  • Patent number: 7957828
    Abstract: In the present invention, the line widths within a substrate of an etching pattern are measured for a substrate for which photolithography processing and an etching treatment thereafter have been finished. The line width measurement results are converted into the line widths of a resist pattern using relational expressions which have been obtained in advance. From the converted line widths of the resist pattern, coefficients of a polynomial function indicating variations within the substrate are calculated. Next, a function between line width correction amounts for the resist pattern and temperature correction values is used to calculate temperature correction values for the regions of the thermal plate to bring the coefficients of the polynomial function close to zero. Based on each of the calculated temperature correction values, the temperature for each of the regions is set.

  • Patent number: 7897897
    Abstract: In the present invention, a thermal plate of a PEB unit is divided into a plurality of thermal plate regions, and a temperature is settable for each of the thermal plate regions. A temperature correction value for adjusting the temperature within the thermal plate is settable for each of the thermal plate regions of the thermal plate. The line widths within the substrate which has been subjected to the photolithography process are measured, and an improvement in-plane tendency Za improved by change of the temperature settings is subtracted from an in-plane tendency Z of the measured line widths within the substrate to calculate an in-plane tendency Zb of the line widths within the substrate after change of temperature settings. The improvement in-plane tendency Za is calculated using the following expression. Za=?1×?×MT (?: a resist heat sensitivity, M: a calculation model, and T: temperature correction values for thermal plate regions).
