METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LITHOGRAPHIC PROCESS PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION

A method for characterizing a patterning process, the method including obtaining a plurality of values of stitching errors made along one or more boundaries between at least two patterned adjacent fields or sub-fields on a substrate; and fitting, using a hardware computer system, a distortion model...

Zusammenfassung:A method for characterizing a patterning process, the method including obtaining a plurality of values of stitching errors made along one or more boundaries between at least two patterned adjacent fields or sub-fields on a substrate; and fitting, using a hardware computer system, a distortion model to the plurality of values to obtain a fingerprint representing deformation of a field or sub-field out of the at least two patterned adjacent fields or sub-fields.
