What it is

The ASML YieldStar S 100 is an overlay measurement system.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay measurement tools compare the registration of a newly patterned layer with the registration of a previously patterned layer on the same wafer.

The comparison is made using small target marks that are printed into both layers during exposure.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay measurement is performed after a resist layer has been exposed and developed, before the pattern is transferred into the underlying film.

The measured wafers are normally a sample drawn from a production lot rather than the entire lot.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay measurement is used to monitor and control pattern alignment during integrated circuit fabrication.

The technique supports multiple patterning schemes, where a single device layer is defined by more than one lithography exposure.
