    摘要: A method of filtering overlay data by field is provided in the present invention. The method includes the following steps. A minimum number of measure points per field on a semiconductor substrate is decided. Field data filtering rules are set. Overlay raw data is inputted. A raw data filtration is performed to the overlay raw data by field according to the field data filtering rules. Modified exposure parameters are generated for each field according to overlay data of remaining measure points per field after the raw data filtration when the number of the remaining measure points per field is larger than or equal to the minimum number of the measure points per field. Accordingly, the modified exposure parameters will be more effective in reducing the overlay error because more outliers may be filtered out before generating the modified exposure parameters.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit includes the following steps. A substrate including a plurality of exposure fields is provided, and each of the exposure field includes a target portion and a set of alignment marks. Measure the set of alignment marks of each exposure field by a measuring system to obtain alignment data for the respective exposure field. Determine an exposure parameter corresponding to each exposure field and an exposure location on the target portion from the alignment data for the respective exposure field by a calculating system. Feedback the alignment data to a next substrate.
