摘要： 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.

摘要： A semiconductor structure includes a first dielectric layer on a substrate, a conductive structure disposed in the first dielectric layer and including a terminal portion and an extending portion connecting the terminal portion and extending away from the terminal portion, a second dielectric layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, a conductive via through the second dielectric layer and directly contacting the extending portion, and a dummy via through the second dielectric layer and directly contacting the terminal portion. In a cross-sectional view, a width of the dummy via is smaller than 50% of a width of the conductive via.
