To support the manufacturing of DRAM semiconductors for next and future nodes, there is a constant need to reduce the overlay fingerprints. In this paper we evaluate algorithms which are capable of decoupling wafer deformation from mark deformation and extrapolation effects. The algorithms enable lithography tools to use only the wafer deformation component in the alignment feedforward correction. Therefore improving the (wafer to wafer) overlay. First results will be shared showing improvement of wafer to wafer variation in high-volume manufacturing environment.
