The Center for Measurement Standards (CMS) has a research program in optical overlay metrology. The main goal of this work is to improve overlay measurement accuracy. Two main threads are developed to the work -novel in-chip overlay target design, and best algorithm. The former is hoped to prove a capability for measuring overlay error inside the active area of product devices. The later is for extracting the most from image detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
