    Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing system includes a photolithography apparatus that performs exposure. On a semiconductor substrate including a chip area and a scribe lane area. An etching apparatus etches the exposed semiconductor substrate. An observing apparatus images the etched semiconductor substrate. A controller controls the photolithography apparatus and the etching apparatus. The controller generates a first mask pattern and provides the first mask pattern to the photolithography apparatus. The photolithography apparatus performs exposure on the semiconductor substrate using the first mask pattern. The etching apparatus performs etching on the exposed semiconductor substrate to provide an etched semiconductor substrate. The observing apparatus generates a first semiconductor substrate image by imaging the etched semiconductor substrate corresponding to the scribe lane area. The controller generates a second mask pattern based on the first mask pattern and the first semiconductor substrate image, and provides the second mask pattern to the photolithography apparatus.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a mold layer on a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of integrated circuit die at least partially defined therein. An etch stopper film is selectively formed on a second portion of the mold layer extending adjacent a periphery of the semiconductor wafer, but not on a first portion of the mold layer extending opposite at least one of the plurality of integrated circuit die. A preliminary pattern layer is formed on the etch stopper film and on the first portion of the mold layer. A plurality of patterns are formed in the preliminary pattern layer by selectively exposing the preliminary pattern layer to extreme ultraviolet light (EUV). Then, hole patterns are selectively formed in the first portion of the mold layer, using the exposed preliminary pattern layer and the etch stopper film as an etching mask.
