    • Novel overlay targets and an algorithm metrology are provided that minimize the overlay measurement error for fabricating integrated circuits. The method is particularly useful for accurately measuring layer-to-layer overlay on a substrate having material layers, such insulating, polysilicon, and metal layers that have asymmetric profiles over the overlay targets resulting from asymmetric deposition or chemical/mechanically polishing. The novel method involves forming a triangular-shaped first overlay target in a first material layer on a substrate. A second material layer, having the asymmetric profile is formed over the first material layer. During patterning of the second material layer, smaller triangular-shaped second overlay target are etched. The vertices of the smaller second overlay targets are aligned to the midpoints of the sides of the first overlay target, which are less sensitive to the asymmetries in the second material layer. An algorithm is then used to determine the positions of the centroids of the first and second overlay targets, which coincide with perfect alignment. The distance between the two centroids is the degree of layer-to-layer misalignment of the two material layers.
    • 提供了新的覆盖目标和算法计量,可最大限度地减少用于制造集成电路的覆盖测量误差。 该方法特别适用于在具有材料层的衬底上精确测量层间覆盖层,这种绝缘层,多晶硅层和金属层在由不对称沉积或化学/机械抛光产生的覆盖目标上具有不对称分布。 该新方法涉及在基底上的第一材料层中形成三角形的第一覆盖目标。 具有不对称轮廓的第二材料层形成在第一材料层上。 在第二材料层的图案化期间,蚀刻较小的三角形的第二覆盖靶。 较小的第二覆盖目标的顶点与第一覆盖目标的边的中点对准,其对第二材料层中的不对称性较不敏感。 然后使用算法来确定第一和第二覆盖目标的质心的位置,其与完美对准重合。 两个质心之间的距离是两层材料层的层间失准程度。
