    摘要: A plasma control device includes a matching circuit, a resonance circuit, and a controller. The matching circuit is connected to a first electrode of a plasma chamber including the first electrode and a second electrode, and matches impedance of a radio frequency (RF) power by an RF driving signal with an impedance of the first electrode. The RF driving signal is based on a first RF signal having a first frequency. The resonance circuit is connected between the second electrode and a ground voltage, and controls plasma distribution within the plasma chamber by providing resonance with respect to harmonics associated with the first frequency and by adjusting a ground impedance between the second electrode and the ground voltage. The controller provides the resonance circuit with a capacitance control signal associated with the resonance and switch control signals associated with the ground impedance.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method may include forming a parent pattern, forming an upper thin film on the parent pattern, forming a child pattern on the upper thin film, measuring a diffraction light from the parent and child patterns to obtain an intensity difference curve of the diffraction light versus its wavelength, and performing an overlay measurement process on the parent and child patterns using the diffraction light, which has the same wavelength as a peak of the intensity difference curve located near a peak of reflectance of the parent and child patterns, to obtain an overlay measurement value.
