    Abstract: A lithography system is provided capable of deterring contaminants, such as tin debris from entering into the scanner. The lithography system in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a processor, an extreme ultraviolet light source, a scanner, and a hollow connection member. The light source includes a droplet generator for generating a droplet, a collector for reflecting extreme ultraviolet light into an intermediate focus point, and a light generator for generating pre-pulse light and main pulse light. The droplet generates the extreme ultraviolet light in response to the droplet being illuminated with the pre-pulse light and the main pulse light. The scanner includes a wafer stage. The hollow connection member includes an inlet that is in fluid communication with an exhaust pump. The hollow connection member provides a hollow space in which the intermediate focus point is disposed. The hollow connection member is disposed between the extreme ultraviolet light source and the scanner.

    Abstract: A baking apparatus for priming a substrate is provided, which includes a chamber, a hot plate and a barrier element. The hot plate is in the chamber and configured to bake the substrate on the hot plate. The barrier element is in contact with a periphery of the substrate and the hot plate to prevent contamination on a lower surface of the substrate. Another baking apparatus for priming a substrate is also provided, which includes a chamber and a hot plate. The hot plate is in the chamber and in full contact with a lower surface of the substrate to prevent contamination thereon.

    Abstract: An immersion lithography apparatus includes a lens system, an immersion hood, a wafer stage, an inspection system and a cleaning fluid supplier. The lens system is configured to project a pattern onto a wafer. The immersion hood is configured to confine an immersion fluid between the lens system and the wafer, and includes a peripheral hole configured to suck up the immersion fluid. The wafer stage is configured to position the wafer under the lens system. The inspection system is configured to detect whether there is contamination in the peripheral hole. The cleaning fluid supplier is coupled to the inspection system and configured to supply a cleaning fluid through the peripheral hole to remove the contamination, in which the inspection system and the cleaning fluid supplier are coupled to the wafer stage.

    Abstract: A process of measuring overlay metrologies of wafers, the wafer having a plurality of patterned layers. The process begins with retrieving historical overlay metrologies from a database, and real overlay metrologies of a first group of the wafers are measured. On the other hand, virtual overlay metrologies of a second group of the wafers are calculated with the retrieved historical overly metrologies. The real overlay metrologies of the first group of the wafers and the virtual overlay metrologies of the second group of the wafers are stored to the database as the historical overlay metrologies.
