Abstract

A compensation method for overlay deviation, including: obtaining x first inspection distribution maps; and performing a first iteration on wafers of an n-th lot according to the x first inspection distribution maps to obtain an n-th high-order overlay deviation model, that the wafers of the n-th lot include a plurality of n-th wafers, n is a natural number greater than or equal to one, and performing the first iteration includes: obtaining x n-th wafers to be inspected from the wafers of the n-th lot; allocating the x first inspection distribution maps, that each n-th wafer to be inspected corresponds to one first inspection distribution map; obtaining an n-th overlay accuracy information of each n-th wafer to be inspected according to a corresponding first inspection distribution map; and obtaining the n-th high-order overlay deviation model according to the x n-th overlay accuracy information.
