ALIGNMENT SYSTEM WAFER STACK BEAM ANALYZER

An alignment system obtains the characteristics of the light coming back from a wafer stack. A beam analyzer measures changes in wavelength, polarization, and beam profile. This measured information allows for in-line process variation corrections. The correction provides optical monitoring of indiv...

More Information
Summary:An alignment system obtains the characteristics of the light coming back from a wafer stack. A beam analyzer measures changes in wavelength, polarization, and beam profile. This measured information allows for in-line process variation corrections. The correction provides optical monitoring of individual mark stack variations, and in turn provides information to reduce individual mark process variation-induced accuracy error.
