Abstract
An overlay correction method may include obtaining a first central line of a lower pattern on a substrate, forming a photoresist pattern on the lower pattern, obtaining an ADI overlay value corresponding to a first distance between a second central line of an upper flat surface of the lower pattern and a third central line of the photoresist pattern, obtaining an asymmetrical overlay value corresponding to a second distance between the first and second central lines, form an upper pattern using the photoresist pattern, obtaining an ACI overlay value corresponding to a third distance between the first central line and a fourth central line of the upper pattern, subtracting the ADI overlay value from the ACI overlay value to obtain a first overlay skew value, and adding the asymmetrical overlay value to the first overlay skew value to obtain a second overlay skew value.
