, and determining a geometry design of individual patterns of a mark based on the spatial variation and a spatial location of the mark.
