Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a simple measurement with good cost efficiency to be performed by converting the image of a repeat overlay mark into a phase image by an image processor, and analyzing the phase difference between repeat overlay marks on different levels in overlay measurement. SOLUTION: A digitizer 43 digitizes a first photo to generate a first digitized image. The digitizer 43 digitizes a second photo to generate an image. A Fourier transformer 45 transforms the second digitized image to a second geometric spectrum or a phase image. A phase comparator 48 calculates a phae difference between the first and second geometric spectra to measure alignment between two levels on a wafer 33. The digitizer 43 generates respective digitized images from a first and second portions of the photo. A signal processor 45 transforms the first and second digitized images to first and second geometric spectra. The phase comparator 48 calculates a phase difference between two geometric spectra to execute alignment measurement.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for shrinking an area for a fuse to occupy on a semiconductor tip, and to adjust a fuse resistance relative to a fuse of a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: A fuse for a semiconductor is formed, so as to have a substrate 12 having a conductive passage disposed on its surface, a dielectric layer 14 disposed on the substrate, and a vertical fuse 110 vertically disposed on the surface. The vertical fuse penetrates through the dielectric layer 14 and is connected to the conductive passage. The vertical fuse also has a hole 108, a liner material is disposed on its vertical surface, and the fuse is cut off with fusing of the liner material along the vertical surface.
