摘要:
Multi-pitch or variable pitch grating structures for overlay, dose, or focus information extraction are described. In an example, a method of performing optical metrology of a semiconductor structure includes providing a semiconductor structure having an underlying layer comprising a pre-patterned grating structure having a pitch. The method also includes providing an overlying layer on the underlying layer, the overlying layer including a grating pattern having two or more pitches different from the pitch of the pre-patterned grating structure of the underlying layer. The method also includes measuring for a shift in overlay of the overlying layer relative to the pre-patterned grating structure of the underlying layer.
