Description of the Invention (i) Technical Field: The present invention relates to a method for segmented exposure alignment using a vernier to view a photomask pattern, and in particular to a method for determining the same grain segmented exposure using the principle of a vernier. Method of pattern alignment accuracy. The invention is backed by the process technology of integrated circuits. It is necessary to scribe various patterns on the wafer to prepare semiconductor elements. The technology of pattern engraving is photolithography. In the entire semiconductor manufacturing process, lithography technology can It is said that it holds a very important position. In particular, whether the integration of components in the entire semiconductor industry can continue to line width of 0.25 microns or less depends on whether the development of the lithography process is smooth. One of the major bottlenecks of lithography technology is how to accurately control and monitor during the exposure and alignment process. This situation has always been a very troublesome problem in the semiconductor industry. Therefore, various semiconductor manufacturers have made every effort to continuously study how to improve the accuracy of lithography technology. Exposure of Employees' Cooperatives in the Central Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the note _ '· δ,' before filling out this page) The most important step in the lithography process is exposure. First, a layer of photoresist is coated on the wafer, and then, the parallel light from the light source passes through a mask mainly composed of glass, and then hits this layer of photoresist. Because there are patterns on the reticle, these patterns will reflect the incident light, so the light beam passing through the reticle also has the same pattern as the reticle, which further allows the photoresist on the wafer surface to be selectively photosensitive. Therefore, the pattern on the photomask is completely transferred to the photoresist on the wafer surface. This step is called “exposure”. There are two types of photoresistors mentioned above: If development is performed after exposure, photoresist 2 is a paper standard that conforms to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Λ4, if,: 5. Description of the invention (1) The pattern obtained is the same as that on the photomask, which is called positive photoresistance; if the pattern obtained by the photoresist is exactly complementary to the photomask, as in the case of photographic photos and negatives, then Called negative photoresist. During the exposure step, in order to avoid direct contact between the photomask and the wafer, the surface of the photomask will gradually become covered with particles as the number of exposures increases, which will affect the quality of subsequent transfer patterns, and to achieve a higher resolution of pattern transfer, Now choose one more stepper (Stepper) for exposure. However, in the past, when using a stepper for exposure, the problem often encountered in the traditional lithography process is how to correctly and accurately expose many different levels of patterns in the circuit layout to the designed area. This is a pattern alignment. Problem β The problem to be solved by the present invention is the front-to-back alignment of the exposure pattern at the same level, which is limited by the size of the lens and the frame (Reticle) preset by the stepper. Take the ASMLPAS5500 / 100C machine as an example. The maximum tolerable size of the chip is 22mm X 22mm or 27.4mm X 11.4mm. When the size of some special design grains exceeds the limit of the above stepper, it is necessary to segment this kind of grains. Multi-exposures, so that the problem of how to align the pattern of each exposure in the same die. If it is because of the problem of stepping exposure machine or mask placement during the exposure that the patterns in the die are not aligned and aligned neatly, the entire batch of wafers must be scrapped, which seriously increases the production "Cost" In the past, Vernier structures used to align different levels of patterns, because an additional etched layer (Etched Layer) was needed as a reference. When different patterns of alignment must be performed on the same layer of grains, and Not applicable. 3 $ Paper size applies to the Chinese national standard (―cnsI ^ 4 (格 (no χ: > η '(please read the other side first; fill in the readings and read the "quotation page"))
