A method comprising adjusting a first relative position between a
substrate and a fabrication unit by a first shift value, forming a first
pattern relative to a first pattern instance on the substrate subsequent
to adjusting the first relative position by the first shift value, and
calculating a second shift value using a first displacement between the
first pattern and the first pattern instance and a second displacement
between a second relative position of the first pattern instance with
respect to a second pattern instance is provided.
