| Abstract | This paper aims to deal with a four-quadrant gratings alignment method benefiting from phase demodulation for proximity lithography, which combines the advantages of interferometry with image processing. Both the mask alignment mark and the wafer alignment mark consist of four sets of gratings, which bring the convenience and simplification of realization for coarse alignment and fine alignment. Four sets of moire´ fringes created by superposing the mask alignment mark and the wafer alignment mark are highly sensitive to the misalignment between them. And the misalignment can be easily determined through demodulating the phase of moire´ fringe without any external reference. Especially, the period and phase distribution of moire´ fringes are unaffected by the gap between the mask and the wafer, not excepting the wavelength of alignment illumination. Disturbance from the illumination can also be negligible, which enhances the technological adaptability. The experimental results bear out the feasibility and rationality of our designed approach. © 2013 Optical Society of America.; This paper aims to deal with a four-quadrant gratings alignment method benefiting from phase demodulation for proximity lithography, which combines the advantages of interferometry with image processing.
