摘要: In a method executed in an exposure apparatus, a focus control effective region and a focus control exclusion region are set based on an exposure map and a chip area layout within an exposure area. Focus-leveling data are measured over a wafer. A photo resist layer on the wafer is exposed with an exposure light. When a chip area of a plurality of chip areas of the exposure area is located within an effective region of a wafer, the chip area is included in the focus control effective region, and when a part of or all of a chip area of the plurality of chip areas is located on or outside a periphery of the effective region of the wafer, the chip area is included in the focus control exclusion region In the exposing, a focus-leveling is controlled by using the focus-leveling data measured at the focus control effective region.

摘要: A resist material dispensing system includes a resist supply and a resist filter connected to the resist supply downstream from the resist supply. The resist material dispensing system includes a resist tank structure connected to the resist filter downstream from the resist filter and a resist pump device connected to the resist tank structure downstream from the resist tank structure. The resist tank structure is vertically arranged so that a resist material flows in a continuous downward flow from where the resist material enters the resist tank structure until the resist material exits the resist tank structure.

摘要: The present disclosure provides an overlay metrology method, an overlay control method and an overlay control system. The overlay metrology method includes capturing a current layer image of a current overlay mark on a current layer with a current focal length and capturing a previous layer image of a previous overlay mark on a previous layer with a previous focal length. Then, the overlay metrology method further includes combining the current layer image with the previous layer image to form an overlay mark image and determining an overlay error between the current overlay mark and the previous overlay mark based on the overlay mark image.

摘要: In a method for fabricating a resist pattern, a substrate coated with a photo resist is loaded on a stage of an exposure apparatus. Underlying patterns are fabricated on the substrate. A surface slope of an exposure area on the substrate is measured. An alignment measurement is performed by detecting an alignment pattern formed in the underlying patterns. An alignment measurement result is corrected based on the measured surface slope. The substrate is aligned to a photo mask by using the corrected alignment measurement result. The photo resist is exposed to radiation passing through the photo mask to form patterns.

摘要: A process of measuring overlay metrologies of wafers, the wafer having a plurality of patterned layers. The process begins with retrieving historical overlay metrologies from a database, and real overlay metrologies of a first group of the wafers are measured. On the other hand, virtual overlay metrologies of a second group of the wafers are calculated with the retrieved historical overly metrologies. The real overlay metrologies of the first group of the wafers and the virtual overlay metrologies of the second group of the wafers are stored to the database as the historical overlay metrologies.
