    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: The present invention provides a wafer polishing pad, the wafer polishing pad includes a polishing material layer, a plurality of recesses are formed on the top surface of the polishing material layer, and a warning element disposed within the polishing material layer, the warning element and the polishing material layer have different colors. The feature of the invention is that forming a warning element in the polishing material layer, when the visible state of the warning element is changed, for example, when the warning element appears, disappears or changes the shapes, it means that the wafer polishing pad needs to be replaced. In this way, the user can confirm the destroying situation of the wafer polishing pad easily, and also improving the manufacturing process efficiency.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an embedded magnetoresistive random access memory including the following steps is provided. A memory cell stack structure is formed on a substrate structure. The memory cell stack structure includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a magnetic tunnel junction structure. A first dielectric layer covering the memory cell stack structure is formed. A metal nitride layer is formed on the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed on the metal nitride layer. A first CMP process is performed on the second dielectric layer to expose the metal nitride layer by using the metal nitride layer as a stop layer. An etch back process is performed to completely remove the metal nitride layer and expose the first dielectric layer. A second CMP process is performed to expose the second electrode. The manufacturing method can have a better planarization effect.

    Abstract: A method of planarizing a substrate surface is disclosed. A substrate having a major surface of a material layer is provided. The major surface of the material layer comprises a first region with relatively low removal rate and a second region of relatively high removal rate. A photoresist pattern is formed on the material layer. The photoresist pattern masks the second region, while exposes at least a portion of the first region. At least a portion of the material layer not covered by the photoresist pattern is etched away. A polish stop layer is deposited on the material layer. A cap layer is deposited on the polish stop layer. A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is performed to polish the cap layer.
