    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus that do not take much time in substrate scanning for substrate lineup and substrate identification to be performed for application treatment selection, and that do not require extra space on a substrate to attach an identification code in the case where a multiple lithography apparatus is used for multilayer IC production. SOLUTION: The positions of a lineup mark P1 and a reference mark P2 on a substrate W, or those of two markers of a circuit form are measured by a sensor MS, and the distance between the two is calculated by an identification unit IU. Then, comparison is made between the calculated values and the predetermined values stored in MEM1 and MEM2 to identify the substrate. Otherwise, a treatment process applied to this substrate is decided, or the lineup values of this system is automatically adjusted, and so on. As the sensor MS can read both sides of the substrate W, these markers can be arranged either on the frontal side or rear side of the substrate W, and the markers can be arranged on a scribe lane as well. In this way, the effective area of the substrate for IC production is not reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently characterizing similarity between measurement values of a plurality of entities.
    SOLUTION: The method for characterizing similarity between the measurement values of a plurality of entities including the first entity and the second entity includes a step for receiving measurement values taken at a plurality of measurement points in each entity. A model provided with a probability process, a set of parameters and a model function having values depending on the measurement points is defined. Then a set (β) of parameters is estimated by fitting the model function to the measurement values. In a succeeding step, residual data are determined at least on a part of the plurality of measurement points for the first entity and the second entity by subtracting the fitted function from the measurement values. Then, a correlation coefficient of the first entity (i') and the second entity (i") is estimated based on the determined residual data and the estimated correlation coefficient is used to characterize the similarity between the measurement values. In the method, the model is defined so that the residual data are expected to have a deterministic component for controlling an estimation value of the correlation coefficient depending on the measurement points. The correlation coefficient is estimated by using an estimation value of an entity average residual averaged by the measurement points of the first entity and an estimation value of an entity average residual averaged by the measurement points of the second entity.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device manufacturing method that improves the yield.
    SOLUTION: Deformation of a substrate wafer is measured by comparing positions of a plurality of reference marks with values of a data base after their exposure and process step. For taking into consideration the measured deformation and the compared results in step S1, the development step of an exposure and development step S2 is controlled using the feedforward loop. Then, a position alignment measurement step S3 is performed, in which the alignment relationship between the continuing two layers deposited on the substrate W during consecutive cycles is measured. If the positional control of a latest layer with respect to its preceding layer is insufficient, the latest layer is removed and a new layer is deposited.
