摘要
Stepper related contributions to the overlay budget, such as alignment accuracy and displacements during pattern replication were investigated. By improving the alignment system, a value of 70 nm (mean + 3-sigma) was realized. Displacement errors induced by the stepper mechanism during pattern replication found to be in the range of 35 nm (3-sigma). This value was improved using a wafer chuck with high flatness. Summerizing the results, the total overlay contribution of the stepper (including alignment) is 75 nm (mean + 3-sigma).
