Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first alignment mark trench in a first material layer on a substrate. A first alignment mark via may then be formed by etching a second material layer that is underneath the first material layer, where the first alignment mark via is positioned to communicate with the first alignment mark trench. Then, a trench-via-merged-type first alignment mark may be formed by filling the first alignment mark trench and the first alignment mark via with a light reflection material layer.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate that is divided into a first region on which a pattern layer is formed and a second region on which a photo key is formed. A silicon layer is formed on the first region and second region of the substrate. The silicon layer is patterned to form a hole exposing a photo key portion of the second region on which the photo key is formed. A buried oxide layer is formed to fill the hole exposing the photo key portion. The silicon layer is patterned by using the photo key formed under the buried oxide layer to form a silicon pattern layer.
