    Abstract: An interconnect structure including a first dielectric layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a capping layer, and a via is provided. The first dielectric layer has a first trench and a second trench. The first conductive layer is located in the first trench. The second conductive layer is located in the second trench, and a top surface of the second conductive layer is lower than a top surface of the first dielectric layer. The capping layer having a via opening exposing a portion of the first conductive layer covers the first dielectric layer, the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer. The via located on the first conductive layer and the first dielectric layer located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is filled into the via opening and electrically connected to the first conductive layer.

    Abstract: A scanner and a method for performing an exposure process through a photomask on a wafer are provided. The exposure process includes an alignment step and an exposure step. The method includes the steps of moving a wafer table to align the wafer with an alignment apparatus, wherein the wafer table includes at least one chuck hole to attach the wafer to the wafer table by vacuum chucking, detecting an actual position of each of a plurality of alignment marks on the wafer, calculating an index value based on a difference between a predicted position and the actual position of each alignment mark, adjusting a vacuum pressure of the at least one chuck hole in the alignment step when the index value is larger than a first threshold value, and finishing the exposure process when the index value is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value.
