DOF Enhanced via the Multi-Wavelength Method for the Moiré Fringe-Based Alignment.
Article in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Alignment systems are core subsystems of lithography, which directly affect the overlay accuracy of the lithography process. The Moiré fringe-based alignment method has the advantages of high precision and low complexity. However, the precision of this method is highly sensitive to variations in the gap between the wafer and the mask. To enhance the performance of Moiré fringe-based alignment, this paper proposes a novel method in which the multi-wavelength approach is used to enhance the imaging depth of focus (DOF). We use a multi-wavelength light to illuminate the alignment marks on the wafer and mask, which is combined with different sources. Then, we use the improved phase analysis algorithm to analyze the contrast of the Moiré fringe and calculate the Moiré fringe displacement. Experiments show that, in an alignment range of 1000 μm, the effective DOF can exceed 400 μm. It is evidenced that the accuracy of the Moiré fringe alignment is unaffected and remains at the nanometer level. Otherwise, with parameter optimization, the alignment DOF is expected to be further extended.
