Abstract: A process flow (information) (260) has information about treatment of each process, a flow number of each the process, and information (270, 280) indicating whether an execution order of each the process is adjustable. Either of the order adjustable information (270) to indicate that the execution order is adjustable and the order unadjustable information (280) to indicate that the execution order is unadjustable, is supplied to each the process in the flag status, for example. Under a production management system (200), extraction means (220) extracts, by referring to the process flow (260), order adjustable processes each being unexecuted and having the order adjustable information (270), and adjustment means (230) adjusts the execution order of the extracted processes.

Abstract: A cassette usage rule processing function 66 is used to store usage rules on cassettes for containing wafers. A process flow creation function 72 permits creation of reviewable process flows. A process flow check function 74 provides checks on whether the reviewable process flows comply with the cassette usage rules, and supplies only the conforming process flows to a production line. In each process, a processing condition display function 82 displays the applicable cassette usage rules for review by a line operator. If cassettes need to be changed before or after a process, a process start function 84 or a process end function 86 prompts the line operator to change the cassettes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing order control, in which a load of an examination work to review a processing order of lots is reduced and all the lot flows are conditioned so as to move at an almost constant speed with the result that not only can accuracy in scheduling of delivery and so on be improved but degradation of the lot flows is also prevented from occurring in advance. A proper number R of in-process lots and others are obtained and lots are stacked before each of apparatuses so as to be equal in number to the proper number R of in-process lots, thereby a target of the number Cg of processing processes can be achieved.

Abstract: A manufacturing system for a semiconductor device manages a lower pattern (100) corresponding to a pattern (200) in the semiconductor device and the rotation of the lower pattern (100) from the position of a reference axis ±0 to the position of a central axis of the pattern (100). The manufacturing system generates a stepper correction value including the rotation of the lower pattern (100) to determine the position of the pattern (200) and gives the stepper correction value to a stepper. With the stepper correction value, it is possible to prevent any shear out of specification between the upper and lower patterns. Thus, a method for correcting alignment and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, by which any shear is prevented, can be provided.

Abstract: A method of correcting alignment with high alignment precision is provided. A mean value of true shears of the past (true shears for data numbers i=1 to 4) is determined. A difference (VA1) between the immediately preceding true shear (for the data number i=1) and the two-cycle previous true shear (for the data number i=2) is calculated. The product (VA2) of the true shear difference (VA1) and a constant value is calculated. Adding the product (VA2) to the mean value to determine a predicted stepper correction value (Pr1). A stepper set value is determined based on the predicted stepper correction value (Pr1).

Abstract: An alignment correction method which can obtain proper correction values and a semiconductor device fabricated through this alignment method are obtained. An alignment correction part (6a) calculates a stepper correction value which is set in a stepper (4a) in next alignment from trends of true shift amounts obtained from a plurality of types of processes. The true shift amount, which is the difference between stepper correction value set in the stepper and overlay check correction values detected by overlay checking devices, is actual shift amount upon alignment. The number of the true shift amounts obtained from the plurality of types of processes is larger than that of true shift amounts obtained from a single process. Thus, a trend of the true shift amounts is proper, whereby a correction value set in the stepper for the next alignment becomes proper.
