Abstract: Method and system for calibrating exposure system for manufacturing of integrated circuits. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determining one or more focus parameters for an exposure system. As an example, the exposure system is used for forming patterns on semiconductor wafer. The method includes a step for providing a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is characterized by a diameter. The method also includes a step for forming a plurality of patterns using the exposure system on the semiconductor wafer. As an example, each of the plurality of patterns being associated with a focus reference value (e.g., focus distance, focus angle, etc.). The method additionally includes a step for determining a plurality of shift profiles, and each of the shift profile is associated one of the plurality of patterns.
