Abstract: An electro-deposition apparatus deposits a first pattern of a lithographic mask. The electro-deposition apparatus then deposits a second pattern of the lithographic mask, at least partially offset from the first pattern. The resulting lithographic mask includes a first pattern having a minimum feature resolution size and maximum pitch, and a second pattern having the same minimum feature resolution size and maximum pitch. The first pattern and second pattern are at least partially offset such that a fractional portion of the second pattern is realized and light transmission is more precisely controlled.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of performing SEM overlay metrology with scan direction substantially aligned with or parallel to feature placement or patterning of overlay target structures. By scanning target structures in the same or similar direction to the feature placement, blurring at the edges of interest is avoided and a line-to-line or edge-to-edge offset between pattern elements is less susceptible to error from blurring at scanned edges of interest. For example, at least two linear pattern elements corresponding to at least two sample layers may be scanned along or parallel to the direction of feature placement (i.e., along or parallel to long edges of the pattern elements).
