20110102760 | ALIGNMENT METHOD FOR SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING - A method provides improved alignment for a photolithographic exposure. In such method, a first exposure tool and a first chuck used in a reference photolithographic exposure of a first material layer on a substrate can be identified. The substrate typically includes at least a semiconductor layer. The first chuck typically is one of a plurality of chucks usable with the first exposure tool. The method may further include identifying a second exposure tool and a second chuck used in a current photolithographic exposure of a second material layer on the substrate. In one embodiment, alignment correction information specific to each of the identified first exposure tool, the first chuck, the second exposure tool and the second chuck can be used in aligning the semiconductor substrate to a second exposure tool and a second chuck. In one embodiment, such method can compensate for alignment error caused by differences between the first and second exposure tools, between the first and second chucks, or between the first and second exposure tools and between the first and second chucks. | 05-05-2011 |
