Importance of chip feature on writing result
Requirements of chip feature
• Straight and smooth cutting edge
• Square shape with orthogonal angles
• For overlay writing, patterns of previous layer should be located at the center of chip
Page 12
3. Requirements of overlay writing
• Feature of Global and Chip alignment marks
• Positions of Global and Chip alignment marks

5. Requirements of pattern design
• File format, pattern sizes and pattern area
• Pattern samples
Page 18
Requirements of pattern
Pattern sizes and file format
• File format: GDSII
• Total number of vertex point per polygon 600 ≦
• Pattern sizes(line width or gap size) 100nm≧
• Pattern Complexity ↑, file conversion time ↑
Page 19
Requirements of pattern
Pattern sizes and file format
• Problems of larger exposure area i, long writing timeii, high risk of field stitching error due to laboratory temperature fluctuation
