| description | A method for improving alignment in a photolithography machine is provided. The method comprises identifying first empirical alignment data that has been determined from use of a target photomask within at least one non-target tool, and identifying second empirical alignment data that has been determined from use of a non-target photomask within a target tool. The method continues by identifying third empirical alignment data that has been determined from use of a non-target photomask within at least one non-target tool, and calculating from the first, second, and third empirical alignment data a predicted alignment data for the target photomask with the target tool. The method then proceeds by aligning the target photomask within the target tool using the predicted alignment data, exposing a pattern from the target photomask onto the wafer in the target tool, and further processing the exposed wafer. |
