Misalignment management

A method of determining overlay error between a template and a substrate using placement of template features and placement of substrate features in one or more images. Estimated distortion of the template and/or substrate may be determined using the overlay error. One or more forces acting on the t...

Zusammenfassung:A method of determining overlay error between a template and a substrate using placement of template features and placement of substrate features in one or more images. Estimated distortion of the template and/or substrate may be determined using the overlay error. One or more forces acting on the template and/or substrate may be varied based on the estimated distortion for subsequent nano-lithography imprinting. Additionally, bias may be introduced in subsequent imprinting steps based on overlay performance.
