ABSTRACT:
A method of identifying individual semiconductor devices with a unique inscription during the manufacturing process for the semiconductor devices. Each individual semiconductor device is marked during a final lithographic stepping exposure with a direct write laser mounted either in the stepper in the lithographic system working concurrently with the stepping fields during the final metal layer lithographic stepping exposure or during a post stepping pre-development treatment. The marking on the devices includes device identification, lot number and die number.
