Du V. Description of the invention (f) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing integrated circuit components, and in particular A manufacturing method of an alignment mark (Alignment Mark) structure on a wafer. PhotoHthography is a process technology that transfers the pattern required by a semiconductor device to the surface of the wafer. It is a key step in the success or failure of manufacturing a semiconductor device, so it plays an important role in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Due to the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, the fine circuit patterns of semiconductor products have become more complex, and the number of photomasks required has also increased. In order for the mask pattern to be correctly transferred to the wafer, the alignment between the layers must be done before each photoresist exposure in the manufacturing process, otherwise improper pattern transfer will occur, which will cause the entire wafer. scrapped. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the method of wafer alignment is to use a V-shaped groove (Notch) on the edge of the wafer to position the wafer, and form an alignment mark corresponding to the photomask in the alignment mark area of the wafer. The alignment mark is then used to generate a diffraction pattern of the light waves, which is received by the alignment sensor and achieves the purpose of wafer alignment. However, in the multiple interconnection process, after each layer of metal connection is completed, a dielectric layer must be deposited thereon, and a contact window or a dielectric window opening must be formed in the dielectric layer to define the position of the metal plug. . Next, a metal layer is formed above the dielectric layer, and the contact window or the opening of the dielectric window is filled. Then, a part of the metal layer above the dielectric layer is removed by chemical mechanical honing, the surface of the wafer is flattened, and a metal plug is formed. Only then can the next metal connection be made. As the number of depositions increases, the alignment mark will be the wafer alignment mark area. 3 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ----------- Huan!

Therefore, the above reasons may cause the alignment signal to be weak, or the noise ratio (Noise RaUo) may be too large, which will cause the alignment sensor to fail to detect the proper alignment signal for discrimination. (Misallgnment0 & phenomenon occurs, resulting in improper transfer of the pattern. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for making an alignment mark structure, so that the alignment mark area is covered with only transparent dielectric material, so as to facilitate accurate alignment between the material layers and prevent Misalignment occurs in the active area (AA) of the chip; the guard band is provided between the wire layer and the gate layer; and the gate is covered with a dielectric material to prevent contact between the metal and the polycrystalline sand The peeling phenomenon occurs, and the residues (nitrides, metals, etc.) in the alignment mark area are inhibited from affecting the quality of the components. The manufacturing method of the structure firstly provides a semiconductor substrate including an element region with an active region and an alignment mark region with an alignment mark, and the element region The height is higher than the alignment mark area. Then a patterned mask layer is formed on the active area, and a trench for isolating components is formed on the periphery of the active area, and then a dielectric material layer is formed on the substrate to fill the trench. And the alignment mark °, removing a part of the dielectric material layer, and forming an isolation dielectric layer and a bottom dielectric layer in the trench and the alignment mark area, respectively. After stripping the mask layer, a semiconductor element is formed on the active area. Secondly, a planarized dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, and then a conductive line is formed in the active area h. The conductive line and the semiconductor element are formed by the dielectric layer. 4 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm). ) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs: i 6 6 7 8 44061Λ \ Γ doc / 006 A7 B7 V.
