Zusammenfassung:1. Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to a method of performing alignment during processing of a semiconductor device. The method is comprised of: performing alignment registration on a plurality of layers on said semiconductor device; measuring misregistration of said alignment registration in relation to a predetermined standard alignment key; and generating an offset for a subsequent process layer on said semiconductor using said measure misregistration.
