摘要: Provided is a method of determining, out of a plurality of shot regions of a substrate, a set of sample shot regions in each of which a position of a mark is to be actually measured. The method includes setting an initial arrangement of the set of sample shot regions, and adding, to the set of sample shot regions, a shot region, among the shot regions other than the sample shot regions in the initial arrangement, in which a value indicating uncertainty of an estimate of a measurement value of a position of a mark obtained using an estimation model exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

摘要: An automatic photomask handling assembly is employed for holding a photomask for cleaning processes in an atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) chamber. The automatic photomask handling assembly includes a set of stationary standoffs with each of the stationary standoffs having a first end solidly mounted to the photomask handling assembly and a second end that contacts an underside of a photomask. The automatic photomask handling assembly also has a handling stage that holds the photomask for processing. The handling stage has a set of through openings that allow the set of stationary standoffs to pass through the handling stage as the handling stage moves vertically. The handling stage also has a set of plates that automatically clamp and unclamp a photomask as the handling stage moves vertically. The set of plates completely surrounds the photomask such that the clamped photomask and the set of plates form a continuous surface.

摘要: A method for calibrating the alignment of a wafer is provided. A plurality of alignment position deviation (APD) simulation results are obtained form a plurality of mark profiles. An alignment analysis is performed on a mark region of the wafer with a light beam. A measured APD of the mark region of the wafer is obtained in response to the light beam. The measured APD is compared with the APD simulation results to obtain alignment calibration data. An exposure process is performed on the wafer with a mask according to the alignment calibration data.
