Embodiment Construction
[0024] Reference will now be made in detail to the disclosed subject matter which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The present invention may be embodied in a system and method for monitoring and controlling feedback control in a manufacturing process, such as a photolithographic integrated circuit manufacturing process. Process control parameters in a lithographic system include, but are not limited to, translation, rotation, magnification, dose, and focus applied by a lithographic scanner or stepper operating on a given wafer (eg, a silicon wafer). Use the coverage error measure to calculate the measured parameters used in the feedback control process. These expected corrections are statistically analyzed and used to determine refined process control parameters to implement feedback control of the process control parameters applied by the scanner or stepper. Process control variables actually applied to a particular layer by a scanner or stepper are referred to i...
