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.
