    摘要: A substrate comprises a first mark and a second mark. The first mark comprises a first pattern with at least one mark feature formed by a first material and at least one further region formed by a second material. The first and second materials have different material characteristics with respect to a chemical-mechanical polishing process such that a step height in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate may be created by applying the chemical-mechanical polishing process. The second mark can be provided with a second step height by applying the chemical-mechanical polishing process. The second step height is substantially different from the first step height.

    摘要: An alignment mark on a substrate includes a periodic structure of a plurality of first elements and a plurality of second elements. The elements are arranged in an alternating repetitive sequence in a first direction. An overall pitch of the periodic structure is equal to a sum of a width of the first element and a width of the second element in the first direction. Each first element has a first periodic sub-structure with a first sub-pitch and each second element has a second periodic sub-structure with second sub-pitch. An optical property of the first element for interaction with a beam of radiation having a wavelength λ is different from the optical property of the second element. The overall pitch is larger than the wavelength λ, and each of the first and the second sub-pitch is smaller than the wavelength.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a marker structure including line elements and trench elements arranged in a repetitive order includes filling the trench elements with silicon dioxide and leveling the marker structure. A sacrificial oxide layer is grown on the semiconductor surface, and a first subset of the line elements is exposed to an ion implantation beam including a dopant species to dope and change an etching rate of the first subset. The substrate is annealed to activate the dopant species, and the semiconductor surface is etched to remove the sacrificial oxide layer and to level the first subset to a first level and to create a topology such that the first subset has a first level differing from a second level of a surface portion of the marker structure different from the first subset.
