Abstract: A deformation pattern recognition method including providing one or more deformation patterns, each deformation pattern being associated with a deformation of a substrate that may be caused by a processing device; transferring a first pattern to a substrate, the first pattern including at least N alignment marks, wherein each alignment mark is positioned at a respective predefined nominal position; processing the substrate; measuring a position of N alignment marks and determining an alignment mark displacement for the N alignment marks by comparing the respective nominal position with the respective measured position; fitting at least one deformation pattern to the measured alignment mark displacements; determining an accuracy value for each fitted deformation pattern, the accuracy value being representative of the accuracy of the corresponding fit; using the determined accuracy value, determining whether an associated deformation pattern is present.

Abstract: A system and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device lithographically and an article of manufacture involving a lithographic double patterning process having a dye added to either the first or second lithographic pattern are provided. The dye is used to detect the location of the first lithographic pattern and to directly align the second lithographic pattern to it. The dye may be fluorescent, luminescent, absorbent, or reflective at a specified wavelength or a given wavelength band. The wavelength may correspond to the wavelength of an alignment beam. The dye allows for detection of the first lithographic pattern even when it is over coated with a radiation sensitive-layer (e.g., resist).
