Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving overlay mark detection precision, and the method comprises the following steps: placing a to-be-detected wafer in an overlay measurement system, the to-be-detected wafer comprises a plurality of chips, each chip is provided with an overlay mark, a chip is used as a reference chip, and a preset number of chips are used as to-be-detected chips; a template image is obtained based on the reference chip, the template image comprises a pattern of the overlay mark, and the pattern of the overlay mark is located in the center of the template image. And acquiring a center coordinate of an overlay mark in the to-be-detected chip based on the template image. And the wafer to be measured is moved to a detection position based on the center coordinate, and at the detection position, the overlay mark of the chip to be measured is located at the center position of the view field of the overlay measurement system. According to the method, the detection accuracy can be effectively improved, the requirement for the experience degree of detection personnel is low, operation is easy, robustness is high, and applicability is high.
