发明名称 Temperature effects on overlay accuracy
摘要 A method for reducing overlay error in a photolithographic process, by providing a substrate having a permanent layer with a first pattern disposed therein, coating the substrate with photoresist, exposing the photoresist to a second pattern, while measuring temperatures at a plurality of different first positions across the substrate, developing the second pattern in the photoresist, measuring overlay errors between the first and second patterns at a plurality of different second positions across the substrate, correlating the overlay errors with temperatures by position on the substrate, determining any relationship indicated between the correlated overlay errors and temperatures, and adjusting at least one temperature controlling aspect of the photolithographic process in response to any relationship determined.
