Patent number: 11385554Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining a characteristic of interest, in particular focus, relating to a structure on a substrate formed by a lithographic process, and an associated patterning device and lithographic system. The method comprises forming a modified substrate feature on the substrate using a corresponding modified reticle feature on a patterning device, the modified substrate feature being formed for a primary function other than metrology, more specifically for providing a support for a vertically integrated structure. The modified reticle feature is such that said modified substrate feature is formed with a geometry dependent on the characteristic of interest during formation. The modified substrate feature can be measured to determine said characteristic of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Miguel Garcia Granda, Steven Erik Steen, Eric Jos Anton Brouwer, Bart Peter Bert Segers, Pierre-Yves Jerome Yvan Guittet, Frank Staals, Paulus Jacobus Maria Van Adrichem

Patent number: 11194258Abstract: A lithographic process is one that applies a desired pattern onto a substrate, usually onto a target portion of the substrate. During the lithographic process, the focus needs to be controlled. There is disclosed a method for determining a fingerprint of a performance parameter associated with a substrate, such as a focus value to be used during the lithographic process. A reference fingerprint of the performance parameter is determined for a reference substrate. A reference substrate parameter of the reference substrate is determined. A substrate parameter for a substrate, such as a substrate with product structures, is determined. Subsequently, the fingerprint of the performance parameter is determined based on the reference fingerprint, reference substrate parameter and the substrate parameter. The fingerprint may then be used to control the lithographic process.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Léon Maria Albertus Van Der Logt, Bart Peter Bert Segers, Simon Hendrik Celine Van Gorp, Carlo Cornelis Maria Luijten, Frank Staals

Patent number: 10895811Abstract: A lithographic apparatus prints a focus metrology pattern (T) on a substrate, the printed pattern including at least a first array of features (800). Features at any location within the array define a pattern that repeats at in at least a first direction of periodicity (X), while geometric parameters of the repeating pattern (w1, w3) vary over the array. A focus measurement is derived from measurements of the array at a selected subset of locations (ROI). As a result, the geometric parameters upon which the measurement of focus performance is based can be optimized by selection of locations within the array. The need to optimize geometric parameters of a target design on a reticle (MA) is reduced or eliminated. The measured property may be asymmetry, for example, and/or diffraction efficiency. The measured property for all locations may be captured by dark-field imaging, and a subset of locations selected after capture.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Miguel Garcia Granda, Elliott Gerard Mc Namara, Pierre-Yves Jerome Yvan Guittet, Eric Jos Anton Brouwer, Bart Peter Bert Segers
