Problems solved by technology

In the existing dual-wavelength laser measurement system, due to the shaking of the workpiece table during the scanning process and the influence of the mark on the process conditions and other factors, it is easy to affect the light intensity radiation value obtained by the dual-wavelength laser measurement system irradiating the mark. It will lead to a deviation of a certain point or a section of the light intensity waveform, which will affect the calculation of the alignment accuracy, or even the failure of the silicon wafer alignment.
Ultimately affects the alignment speed of the lithography machine and the yield of the whole machine

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for screening and correcting light intensity sampling points in an alignment process. The method comprises the steps of acquiring same sampling points in different periods in light intensity waveforms by contrasting and marking; judging whether the light intensity sampling points are distortional points according to the characteristics of different light intensity waveforms; judging whether the distortional points are continuous or not; and according to the continuity of the distortional points, correcting the distortional points to obtain corrected light intensity data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, in particular to a method for screening and correcting light intensity sampling points in an alignment process. Background technique [0002] The photolithography device is the main equipment for manufacturing integrated circuits. Its function is to sequentially image different mask patterns onto the precisely aligned positions on the substrate (silicon semiconductor wafer or LCD panel). However, this alignment position changes due to the physical and chemical changes experienced by successive patterns, so an alignment system is needed to ensure that the alignment position of the silicon wafer corresponding to the mask can be accurately aligned every time. As the number of electronic components per unit surface area of ​​the substrate increases and the size of electronic components becomes smaller and smaller, the precision requirements for integrated circuits are increas...
