Abstract
This paper discusses the sources of intermachine registration errors of wafer step-and-repeat systems. The vernier overlay techniques used by GCA/Burlington to measure intermachine registration of the Mann Type 4800 DSWTM Wafer StepperTM are fully described. Results are given for a number of intermachine comparisons. The use of similar vernier overlay methods to determine the intermachine registration errors between step-and-repeat systems and full field projection mask aligners is also discussed.
