A photomask includes a transparent substrate, and a plurality of light-shielding patterns repeatedly aligned on the transparent substrate in two dimensions. Each of the light-shielding patterns has length and width measurements that differ from each other. Further, the photomask includes at least one through hole penetrating a portion of each of the light-shielding patterns to expose the transparent substrate.

摘要:
In an optical system for forming a photoresist pattern on a substrate, an optical element such as a holographic optical element and an aperture plate provides an off-axis illumination beam having a hexapole. The photoresist pattern is formed to form structures such as contact pads, and includes first holes and second holes repeatedly arranged on the substrate. The hexapole includes four first poles symmetrically disposed with respect to an x-axis and a y-axis, and two second poles disposed in the x-axis so as to be symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The off-axis illumination beam may improve a resolution of the photoresist pattern and a depth of focus (DOF) of a light beam to be projected onto the substrate.

An illumination system including a diffractive optical element (DOE) having an uneven surface that produces an illumination shape. The DOE comprising an uneven surface that produces a multipole illumination shape having angular scope element, wherein the angular scope element is a function of a radius and an angle of the produced multipole illumination shape, and wherein a position of the poles and sizes of the poles in an angular scope vary with a radial scope used in producing the multipole illumination shape, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the system.

A method of correcting an overlay includes setting a reference map having information relating to predetermined positions of a substrate. An overlay value is measured at each of the predetermined positions to obtain a plurality of overlay measurement values. The plurality of overlay measurement values is applied to a polar coordinate function to calculate a correlation coefficient of the polar coordinate function. The polar coordinate function uses coordinate values of the predetermined positions as parameters.

An optical mask for use with an exposure beam includes a mask substrate adapted to be placed on a traveling path of the exposure beam. A reference pattern is formed on the mask substrate. The reference pattern is adapted to direct the exposure beam to travel in a predetermined reference direction. A comparative pattern is formed on the mask substrate. The comparative pattern is adapted to direct the exposure beam to travel in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the reference direction.
