A dielectric layer 205 is formed on the substrate 200, and a via hole 206 and a trench 207 are formed in the dielectric layer 205. Next, a metal layer 201 is deposited on the dielectric layer 205 so as to completely fill the narrow via hole 206, but only covers the surface of the trench 207, and then removes the via holes 206 and 206 by chemical mechanical honing. The metal layer 204 outside the trench 207 exposes the dielectric layer 205, which means that the dielectric layer 205 is used as a honing stop layer to form a plug in the dielectric hole 206. Next, a metal layer 208 is deposited on the dielectric layer 205 and is inserted into the trench 207. At this time, since the width of the trench 207 is wide enough, a trench 211 is also formed on the metal layer 208 above the trench 207. Then, a photoresist layer 210 is formed on the metal layer 208 through processes such as photoresist coating, exposure, and lithography, which expose the areas of the metal layer 208 where wires are to be formed, and are formed in the scribe lines. The photoresist pattern 21a and the groove 211 are combined into a superposed mark 212 for measuring alignment accuracy. FIG. 3 is a top view of a conventional superimposed marker structure. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 at the same time. Figure 3 is a top view of the superimposed mark 212 composed of the groove 211 and the photoresist pattern 210a in Figure 2. The conventional superimposed mark 212 is composed of an outer mark 302 and an inner mark 304. The outer mark 302 is composed of four grooves 211 in the second figure enclosed in a rectangle. The inner mark 304 is composed of four strip-shaped photoresist patterns 210a in the second figure enclosed in another rectangle, and the outer mark 302 surrounds the inner mark 304. The superimposed mark 212 is arranged on the scribe lines at four corners around each wafer to measure whether the current photoresist layer is accurately aligned with the previous layer on the wafer.

Description of Invention ($) Figure 4 It is shown as a cross-sectional view along the line III-III in FIG. 3. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at the same time. The groove 211 in FIG. 4 corresponds to the peripheral mark 302 in FIG. 3, and the photoresist pattern 210a in FIG. 4 corresponds to the inner mark 304 in FIG. Figure 5 shows the signal waveform obtained from the superimposed marks in Figure 4. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 at the same time. The peak signal of the groove 211 in FIG. 4 is 502a and 502b in FIG. 5, and the peak signal of the photoresist pattern 210a is 5 and 506a and 506b in FIG. 5. . The method of re-testing the alignment accuracy using the conventional mark is to first read the peak signals 502a and 502b of the trench 211, take the middle 504, and then read the peak signals 106a of the photoresist pattern 210a, 506b, and take the middle 値 508, and then calculate the difference between the middle 値 504 and the middle 値 508, which is the superposition error. If the overlap error is greater than the acceptable deviation 値, it means that the alignment between the pattern of the photoresist layer and the wafer has not reached the required accuracy, and the photoresist layer must be removed and re-micronized. Process until the overlap error is less than the acceptable deviation. However, the peripheral marks of the conventional superimposed marks have undergone a chemical mechanical honing process, due to variations in the polishing rate (Polishing Rate Deviation), corrosion of the slurry (Slurry), the density of the pattern on the wafer, and the wafer center. Many factors, such as the difference in honing from the edge, will affect the quality of the superimposed mark and even damage the superimposed mark. In addition, the grain of the metal layer (Grain) is also an important factor affecting the accuracy of the measurement, because if the grain of the crystal is too large, it will cause measurement noise. Both of the above will cause the measured peak signal of the -------------------- order --------- line f (please read first Note on the back, please fill out this page again) 1 This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 regulations: ίΤ Printed by the Employees ’Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 519701 7449twf.doc / 012 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (< // ) The waveform (Signal Profile) is not good, and it seriously affects the measurement results, and it is even impossible to measure. This is because the outer mark 302 (ie, the groove 211) of the conventional superimposed mark is far away, which means the groove. The lower density of the 211 distribution is looser and therefore less resistant to abrasion in the CMP process. Especially for the chemical-mechanical honing after the formation of the metal interlayer window, especially the copper-metal dual-metal inlay, the integrity of the superimposed marks has a significant impact on the subsequent process, because of the stability of the copper metal itself and its resistance to slurry. Corrosion and diffusion problems are more serious than other metals such as tungsten. Fig. 6 shows a method for measuring the overlay error using a conventional overlay mark. Please refer to Fig. 6. When the overlap error is measured using the conventional overlay mark, the straight line 310 along the X direction of one of the overlay marks 212 is used to measure an X direction offset, and then one of the overlay marks 212 is measured. The Y-direction straight line 312 measures a Y-direction offset. After all the superimposed marks 212 on the dicing track are measured in this way, the two directions of the X direction and Y direction can be used to calculate the pattern of the photoresist layer and the previous wafer layer on the wafer. Whether there is precise alignment between them. However, only one X-direction offset and one Y-direction offset can be measured by a conventional superimposed mark 212. If the peripheral mark 30 is damaged during the chemical mechanical honing process, it cannot be measured. When the X direction or Y direction is offset, the alignment accuracy cannot be accurately determined. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a structure and a manufacturing method of superimposed marks, which can reduce the superimposed marks being broken by the chemical mechanical honing process. 6 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ------------------- Order --------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 519701 7449twf. doc / 012 A7 B7 5.

Description of Invention (Gas) Figure 7 shows Which is in accordance with the present invention shows a top view of the stack of bonded mark structure according to a preferred embodiment. Referring to FIG. 7, the superimposed mark 700 of the present invention is composed of an outer mark 702 and an inner mark 704, wherein the outer mark 702 encloses a closed cross-shaped area having two central axes 710, 712. The internal mark 704 is composed of four strip-shaped patterns. These four strip-shaped patterns are arranged along the two central axes 710 and 712 and extend outward from the central portion of the cross-shaped area in four directions. The four strip-shaped patterns of the inner mark 704 are not connected to each other, and are not connected to the outer peripheral mark 702. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the line ΙΙΙ-ΙΙΓ of the superposed mark 700 of FIG. 7. Please refer to FIGS. 7 and 8 at the same time. The peripheral mark 702 in FIG. 7 corresponds to the groove 811 in FIG. 8, and the internal mark 704 in FIG. 7 corresponds to the photoresist layer pattern in FIG. 8. 810a. Referring to FIG. 8, the manufacturing method of the superimposed mark 700 is as follows: First, a base 800 having a second trench 807 formed is provided. The second trench 807 is a part of a cross-shaped circular trench corresponding to the peripheral mark 702. Next, a conformal metal layer 804 is formed, and the material of the conformal metal layer 804 is, for example, tungsten or copper. Thereafter, the conformal metal layer 804 outside the trench 807 is removed by a chemical mechanical honing process, and the substrate 800 is exposed. Then, a metal layer 808 is formed on the substrate 800. At this time, because the width of the second trench 807 is wide enough, two trenches 811 ′ are formed on the metal layer 808 above the second trench 807. portion.

Description of the invention (p) Patterns on the layer 808 A photoresist layer 810a is formed. The photoresist layer 810a is located on the metal layer 808 in the middle of the two trenches 811, and is a part of the internal mark 704. As shown in FIG. 9, it is a signal waveform measured by the superimposed mark in FIG. 8. Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 at the same time. The peak signal of the trench 811 in FIG. 8 is 902a and 902b in FIG. 9 and the peak signal of the photoresist pattern 810a in FIG. 8 is 904 in FIG. 9. In the calculation of the superposition error in this embodiment, the peak signals 902a and 902b of the groove 811 are read first, and the middle 値 906 is taken, and then the middle 値 908 5 of the single peak signal 904 of the photoresist pattern 810a is calculated. The difference between intermediate 値 906 and intermediate 値 908 is the superposition error. If the overlap error is greater than the acceptable deviation 値 5, it means that the alignment of the pattern of the photoresist layer with the wafer does not reach the required accuracy, and the photoresist layer must be removed and the lithography process performed again. Until the overlap error 叠 is less than the acceptable deviation 値. Compared with the conventional rectangular superposed marks, the cross-shaped superposed marks formed by the present invention have better resistance to chemical mechanical honing. This is because the density of the trench distribution in the superimposed mark pattern of the present invention is relatively high, so the resistance to chemical mechanical honing is better. What is shown in FIG. 10 is not a method for measuring a superposition error according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 10, the measurement method of the superposition error in this embodiment measures the first X-direction offset along the first X-direction straight line 710, and the first X-direction straight line 710 cuts through the peripheral mark 702 One of them extends in the Y direction 12 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ------------ ·! 丨 --- Order ------- -Line (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 519701 7449twf.doc / 012 A7 B7 V.

The first Y-direction offset is then measured along a first Y-direction straight line 714, which cuts through an X-direction extension of one of the outer marks 702 and an X-direction strip pattern of one of the inner marks 704. Then measure the second Y-direction offset along the second straight line 716. The second Y-direction straight line 716 cuts through the other X-direction extension of the outer mark 702 and the other X-direction strip of the inner mark 704. pattern. Then, an average offset in the γ direction is obtained from the first Y-direction offset and the second Y-direction offset, and an average X-direction offset is obtained from the first x-direction offset and the second X-direction offset. Shift amount. The method for measuring superimposed marks of the present invention can measure two offsets in the X or γ direction for each superimposed mark, and the conventional superimposed mark § can only be read in the X or Y direction Take an offset, so from a statistical point of view, the measurement of the alignment accuracy of the present invention is more accurate. Moreover, if the superimposed mark of the present invention is locally damaged during chemical mechanical honing, it is only necessary to measure an X-direction offset 5 or a γ-direction offset to achieve the alignment accuracy. Measure. Conversely, because the conventional superimposed mark can only read one offset in the X or Y direction, when part of the superimposed mark is damaged by chemical mechanical honing, it is most likely impossible to complete the measurement of alignment accuracy. .

Description of the invention (/ >) Please refer to Section _, using the superimposed mark of the present invention from 700 to The method of analyzing and combining the error factors is based on the superposition method of the overlapping error shown in Fig. 7. The first χ / γ direction straight line 7 丨 〇 / 7 i 4 of the superimposed mark 7OO is superposed. The first X / Y direction offset is measured, and the second x / Y direction offset is measured along the second X / Y direction straight line 712/716 of the superimposed mark 7000. After that, the translation error in the X direction can be obtained from the average 値 Ax of the first / second X-direction offsets', and the translation error in the γ direction can be obtained from the average 値 Aγ of the first / one Y-direction offsets. The difference between the first X-direction offset and the second X-direction offset and Δχ (or the difference between the first γ-direction offset and the second γ-direction offset and the Δγ) can be used to find the standard. Shaft rotation error. Therefore, the superposition mark of the present invention only needs a superposition mark to obtain the axis rotation error. As shown in Fig. 12, it is a schematic diagram illustrating that conventional superimposed marks cannot be calculated in a single group, but must be calculated by different groups of marks. Please refer to FIG. 12, however, the conventional superimposed mark 212 is used to analyze the superimposed error factor. “Since the measuring machine measures the superimposed mark 212 with a fixed width area, it can only be measured by a straight line in the X direction. 310 measures an X-direction offset, and 直线 -direction measures a Υ-direction straight line 312 measures a Υ-direction offset. However, from an X-direction offset and a Υ-direction offset, only the translation error can be obtained, but the standard axis rotation error cannot be obtained. Therefore, if you want to use the conventional superimposed mark 212 to find the axis rotation error, you must measure the X-direction offset and the Υ-direction offset of another superimposed mark, using two X-direction offsets and two Offset in individual directions, 14 ------------------ Order --------- line · (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
