摘要:
A mark forming method includes: exposing a wafer with a mask image to form first and second resist marks that have different shapes than one another based on a portion of the mask image; applying a polymer layer that contains a block copolymer to the wafer by spin-coating; forming self-assembled regions in the applied polymer layer; selectively removing a portion of the self-assembled regions; and forming first and second wafer marks on the wafer using the first and second resist marks. This makes it possible to form the marks when forming circuit patterns using self-assembly of a block copolymer.

In a method to produce an alignment mark, an oxide layer (1010) and sacrificial layer are processed to comprise recesses. The recesses are filled with a filler material. During filling the recesses a layer of filler material is formed on the sacrificial layer. The layer of filler material is removed by chemical mechanical polishing. The sacrificial layer protects the oxide layer during filling the recesses and removing the layer of filler material. The sacrificial layer is then removed by etching. This provides an unscratched oxide layer with protrusions (1230). The oxide layer with protrusions is covered with a conducting layer (1070) whereby the protrusions punch through the oxide layer to form related protrusions. The related protrusions form an alignment mark.

摘要:
In fabrication of a semiconductor device having plural patterns on a plurality of layers by using complementary divided masks each having alignment marks distributed therein, because of the presence of a plurality of complementary divided mask layers, misalignment between respective layers tends to occur. To solve this problem, divided alignment marks (M1a, M2a, M3a, M4a) are formed in respective complementary divided regions corresponding to respective blocks (B1, B2, B3, B4) of complementary divided masks obtained by dividing a stencil mask. By distributing alignment marks to respective complementary divided masks, a positional deviation between respective masks is averaged, thereby enabling to fabricate a semiconductor device in which a large positional deviation between patterns of adjoining layers is eliminated.
