A patterning device, for use in forming a marker on a substrate by optical projection, the patterning device including a marker pattern having a density profile that is periodic with a fundamental spatial frequency corresponding to a desired periodicity of the marker to be formed. The density profile is modulated (such as sinusoidally) so as to suppress one or more harmonics of the fundamental frequency, relative to a simple binary profile having the fundamental frequency.
