ABSTRACT:
A prediction model for exposure dose is indicated by the following formula, E=E0+EC, wherein E represents an optimized exposure dose, E0represents a preset exposure dose of a process control system, and ECrepresents an exposure dose compensation value, andin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?EC=[(MTTdiff/X)/(CDmask/X)]×(ES/A′)×(Wlast+Wavg),in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?wherein MTTdiffrepresents the differences between the MTT value of a previous lot and the MTT value of a next lot, CDmaskrepresents the actual critical dimension of the mask, X represents the magnification of the mask, ESrepresents the actual exposure dose of a previous lot, A′ represents an experimental value obtained from the results of different lots, Wlastrepresents the last batch of weights and Wavgrepresents an average weight, and CDmask, ES, A′, Wlastand Wavgare set parameters built into the process control system.
