    摘要: The energy distribution of exposure light directed passing through the slit of an exposure apparatus is determined. A photoresist layer on a substrate is exposed over a plurality of shots while changing the intensity of the exposure light for each shot. Then the photoresist layer is developed to form a sample photoresist layer. An image of the developed sample photoresist layer is analyzed for color intensity. Values of the color intensity across a selected one of the shots are correlated with values of the intensity of the exposure light to produce an energy distribution of the exposure light along the length of the slit. The energy distribution is used to change the slit so that a more desirable energy distribution may be realized when the slit is used in a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device.

    摘要: Provided are a method of measuring focal variations of a photolithography apparatus and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device using the method. The method of measuring the focal variations of the photolithography apparatus includes loading a photomask and a wafer into the photolithography apparatus. The photomask has an optical pattern, and the wafer has a photoresist layer on a top surface thereof. An image of the optical pattern is transferred to the photoresist layer using ultraviolet (UV) light. The photoresist layer is baked. The photoresist layer is inspected. Inspection results of the photoresist layer are analyzed. The inspection of the photoresist layer includes irradiating light for measurement to the entire surface of the wafer. Light reflected and diffracted by the wafer is collected to form an optical image. The analysis of the inspection results of the photoresist layer includes analyzing optical information on the optical image.
