Specifically, in traversal marker, the first long label 10 and the first short label 20 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal, wherein, two A first short label 20 is arranged among two the first long labels 10, between the first long label 10 and the adjacent first short label 20 Distance for 0.944 μm, and between two the first adjacent short labels 20 be about 3 μm.First long label 10 and adjacent first The grating of short label 20 is opposite and opposite, that is, the raster-like of 1 the first long label 10 and the adjacent first short label 20 is labeled as When opposite, another 1 the first long label 10 is with the raster-like of the adjacent first short label 20 labeled as opposite.
In the label of longitudinal direction, the second long label 30 and the second short label 40 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal, wherein, it is two second short Label 40 is arranged among two the second long labels 30, and the distance between the second long label 30 and the adjacent second short label 40 are 0.944 μm, and between two the second adjacent short labels 40 it is about 3 μm.Second long label 30 and the adjacent second short label 40 Grating be opposite and opposite, that is, the raster-like of 1 the second long label 30 and the adjacent second short label 40 labeled as it is opposite when, Another 1 the second long label 30 is with the raster-like of the adjacent second short label 40 labeled as opposite.
In one embodiment, the width of the first long label 10 is 2 ± 0.4 μm, generally 1.965 μm.
In one embodiment, the width of the first short label 20 is 2 ± 0.4 μm, general 1.965 μm.
In one embodiment, the width of the first long rectangle is 1 ± 0.2 μm, generally 0.983 μm.
In one embodiment, the first raster-like label 102 includes multiple small rectangles, and the width of the small rectangle is 0.08 The distance between ± 0.01 μm, generally 0.082 μm, multiple small rectangles are 0.08 ± 0.01 μm, generally 0.082 μm.
In one embodiment, the length of the first long label 10 is 18 ± 2 μm, generally 18.489 μm.
In one embodiment, the distance between the first long label 10 and the described first short label 20 of arranged adjacent are 1 ± 0.2 μm, generally 0.944 μm.
In one embodiment, the length of the first short label 20 is 6 ± 1 μm, generally 6.163 μm.
In one embodiment, the raster-like of the first long label 10 and the described first short label 20 of arranged adjacent marks phase Pair or it is opposite.
In one embodiment, the raster-like of the second long label 30 and the described second short label 40 of arranged adjacent marks phase Pair or it is opposite.
Based on above-mentioned all embodiments, use above-mentioned overlay mark extrapolate the process of the position of focus for:
Normal overlay mark be all it is solid, no picture must under inclined situation, with focus toward just or toward it is negative when, Alignment offset is forever close to 0.Therefore, after focal shift, user can not know whether focus finds according to alignment offset Offset.
Incorporated by reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
And the half of overlay mark is solid rectangle marked in the present invention, half is the raster-like mark of more item compositions Note, it is undeformed with raster-like label that the condition of focus alignment is rectangle marked, at this point, alignment offset is close to 0.And in alignment Mark no picture must be under inclined situation, but as focus is toward just or toward negative, raster-like label will appear apparent deformation, such as The small rectangle width of raster-like label is no longer equal, meanwhile, alignment offset also significantly increases, incorporated by reference to Fig. 4.In pinpointed focus During position, close to 0, and at suboptimum focal position, alignment offset just can significantly differentiate alignment offset, and polarization or When partially negative, alignment offset just becomes apparent from, and focus at this time can be determined and occur in time by being conducive to alignment board or user Offset.And then the position of focus alignment can be extrapolated according to the result of alignment offset.
Based on above-mentioned all embodiments, overlay mark is covered with entire photoetching field, e.g., scan-type litho machine resolution chart, Scan-type litho machine interlocking graphics, stepper resolution chart, stepper interlocking graphics etc., can quickly and Accurately obtain optimal focus position.
It is multiple first long labels 10, multiple second long labels 30, more in the overlay mark of above-mentioned alignment board test focus A first short label 20 is marked with the multiple second short labels 40 using half using rectangle marked and raster-like so that raster-like Mark the compound token with rectangle marked when focus is best, the compound token central point of alignment board identification is in center. Therefore, there is no picture must be under inclined situation in the figure layer with overlay mark, focus aligned condition is alignment offset close to 0, But as focus is toward just or toward bearing, alignment offset can significantly increase, deviating measurement according to alignment can extrapolate The position of focus alignment.
Each technical characteristic of embodiment described above can be combined arbitrarily, to make description succinct, not to above-mentioned reality It applies all possible combination of each technical characteristic in example to be all described, as long as however, the combination of these technical characteristics is not deposited In contradiction, it is all considered to be the range of this specification record.
Embodiment described above only expresses the several embodiments of the present invention, and description is more specific and detailed, but simultaneously It cannot therefore be construed as limiting the scope of the patent.It should be pointed out that those of ordinary skill in the art are come It says, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, various modifications and improvements can be made, these belong to the protection of the present invention Range.Therefore, the protection domain of patent of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
