Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional detection of CD uniformity is by designing additional specific detection patterns on the mask plate, and then measuring the specific detection patterns, but due to space constraints, the number of these specific detection patterns is very limited, and sometimes it cannot monitor the CD well. Uniformity, especially the uniformity of local CD
If there is a problem with the uniformity of the CD of the mask, it will largely affect the uniformity of the CD on the wafer, which in turn will affect the product yield

Abstract

The invention provides a method for monitoring critical sizes of mask plates. The method includes formulating detection rules for the mask plates by the aid of wafer factories and providing the detection rules to mask plate manufacturers; detecting the critical sizes of the mask plates by the aid of the mask plate manufacturers according to the detection rules and feeding detection results to thewafer factories; detecting critical sizes of corresponding wafers by the aid of the wafer factories and confirming whether the critical sizes of the wafers meet requirements of manufacture proceduresor not. The method has the advantages that the uniformity of the global and local critical sizes of the mask plates can be effectively monitored and improved by the aid of the method, so that the uniformity of critical sizes of wafer products can be ultimately improved, and the yield of the products can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a method for integrating hot spots in photolithography process. Background technique [0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, integrated circuits with various functions are formed on the semiconductor wafer through a series of processes such as photolithography, etching, doping, film deposition, planarization, and cleaning. The lithography of the heterogeneous area plays a very important role. Due to the needs of the design and manufacturing process, the photolithography process is divided into many process levels, correspondingly requiring many photolithography masks to complete different pattern transfers. [0003] The photolithography mask, also known as photolithography mask or photomask, is a glass substrate that is selectively transparent to exposure light. The quality of the mask greatly affects the transfer of the pattern of the mask to the ...
