A mark for alignment and overlay, a mask having the same, and a method of using the same are provided. The mark includes a first mark pattern and a second mark pattern. The first mark pattern includes a first pattern and a second pattern, and the second mark pattern includes a third pattern and a fourth pattern. The first pattern includes a plurality of rectangular regions arranged in a first direction, and for each rectangular region, a sideline in a second direction is longer than a sideline in the first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The second pattern is disposed on both sides of the first pattern in the second direction and includes a plurality of rectangular regions arranged in the second direction, and for each rectangular region, the sideline in the first direction is longer than a sideline in the second direction. The third pattern includes two rectangular regions disposed on both sides of the first pattern in the first direction, and the fourth pattern includes two rectangular regions disposed on both sides of the second pattern in the second direction.

Mark for alignment and overlay, mask having the same, and method of using the same

An exposure system with group compensation. The exposure system includes a lot classification database, a compensation unit and a first exposure device. The lot classification database records a group classification of at least one lot wafer. The compensation unit obtains the group classification of the lot wafer from the lot classification database, retrieves a group compensation value according to the group classification, and compensates overlay parameters according to the group compensation value. The first exposure device performs a back-end process including overlay and exposure processes on the lot wafer using the compensated overlay parameters.

Exposure system and method with group compensation

An exposure system. The exposure system includes a compensation unit and an exposure device. The compensation unit receives at least one adjustment value of a corresponding equipment parameter, and compensates a corresponding overlay parameter according to the adjustment value and an adjustment formula corresponding to the equipment parameter. The exposure device performs overlay and exposure processes on a wafer using the compensated overlay parameter.
