WLCD 32 - Wafer-level CD Metrology on photomasks
The novel Metrology System WLCD measures critical dimensions (CD) at wafer level and at scanner wavelength with high throughput.
  • The system shortens mask qualification time significantly for both mask shops and wafer fabs.
  • By utilising high resolution 193 nm optics, the tool allows actinic CD metrology based on aerial imaging technology.
  • Use of scanner equivalent illumination settings captures the CD of the patterns as it is relevant for lithographic printing.
  • The system measures with high precision within either die, or scribe line and also provides high CD reproducibility and throughput to the user.
  • Large free working distance optics provides a through pellicle capability improving flexibility and allowing fast mask qualification.
  • Actinic measurement fully considers the effect of Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) allowing OPC model verification on your mask
  • Relaxes process control by actinic CD verification
