Patent attributes
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a lower mold having lower layers stacked on a substrate and lower channel structures passing therethrough; forming an upper mold including upper layers stacked on the lower mold and upper channel structures passing therethrough; removing the upper mold to expose an upper surface of the lower mold; separating an upper original image in which traces of the upper channel structures are displayed, and a lower original image in which the lower channel structures are displayed, from an original image capturing the upper surface of the lower mold; inputting the upper original image into a learned neural network to acquire an upper restored image in which cross sections of the upper channel structures are displayed; and comparing the upper restored image with the lower original image to verify an alignment state of the upper and lower molds.
