US Patent 11854854 Method for calibrating alignment of wafer and lithography system

A method for calibrating the alignment of a wafer is provided. A plurality of alignment position deviation (APD) simulation results are obtained form a plurality of mark profiles. An alignment analysis is performed on a mark region of the wafer with a light beam. A measured APD of the mark region of the wafer is obtained in response to the light beam. The measured APD is compared with the APD simulation results to obtain alignment calibration data. An exposure process is performed on the wafer with a mask according to the alignment calibration data.
