  • Patent number: 8589828
    Abstract: A method for reducing layer overlay errors by synchronizing the density of mask material in the frame area across the masks in a set is disclosed. An exemplary method includes creating a mask design database corresponding to a mask and containing a die area with one or more dies and a frame area outside the die area. Fiducial features within the frame area are identified, and from the fiducial features, an idle frame area is identified. A reference mask design, which corresponds to a reference mask configured to be aligned with the mask, is used to determine a reference density for the idle frame area. The idle frame area of the mask design database is modified to correspond to the reference density. The modified mask design database is then available for further use including manufacturing the mask.

  • Patent number: 7924405
    Abstract: A method for lithography patterning includes providing a mask for photolithography patterning; measuring a mask flatness of the mask; calculating focal deviation of imaging the mask to a substrate in a lithography apparatus; adjusting the lithography apparatus to have a compensated focal plane of the mask based on the focal deviation; and exposing the semiconductor substrate utilizing the mask and the lithography apparatus with adjusted focal plane.

  • Publication number: 20050125763
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for creating a reticle field layout (RFL). In one example, the method includes receiving information for a RFL design by a computer system directly from a user via a computer interface. The RFL design is automatically verified using predefined specification and design rules accessible to the computer system. The RFL design may be modified by adding additional features before being finalized.
