    摘要: An in-situ wear indicator for detecting wear to at least one selected part in a semiconductor manufacturing environment. The indicator is manufactured in a selected material with a selected thickness so that the indicator degrades upon exposure to the semiconductor manufacturing process at a fixed rate relative to the wear of the selected part. The indicator displays a visual indication of wear which is discernible by an automated detection device.

    摘要: A semiconductor arrangement having a first active region and a dummy region on a surface of a substrate. The first active region and the dummy region are spaced from one another without any contact, and the dummy region is closer to an edge of the surface of the substrate in comparison to the first active region. Formed on the dummy region, first active region, and a portion of the substrate surface is a dielectric layer. The surface of the dielectric layer has an inactive portion and an active portion. A mask is disposed on the dielectric layer such that the mask contacts the inactive portion and does not contact the active portion.
