Abstract

See full text

A method for predicting pattern critical dimensions in a lithographic exposure process includes defining relationships between critical dimension, defocus, and dose. The method also includes performing at least one exposure run in creating a pattern on a wafer. The method also includes creating a dose map. The method also includes creating a defocus map. The method also includes predicting pattern critical dimensions based on the relationships, the dose map, and the defocus map.
