What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOverlay measurement systems are metrology tools used to measure the positional relationship between patterns formed in different lithography levels on a wafer. Overlay measurement systems typically inspect dedicated targets and calculate misregistration between layers so process engineers can monitor alignment performance and feed corrections back to lithography control.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOverlay metrology sits alongside lithography process control in wafer fabrication. Overlay measurement is typically performed after patterning steps so engineers can verify layer to layer alignment before subsequent processing compounds any registration error.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOverlay measurement systems are used in semiconductor manufacturing to control alignment accuracy between successive patterned layers. Overlay data supports process monitoring, excursion detection, and adjustment of lithography alignment behavior across product wafers and monitor wafers.
