摘要: The present invention may include measuring a first phase distribution across a pupil plane of a portion of illumination reflected from a first overlay target of a semiconductor wafer, wherein the first overlay target is fabricated to have a first intentional overlay, measuring a second phase distribution across the pupil plane of a portion of illumination reflected from a second overlay target, wherein the second overlay target is fabricated to have a second intentional overlay in a direction opposite to and having the same magnitude as the first intentional overlay, determining a first phase tilt associated with a sum of the first and second phase distributions, determining a second phase tilt associated with a difference between the first and second phase distributions, calibrating a set of phase tilt data, and determining a test overlay value associated with the first and second overlay target.

摘要: Disclosed is a method for determining an overlay error between at least two layers in a multiple layer sample. A sample having a plurality of periodic targets that each have a first structure in a first layer and a second structure in a second layer is provided. There are predefined offsets between the first and second structures. Using a scatterometry overlay metrology, scatterometry overlay data is obtained from a first set of the periodic targets based on one or more measured optical signals from the first target set on the sample. Using an imaging overlay metrology, imaging overlay data is obtained from a second set of the periodic targets based on one or more image(s) from the second target set on the sample.
