Abstract

Disclosed are a method and system for overlay error compensation and a storage medium. The method includes that N wafer groups are provided, wherein each wafer group includes M wafers each including a present and previous layer, and N and M are positive integers greater than or equal to 2; for each wafer, a first overlay error is determined according to device structures of the present and previous layers, and a photoetching compensation value is calculated according to the first overlay error; for each wafer group, a first average compensation value is calculated according to photoetching compensation values; a second average compensation value of the N wafer groups is calculated according to first average compensation values; and in response to that the second average compensation value is within a preset range, the second average compensation value is fed to a batch control system to compensate an (N+1)th wafer group.
