ABSTRACT:
A system for precisely measuring layer-to-layer mis-registration is provided. The system includes a new type of mark and a comparison system, which compare the right and left signals from the mark to eliminate non-alignment noise, to enlarge the alignment information hundreds times then the actual shiftiness between two layers and to measure the mis-registration.
