Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a print quality test structure for devices manufactured by lithography. The test structure allows for visual inspection of the print quality of the device. The test structure decouples the effects of overexposure, underexposure and focus so that corrections can be made for future device manufacturing. By visually inspecting each device during lithography, devices of poor quality can be reworked, and costly testing on all devices can be avoided through device screening.
