ABSTRACT:
The present process makes use of at least two pairs of supplementary marks used for evaluating the relative dimensional distortions of the mask and the wafer, apart from three pairs of alignment marks respectively inscribed on a mask and a wafer disposed in parallel and in proximity relationship. Each pair of marks comprises a Fresnel zone lens and a broken line forming a grating with a constant spacing. Following alignment with the aid of the alignment marks, the supplementary marks are used for determining the amplitude of the distortions. The source - mask distance is adjusted to compensate the linear distortions and the positioning of the mask is adjusted to compensate the non-linear distortions.
