    摘要: A method includes performing a semiconductor fabrication process on a plurality of substrates. The plurality of substrates are divided into a first subset and a second subset. A rework process is performed on the second subset of the plurality of substrates but not on the first subset. A respective mean value of at least one exposure parameter for a lithography process is computed for each respective one of the first and second subsets of the plurality of substrates. A scanner overlay correction and a mean correction are applied to expose a second plurality of substrates on which the rework process has been performed. The mean correction is based on the computed mean values.

    摘要: A method of processing first and second semiconductor wafers is provided. Each of the first and second semiconductor wafers has a first layer and a second layer over the first layer. A first lithographic process is performed on the first layer over the first semiconductor wafer using a first inter-field correction and a first intra-field correction. An overlay error of the first lithographic process is determined. A second inter-field correction and a second intra-field correction are computed based on the first inter-field correction, the first intra-field correction, and the measured overlay error. A second lithographic process is performed on the second layer over the second semiconductor wafer, based on the second inter-field correction and the second intra-field correction.
