However, this standardized design is often difficult to be compatible with various shapes of irregular workpieces. Some common processing equipment, such as contact UV exposure machines, have inherent limitations in alignment accuracy and operational flexibility.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the suction cup of the exposure machine is 6 inches, and the inner diameter of the special-shaped fixture is also 6 inches.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the alignment marks of the special-shaped fixture layer include 4 cross marks with a length and width of 0.4mm*0.1mm, which are distributed at different positions around the special-shaped workpiece slot, and at least 2 pairs of cross mark center lines are perpendicular to each other.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, the transverse stripe array is composed of 4 stripes arranged periodically and kept parallel to the cross mark in the transverse direction, and the longitudinal stripe array is composed of 4 stripes arranged periodically and kept parallel to the cross mark in the longitudinal direction.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the length and width of the horizontal and vertical stripes in the angle offset detection marks corresponding to the shaped fixture layer and the photolithography mask layer are both 0.4mm*0.1mm, and the period is 0.3mm; the length and width of the horizontal and vertical stripes in the angle offset detection marks corresponding to the shaped workpiece layer and the photolithography mask layer are both 0.01mm*0.005mm, and the period is 0.02mm.

[0059] The workpiece layer alignment mark and the angle deviation detection mark are metal marks formed by the following steps: step A1: spin coating photoresist on the surface of the special-shaped workpiece and performing pre-baking treatment; step A2: fixing the special-shaped workpiece by using a special-shaped fixture and accurately aligning it with the photolithography mask; step A3: exposing the photoresist using the alignment mark pattern and the angle deviation detection mark in the special-shaped workpiece area on the photolithography mask; step A4: developing the exposed photoresist and drying it with an inert gas; step A5: after development, the marked area on the surface of the special-shaped workpiece exposes the substrate, while the remaining area is still covered by the photoresist; step A6: depositing a metal film on the surface of the special-shaped workpiece after photolithography; step A7: using a lift-off process to remove the metal and photoresist in the non-marked area to form the final metal alignment mark and angle deviation detection mark.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, the metal film is a Cr film with a thickness of 100 nm.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the photoresist used in the process of the workpiece layer alignment mark and the angle deviation detection mark is a negative photoresist with a thickness of 0.0001 mm.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, the present application accordingly provides a multi-layer collaborative overlay alignment method for special-shaped workpieces, which uses the alignment system proposed in the present application to perform subsequent multiple overlay alignments. The overlay alignment method includes the following steps: Step B1: Initial coarse alignment: Adjust the relative position of the alignment mark and angle offset detection mark of the special-shaped fixture layer and the alignment mark of the photolithography mask layer; Step B2: Fine alignment: Use the alignment mark of the special-shaped workpiece layer to accurately align with the alignment mark of the photolithography mask layer; Step B3: Angle deviation correction: Use the angle offset detection marks on the photolithography mask and the special-shaped workpiece to detect and correct the rotation angle deviation; Step B4: Iterative optimization: Achieve the optimal alignment effect by fine-tuning the relative position of the alignment marks of the special-shaped workpiece layer and the photolithography mask layer for multiple times.

[0063] Specifically, the initial coarse alignment step includes adjusting the longitudinal vertical, transverse horizontal, longitudinal horizontal and rotation axis parameters of the four-dimensional displacement stage of the exposure machine; the initial coarse alignment step includes checking whether the center of the alignment mark on the photolithography mask is located at the center of the alignment mark on the special-shaped fixture; the fine alignment step includes checking whether the center of the alignment mark on the special-shaped workpiece is located at the center of the alignment mark on the photolithography mask; the angle deviation correction step includes checking whether the angle offset detection mark on the special-shaped workpiece has an angle with the angle offset detection mark on the photolithography mask.

[0064] Furthermore, the initial coarse alignment result is that the center of the alignment mark on the photolithography mask is located at the center of the alignment mark on the shaped fixture; the fine alignment result is that the center of the alignment mark on the shaped workpiece is located at the center of the alignment mark on the photolithography mask; the angle deviation correction result is that the angle offset detection mark on the shaped workpiece coincides with the angle offset detection mark on the photolithography mask without any angle.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, the mark on the special-shaped fixture is processed by a milling cutter. This processing method makes the edge of the upper mark unclear. When performing rough alignment, the center of the alignment mark is used for alignment. If the center of the upper mark does not coincide with the center of the lower mark, the horizontal level, vertical level and rotation axis parameters of the four-dimensional displacement stage of the mobile exposure machine are adjusted so that all the marks on the upper layer are located in the center area of ​​the corresponding marks on the lower layer, and the corresponding edges of the upper and lower marks are parallel. See Figure 3 .

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, during fine alignment, the center and edge of the alignment mark are used for alignment, and the lateral and longitudinal parameters of the four-dimensional displacement stage of the exposure machine are moved so that all marks on the upper layer are located in the central area of ​​the corresponding marks on the lower layer.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, when the angle deviation detection mark on the special-shaped workpiece and the angle deviation detection mark on the photolithography mask plate generate a rotation angle deflection, see Figure 4 , by adjusting the rotation axis parameters of the four-dimensional displacement stage of the exposure machine, it has no rotation angle deflection, and the corresponding edges of the upper and lower layer marks are parallel.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, during the iterative optimization process, the parameters of the four-dimensional displacement stage of the exposure machine are adjusted, the special-shaped fixture is moved, the special-shaped workpiece is driven to move, and the relative positions of the alignment marks of the special-shaped workpiece layer and the lithography mask layer are fine-tuned to achieve the optimal alignment effect.

[0069] In this embodiment, the same special-shaped workpiece can be photolithographically processed through multiple masks, and the photolithographic process of each partial structure is performed in steps through different masks, and the result is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0070] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. It should be noted that the above described embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the claims.
