  • Publication number: 20240178038
    Abstract: An overlay measurement device for measuring an error between a first overlay mark and a second overlay mark respectively formed on different layers of a wafer, includes: a light source; an objective lens that concentrates a beam from the light source on a measurement position of the wafer, and gathers the beam being reflected in the measurement positon; a lens focus actuator that adjusts a distance between the objective lens and the wafer such that a focus surface is placed at the first overlay mark or the second overlay mark; an auto focus module that adjusts a focus by adjusting the lens focus actuator; a detector for obtaining an image of the first overlay mark or an image of the second overlay mark; a transmission and receipt part; and a processor connecting to the transmission and receipt part electrically.

  • Publication number: 20240176251
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that records a data structure for storing data controlling an operation of an overlay measurement device that measures an error between a first overlay mark and a second overlay mark formed on different layers of a wafer. The data include: information of a recipe that is input to allow the overlay measurement device to measure characteristics of a wafer through a manager program installed in a user terminal, and unique information of the overlay measurement device. The overlay measurement device includes: a light source, an aperture that changes a beam from the light source to be suitable for photographing the first overlay mark or the second overlay mark, a detector that acquires an image of the first overlay mark and an image of the second overlay mark, a transceiver, and a processor electrically connected to the transceiver.
