Early Zone Correction for Enhanced Overlay Precision in Next-Generation FOPLP Lithography


AI chiplet architectures are driving advanced IC substrates (AICS) toward larger panels, finer line/space, and much tighter overlay budgets. This study presents a lithography strategy that combines ultra-large exposure field and fine-resolution imaging with algorithmic early zone correction (EZC) to reduce alignment-solution errors, the largest item in the lithography overlay budget. In this st... » read more
