Abstract: An alignment mark structure includes a dielectric layer. A trench is embedded in the dielectric layer. An alignment mark fills up the trench, wherein the alignment mark includes a metal layer covering the trench. A first material layer covers and contacts the metal layer. A second material layer covers and contacts the first material layer. A third material layer covers and contacts the second material layer. The first material layer, the second material layer, and the third material layer are independently comprises silicon nitride, silicon oxide, tantalum-containing material, aluminum-containing material, titanium-containing material, or a low-k dielectric having a dielectric constant smaller than 2.7, and a reflectance of the first material layer is larger than a reflectance of the second material layer, the reflectance of the second material layer is larger than a reflectance of the third material layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a memory device is provided, the method includes the following steps: firstly, providing a dielectric layer, then simultaneously forming a contact window and an alignment mark trench in the dielectric layer, wherein the contact window exposes a lower metal line, then forming a conductive layer on the surface of the dielectric layer, in the contact window and in the alignment mark trench, performing a planarization step on the conductive layer, and leaving a residue in the alignment mark trench. Subsequently, a nitrogen plasma step (N2 plasma) is performed on the dielectric layer, a cleaning step is performed to remove the residue in the alignment mark trench, and a patterned magnetic tunneling junction, MTJ) film is laminated on the contact window.
