摘要
This paper describes the principle of a new alignment method (SMART) and alignment optics using an opticalheterodyne technique. This SMART dose not need to correct chromatic aberration. Therefore, it dose not require any mechanism, such as mirrors, a prism or a lens system to correct chromatic aberration for the projection lens. A pair of one-dimensional gratings for the mask mark and a checker grating for the wafer mark were used in SMART optics. The relation displacement between the mask and the wafer can be directly detected by measuring the phase difference of the heterodyne beat signals. The experimental result for the phase difference was similar to the calculation result. An alignment signal variation of less than 10 nm was obtained.
