20090153861 | Alignment Method, Alignment System, and Product with Alignment Mark - The position of a product is measured using an alignment mark on the product. Radiation is transmitted towards the alignment mark and diffracted by a pattern in the alignment mark. Position information is determined from phase relations of the diffracted radiation. The alignment mark comprises a set of mutually parallel conductor tracks from which the diffracted radiation is collected, the pattern being defined by a pattern of variation of the pitch between successive tracks as a function of position along the surface of the product. Thus, for example the pattern comprises alternating first and second areas wherein the pitch has a first and second value, respectively. Because the tracks in the different parts of the pattern, such as the first and second areas, are parallel to each other improved measurements are possible. | 06-18-2009 |

Each first element has a first periodic sub-structure with a first sub-pitch and each second element has a second periodic sub-structure with second sub-pitch. An optical property of the first element for interaction with a beam of radiation having a wavelength λ is different from the optical property of the second element.

20110273685 | PRODUCTION OF AN ALIGNMENT MARK - A method of production of alignment marks uses a self-aligned double patterning process. An alignment mark pattern is provided with first and second sub-segmented elements. After selecting the dipolar illumination orientation, dipole-X is used to illuminate the pattern and to image the first elements on the wafer, but not the second elements. Alternatively, dipole-Y is used to illuminate the pattern and to image the second elements on the wafer, but not the first elements. In either case, self-aligned double patterning processing may then be performed to produce product-like alignment marks with high contrast and wafer quality (WQ). Subsequently the X and Y alignment marks thus produced are used for the step of alignment in a lithographic process. | 11-10-2011 |

20120133938 | MEASURING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SUBSTRATE - A pattern formed on a substrate includes first and second sub-patterns positioned adjacent one another and having respective first and second periodicities. The pattern is observed to obtain a combined signal which includes a beat component having a third periodicity at a frequency lower than that of the first and second periodicities. A measurement of performance of the lithographic process is determined by reference to a phase of the beat component. Depending how the sub-patterns are formed, the performance parameter might be critical dimension (CD) or overlay, for example. For CD measurement, one of the sub-patterns may comprise marks each having of a portion sub-divided by product-like features. The measurement can be made using an existing alignment sensor of a lithographic apparatus. Sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement can be adjusted by selection of the first and second periodicities, and hence the third periodicity. | 05-31-2012 |
