摘要： A system for regulating the time and temperature of a development process is provided. The system includes one or more light sources, each light source directing light to one or more gratings being developed on a wafer. Light reflected from the gratings is collected by a measuring system, which processes the collected light. Light passing through the gratings may similarly be collected by the measuring system, which processes the collected light. The collected light is indicative of the progress of development of the respective portions of the wafer. The measuring system provides progress of development related data to a processor that determines the progress of development of the respective portions of the wafer. The system also includes a plurality of heating devices, each heating device corresponds to a respective portion of the developer and provides for the heating thereof. The processor selectively controls the heating devices so as to regulate temperature of the respective portions of the wafer.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a system and a method for controlling a thin film formation on a moving substrate as part of a process for manufacturing an integrated circuit. The invention involves the use of scatterometry to control the thin film formation process by analyzing the thin film on the moving substrate in a periodic manner. A registration feature associated with the moving substrate can be utilized in conjunction with a signaling system to determine a position of the moving substrate, whereby a repeatable analysis of a corresponding location on the moving substrate can be performed. Scatterometry permits in-situ measurements of thin film formation progress, whereby thin film formation process conditions can be controlled in a feedback loop to obtain a targeted result. Scatterometry can also be facilitated by providing a grating pattern on a non-production portion of the substrate.
