Resumen
Wafer chips are manufactured in the semiconductor industry through various process technologies. Photolithography is one of these processes, aligning the wafer and scanning the circuit pattern on the wafer on which the photoresist film is formed by irradiating light onto the circuit pattern drawn on the mask. As semiconductor technology is highly integrated, alignment is becoming increasingly difficult due to problems such as reduction of alignment margin, transmittance due to level stacking structure, and an increase in wafer diameter in the photolithography process. Various methods and research to reduce the misalignment problem that is directly related to the yield of production are constantly being conducted. In this paper, we use machine vision for exposure equipment to improve the image resolution quality of marks for accurate alignment. To improve image resolution quality, we propose an improved Multi-Scale Residual Network (MSRN) that combines Attention Mechanism using a Multi-Scale Residual Attention Block to improve image resolution quality. Our proposed method can extract enhanced features using two different bypass networks and attention blocks with different scale convolution filters. Experiments were used to verify this method, and the performance was improved compared with previous research.
