    Abstract: A method of treating a semiconductor substrate includes converting a first main side of the semiconductor substrate having a first coefficient of static friction relative to a surface of a wafer table to a second coefficient of static friction relative to the surface of the wafer table, wherein the second coefficient of static friction is less than the first coefficient of static friction. A photoresist layer is applied over a second main side of the semiconductor substrate having the first coefficient of static friction. The second main side opposes the first main side. The semiconductor substrate is placed on the wafer table so that the first main side of the semiconductor substrate faces the wafer table.

    Abstract: A tool and a method of developing are provided. In various embodiments, the method of developing includes rotating a wafer at a first rotating speed. The method further includes dispensing a developer solution onto the wafer at the first rotating speed by a first nozzle above the wafer, wherein the first nozzle moves back and forth along a path during dispensing the developer solution. The method further includes rotating the wafer at a second rotating speed to spread the developer solution onto the wafer uniformly. The method further includes dispensing a rinse solution onto the wafer at the second rotating speed by a second nozzle above the wafer.

    Abstract: A developing method is provided. The developing method includes rotating a wafer. The developing method also includes dispensing, through a first nozzle, a developer solution onto the rotated wafer through a first nozzle at a first rotating speed. The developing method further includes dispensing, through a second nozzle, a rinse solution onto the rotated wafer through a second nozzle at a second rotating speed. The second rotating speed is less than the first rotating speed. In addition, the developing method includes simultaneously moving the first nozzle and the second nozzle during either the dispensing of the developer solution or the dispensing of the rinse solution.

    Abstract: A developing method includes rotating a wafer. A developer solution is dispensed onto the rotated wafer through a first nozzle. The first nozzle is moved from a first position to a second position. The first position and the second position are over the wafer and within a perimeter of the wafer when viewed from a top of the wafer. The developer solution is dispensed through the first nozzle when moving the first nozzle from the first position to the second position. The first nozzle is moved back from the second position to the first position immediately after the first nozzle is moved from the first position to the second position. The developer solution is dispensed through the first nozzle when moving the first nozzle from the second position to the first position.

    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method to achieve enhanced overlay control while maintaining manufacturing throughput for a fabrication process. Locations of a plurality of alignment structures on a wafer comprising a plurality of reticle fields are determined with a layout tool to define a layout-based wafer map. The topography of the wafer is then measured as a function of wafer position by a surface measuring tool. The layout-based wafer map is then projected onto the measured wafer topography to define a modeled wafer map. A subset of alignment structure locations are measured with an alignment tool in an in-line fabrication flow so as not to delay subsequent fabrication steps. Disagreement between the measured alignment structure locations and modeled alignment structure locations is then minimized mathematically to enhance overlay control while maintaining manufacturing throughput.
