摘要： One embodiment relates to a method for semiconductor workpiece processing. In this method, a baseline tool induced shift (TIS) is measured by performing a baseline number of TIS measurements on a first semiconductor workpiece. After the baseline TIS has been determined, the method determines a subsequent TIS based on a subsequent number of TIS measurements taken on a first subsequent semiconductor workpiece. The subsequent number of TIS measurements is less than the baseline number of TIS measurements.

摘要： A method and system to improve scanner throughput is provided. An image from a reticle is projected onto a substrate using a continuous linear scanning procedure in which an entire column of die or cells of die is scanned continuously, i.e. without stepping to a different location. Each scan includes translating a substrate with respect to a fixed beam. While the substrate is translated, the reticle is also translated. When a first die or cell of die is projected onto the substrate, the reticle translates along a direction opposite the scan direction and as the scan continues along the same direction, the reticle then translates in the opposite direction of the substrate thereby forming an inverted pattern on the next die or cell. The time associated with exposing the substrate is minimized as the stepping operation only occurs after a complete column of cells is scanned.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a lithographic tool arrangement for semiconductor workpiece processing. The lithographic tool arrangement groups lithographic tools into clusters, and selectively transfers a semiconductor workpiece between a plurality of lithographic tools of a first type in a first cluster to a plurality of lithographic tools of a second type in a second cluster. The selective transfer is achieved though a transfer assembly, which is coupled to a defect scan tool that identifies defects generated in the lithographic tool of the first type. The disclosed lithographic tool arrangement also utilizes shared structural elements such as a housing assembly, and shared functional elements such as gases and chemicals. The lithographic tool arrangement may consist of baking, coating, exposure, and development units configured to provide a modularization of these various components in order to optimize throughput and efficiency for a given lithographic fabrication process.
