Abstract

The demand for accurate and sub-nanometer precise overlay measurements in semiconductor industry increases with the shrinking feature sizes in integrated circuits. Overlay, the lateral displacement between two layers allows monitoring the chip fabrication process and is part of an import feedback step. In our approach, a digital holographic microscope measures the complex field of the overlay target using simple optics and an additional reference beam. The measured complex valued field allows us to apply computational algorithms to correct for field-position dependent lens aberrations in a computational efficient manner. We present experimental results that show the capability of our computational aberration correction in the visible and near infrared wavelength regimes.
