Embodiment
In order to make the purpose of this utility model, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the utility model is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the utility model, and be not used in qualification the utility model.
Among the utility model embodiment, on mask, make development precision control icon, include one or more groups scale mark in this development precision control icon, every group of scale mark is by live width that increasing or decreasing changes in proper order and the uniform scale mark pattern of live width is formed, and finally realizes controlling the development precision by the development degree of monitoring scale mark pattern in this scale mark.
Fig. 2 shows the development precision control icon of the mask that the utility model first embodiment provides, this development precision control icon includes first group of scale mark 1, first group of scale mark 1 is made up of one group of scale mark pattern, the live width of each scale mark pattern in first group of scale mark 1 is successively from top to bottom and increases progressively variation, can certainly be set to the variation of successively decreasing, each scale mark pattern form wherein can be rectangle, also can be the uniform pattern of other live widths, as live width uniform curve etc.When to through overexposure, when the mask that is coated with photoresists is carried out development treatment, can be by the development degree change of desired live width in first group of scale mark 1 of vision monitoring, judge the development degree that mask is current, for example suppose the scale mark pattern that the rectangle scale mark pattern 11 among Fig. 1 develops for expectation, rectangle scale mark pattern 12,13 live width respectively less than with live width greater than rectangle scale mark pattern 11, and photoresists are positive-working photoresist, if the maximum line width of the scale mark pattern of the current image that can develop is less than the live width of rectangle scale mark pattern 11, for example have only rectangle scale mark pattern 12 and live width less than the scale mark pattern of rectangle scale mark pattern 12 image that can develop, the lines that then show layout in the mask do not develop fully, and promptly mask is underdevelop; If the maximum line width of the scale mark pattern of the current image that can develop is greater than the live width of rectangle scale mark pattern 11, for example rectangle scale mark pattern 13 and live width are less than the scale mark pattern of rectangle scale mark pattern 13 image that can develop, the lines development degree that then shows layout in the mask has exceeded needs, i.e. the mask overdevelop.
Among the utility model embodiment, can learn the development degree of mask by the development degree of scale mark pattern in the monitoring scale mark, and then realization is to the control of mask development precision, and no longer need according to the variation of solution level development time to be controlled, or keep the constant concentration of developer solution, realize simple and alleviated cost pressure.
