    摘要: A lithography tool is calibrated using a calibration substrate having a set of first marks distributed across its surface in a known pattern. The tool is operated to apply a pattern comprising a plurality of second marks at various positions on the substrate, each second mark overlying one of the first marks and being subject to an overlay error dependent on an apparatus-specific deviation. The second marks are applied by multiple exposures while the substrate remains loaded in the tool. An operating parameter of the apparatus is varied between the exposures. An overlay error is measured and used to calculate parameter-specific, apparatus-specific calibration data based on knowledge of the parameter variation used for each exposure.

    摘要: A first and a second phase-shifting, semitransparent layer are formed on a substrate. The layers are patterned lithographically to form first elevated structure elements on the substrate with a first degree of transmission and second structure elements with a second degree of transmission, where the second degree of transmission is different from the first degree of transmission. Memory products can be produced with high resolution and high dimensional accuracy when the structure elements are transferred to a semiconductor substrate, by virtue of dense structure arrangements being represented by the structure elements with a high degree of transmission of more than 30% and, on the same mask, isolated structure arrangements having a low density being represented by the structure elements with a lower degree of transmission.
