Overlay measuring pattern, photomask, and overlay measuring method and apparatus

摘要

An overlay measuring pattern has a rectangular portion and band-shaped portions separated from opposite sides of the rectangular portion by an equal distance and parallel to the sides. Even when a photoresist shrinks upon heating after the overlay measuring pattern is transferred to the photoresist, the taper amounts of the sides of the rectangular portion transferred to the photoresist equal each other in their sections between opposite sides. Hence, the overlay shift can be accurately obtained.
