Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an overlay that allows for the characterization of wafer-induced shift without the added risk of low wafer yield. The present invention also relates to a method of quanitifying both wafer-induced shift and tool-induced shift in the field of photolithgraphy. By chararacterizing wafer-induced shift in an artifact wafer, tool-induced shift may be determined by use of the characterized wafer.
