Abstract
A method for improving critical dimension of a substrate is provided. Manufacturing data of a plurality of critical dimension deviations corresponding to a plurality of areas on the substrate is collected. A plurality of sensitivity data corresponding to the plurality of areas is also collected. A plurality of exposure dosage offsets corresponding to the plurality of areas are calculated based on the plurality of critical dimension deviations and the plurality of sensitivity data.
