Another object of the present invention, be to provide a kind of mask with two-way aligned pattern, when being calibrated, exposure machine can obtain one group of vector potential in the single aligned pattern of detecting, solve in the common technology when using two-way aligned pattern, need carry out the shortcoming that twice detecting could obtain one group of svm message.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a kind of mask with two-way aligned pattern, and it is reached and significantly dwindles the purpose that aligned pattern occupies the space of chip scribe line.
Another purpose of the present invention, be to provide a kind of mask with two-way aligned pattern, but reach the purpose of calibration its within a short period of time, need carry out the amount of alignment measured value of the aligned pattern of directions X scanning vertical direction earlier to shorten common calibration measurement, carry out the tediously long alignment time of Y scanning direction horizontal direction aligned pattern again with the amount of alignment measured value of acquisition directions X with acquisition Y direction.
Another purpose of the present invention be to provide a kind of mask with two-way aligned pattern, but it can improve the usage space of alignment mark on the chip scribe line.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the invention provides a kind of mask with two-way aligned pattern, it includes a layout patterns district, and an external print district that is positioned at periphery, layout patterns district, wherein have the two-way aligned pattern that several are staggered and are formed by several horizontal pattern groups and several vertical pattern groups in the external print district.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: by two-way aligned pattern, not only overcome and carry out usually dually need carrying out the shortcoming that twice detecting could obtain one group of svm message, and dwindled the space of occupied chip scribe line (scribe line) alignment mark of aligned pattern greatly punctual transducer.
