System and method for dark field inspection |
摘要 |
The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor structure. The method comprises providing a substrate and a patterned layer formed on the substrate, one or more overlay marks being formed on the patterned layer; performing a pre-film-formation overlay inspection using a bright field (BF) inspection tool to receive a pre-film-formation data on the one or more overlay marks on the patterned layer; forming one or more layers on the patterned layer; performing a post-film-formation overlay inspection using a dark field (DF) inspection tool to receive a post-film-formation data on the one or more overlay marks underlying the one or more layers; and determining whether the pre-film-formation data matches the post-film-formation data. |

1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure, comprising:
providing a substrate and a patterned layer formed on the substrate, one or more overlay marks being formed on the patterned layer; performing a pre-film-formation overlay inspection using a bright field (BF) inspection tool to receive a pre-film-formation data on the one or more overlay marks on the patterned layer; forming one or more layers on the patterned layer; performing a post-film-formation overlay inspection using a dark field (DF) inspection tool to receive a post-film-formation data on the one or more overlay marks underlying the one or more layers; and determining whether the pre-film-formation data matches the post-film-formation data. |
