在此實施例中,圖案111與112之間的該疊對誤差並不等於零。意即,圖案111與112沿著X方向、Y方向或其組合而具有一偏移。在一些實施例中,光學影像200c可包括輪廓221、222、213以及224。輪廓221可對應到一區域的一影像,而該區域沒有圖案111與112設置在中間結構130上。輪廓222可對應到一區域的一影像,而該區域之圖案112並未垂直地重疊圖案111。輪廓223可對應到一區域的一影像,而該區域之圖案111垂直地重疊圖案112。輪廓224可對應到一區域的一影像,而該區域之圖案111並未垂直地重疊圖案112。In this embodiment, the overlay error between patterns 111 and 112 is not equal to zero. That is, the patterns 111 and 112 have an offset along the X direction, the Y direction, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, optical image 200c may include contours 221, 222, 213, and 224. The outline 221 may correspond to an image of an area without the patterns 111 and 112 disposed on the intermediate structure 130 . The outline 222 may correspond to an image of an area where the pattern 112 does not vertically overlap the pattern 111 . The outline 223 may correspond to an image of an area where the pattern 111 vertically overlaps the pattern 112 . The outline 224 may correspond to an image of a region where the pattern 111 does not vertically overlap the pattern 112 .

在一些實施例中,輪廓221可呈現包括該第一波段(或波長)以及該第二波段(或波長)的一顏色。在一些實施例中,輪廓222可呈現包括該第一波段(或波長)的一顏色。在一些實施例中,與輪廓221、222或224相比,輪廓223可以呈現具有較低亮度的一顏色。在一些實施例中,輪廓224可呈現包括該第二波段(或波長)的一顏色。In some embodiments, outline 221 may exhibit a color that includes the first band (or wavelength) and the second band (or wavelength). In some embodiments, outline 222 may exhibit a color that includes the first band (or wavelength). In some embodiments, outline 223 may appear a color with lower brightness than outline 221, 222, or 224. In some embodiments, outline 224 may exhibit a color that includes the second band (or wavelength).

由於可改善圖案111、圖案112以及在光學影像200c中的圖案111與112之間的一疊對區域之間的對比,所以可更精確地計算該疊對誤差。Since the contrast between pattern 111, pattern 112, and an overlay area between patterns 111 and 112 in the optical image 200c can be improved, the overlay error can be calculated more accurately.

在此實施例中,圖案111與112之間的該疊對誤差等於零。意即,圖案111沿著X方向與Y方向而對準圖案112。在一些實施例中,光學影像200d可包括輪廓221與輪廓223。In this embodiment, the overlay error between patterns 111 and 112 is equal to zero. That is, the pattern 111 is aligned with the pattern 112 along the X direction and the Y direction. In some embodiments, the optical image 200d may include contours 221 and 223.

藉由計算輪廓223的面積,可確定該疊對誤差的程度。由於輪廓223可直接在此實施例中進行識別,所以可更精確地計算該疊對誤差。By calculating the area of contour 223, the extent of the overlay error can be determined. Since the contour 223 can be identified directly in this embodiment, the overlay error can be calculated more accurately.
