    摘要: Size characteristic quantities are measured at a plural locations. The size characteristic quantities include edge widths, pattern widths, and/or pattern lengths of the electron-beam images of a resist-dropout pattern and a resist-remaining pattern that are located such that the effective exposure quantities differ depending on the places. With the predetermined measurement errors added thereto, the size characteristic quantities are compared with model data that has been created in advance and that causes various exposure conditions to be related with the size characteristic quantities measured under these various exposure conditions. This comparison makes it possible not only to estimate deviation quantities in the exposure quantity and the focal-point position from the correct values, but also to calculate ambiguity degrees of the estimated values. This, allows the implementation of a proper monitoring/controlling of the exposure-condition variations (i.e., the deviations in the exposure quantity and the focal-point position) in the lithography process.

    摘要: In order to accurately monitor changes in exposure conditions (changes in exposure level and focus) at a product wafer level during lithography, changes in exposure conditions can be calculated by acquiring electron beam images of a first pattern portion and a second pattern portion different from one another in terms of the tendency of the changes in dimensional characteristic quantities against the changes in exposure conditions, then calculating the respective dimensional characteristic quantities of the first pattern portion and the second pattern portion, and applying these dimensional characteristic quantities to the models which logically link the exposure conditions and the dimensional characteristic quantities. Hereby, it is possible to supply the process conditions change monitoring systems and methods that enable output of accurate changes in exposure level and focus.
