    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide structures and methods for controlling stress in semiconductor wafers during fabrication. Features such as deep trenches (DTs) used in circuit elements such as trench capacitors impart stress on a wafer that is proportional to the surface area of the DTs. In embodiments, a corresponding pattern of dummy (non-functional) DTs is formed on the back side of the wafer to counteract the electrically functional DTs formed on the front side of a wafer. In some embodiments, the corresponding pattern on the back side is a mirror pattern that matches the functional (front side) pattern in size, placement, and number. By creating the minor pattern on both sides of the wafer, the stresses on the front and back of the wafer are in balance. This helps reduce topography issues such as warping that can cause problems during wafer fabrication.
