    摘要: A device manufacturing method includes a transfer of a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate. The device manufacturing method further includes transferring a pattern of a main mark to a base layer for forming an alignment mark; depositing a pattern receiving layer on the base layer; in a first lithographic process, aligning, by using the main mark, a first mask that includes a first pattern and a local mark pattern, and transferring the first pattern and the local mark pattern to the pattern receiving layer; aligning, by using the local mark pattern, a second mask including a second pattern relative to the pattern receiving layer; andin a second lithographic process, transferring the second pattern to the pattern receiving layer; the first and second patterns being configured to form an assembled pattern.

    摘要: A method of forming features, e.g. contact holes, at a higher density than is possible with conventional lithographic techniques involves forming an array of sacrificial positive features, conformally depositing a sacrificial layer so that negative features are formed interleaved with the positive features, directionally etching the sacrificial layer and removing the sacrificial features. The result is an array of holes at a higher density than the original sacrificial features. These may then be transferred into the underlying substrate using a desired process. Also, the method may be repeated to create arrays at even higher densities.

    摘要: An alignment tool for a lithographic apparatus illuminates an alignment mark on a substrate with an alignment beam and measures the reflected spectrum. The reflected spectrum is compared with a reference mark to determine any misalignment. A blazed sub-wavelength grating is used to deflect the sub-beams created by diffracting the alignment beam from the alignment mark onto the reference mark.

    摘要: A marker, for example an alignment marker or an overlay marker is formed in two steps. First, a pattern of two chemically distinct feature types having a pitch comparable to product features is formed. This pattern is then masked by resist in the form of the desired marker, which has a larger pitch than the pattern. Finally, one of the two feature types is selectively etched in the open areas. The result is a marker with a large pitch suitable to be read with long wavelength radiation but the edges of the features are defined in an exposure step having a pitch comparable to the product features.
