Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention provides a method of producing an alignment mark and a reticle thereof, and more particularly to a method of producing an alignment mark applicable to two different exposure machines and a reticle thereof . [Prior Art] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the lithography process is already an indispensable step in the manufacturing process; as is well known in the industry, the lithography process involves several steps of coating the substrate. The photoresist, the photoresist on the fine-light substrate is exposed to the circuit pattern corresponding to the electronic product, so that the substrate under the photoresist can be subjected to the next process to form the desired circuit pattern. Of course, - the completion of an electronic product, the above steps must be repeated several times. With the liquid helium panel as an example, there are five masks that must be lithographed to complete the drain datum (source dmin, SD), contact layer (CH), pixel electrode (PE), five different layers of circuit patterns. As is well known in the art, it is necessary to correctly align the substrate before performing the aforementioned secret light process, so that (4) the electrical capacitance is accurately projected onto the substrate. The alignment mark, as the name suggests, is used to support the alignment between the reticle and the substrate. _ In general, the aforementioned mask for the polar layer (the first layer) not only has the pre-defined alignment of the electronic product corresponding to the secret of the electronic product, but when performing the gate layer secret light operation, The standard mark will be simultaneously L on the substrate from the fresh axis of the gate layer; and then the oil mask (such as the first 1286274 corresponding to the semiconductor layer 'quiet pole layer, contact layer, each mask of the halogen electrode layer) It also has a pre-defined alignment mark, so before performing the semiconductor layer no-polar layer, the outline, and the exposure of the halogen electrode layer, the fresh mark on the top of the mask is used to freshen the shape of the cake. Solve the mark, so that you can confirm the accuracy of the exposure. However, the location of the substrate on the substrate will directly affect the results of the entire process. Please refer to the figure below. The figure shows the alignment marks and exposures at different locations. Wei, for the exposure operation of the hetero layer (the first layer), in actual operation, the exposure of the first layer is inevitably deformed (curve 100 in the figure).假设 This assumes that the secret layer mask 攸 赖 赖 赖 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 曝 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 〇 The predetermined position 110 is more retracted; therefore, when a plurality of subsequent masks are to be exposed, the alignment marks on the mask will fall outside the alignment marks on the substrate, which causes the exposed circuit patterns (eg, The dotted line 150) in the figure also has a contraction. On the other hand, if it is assumed that the alignment mark defined by the gate layer mask is predetermined to be exposed to the predetermined position 120, but due to the phenomenon of deformation, the alignment mark 12 is more outwardly expanded at the position where the substrate is formed, so when When the subsequent layers of the mask are to be exposed, the alignment marks on the mask will fall on the inside of the alignment marks on the substrate, which causes the circuit pattern of 1,282,274 (such as the dotted line (10) in Fig. 1) to be exposed. Expansion situation. It can be seen that 'the different positions of the deciphering marks, the position 曰xe of the electric switch case is an error (such as the difference D of the first figure); but since the lithography process of the five masks is generally S is the same - (four) The optical machine is completed. For the same machine, the five masks are exposed by the same-group alignment mark, so the exposed circuit pattern does not have much error. However, each liquid crystal surface (4) will produce two kinds of liquid crystal panels without the exposure machine. Due to the production speed considerations, it is considered to produce a liquid crystal panel by mixing two exposure machines. For example, the operator can first complete the reticle with a first exposure machine (such as a C_exposure machine) and the remaining reticle with a second exposure machine (such as a Nikon exposure machine). Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a conventional gate layer mask 2〇〇. Due to the different specifications of the two exposure machines, the alignment marks are different from each other, and the alignment marks of different exposure machines are also different in position; therefore, when the gate layer mask is exposed, it will be The alignment marks of the different exposure machines are formed at different positions on the glass substrate. As described above, when the two exposure machines are mashed together to manufacture the liquid crystal panel, the first reticle is exposed by the first alignment mark 210, and the remaining reticle is exposed by the second alignment mark 220, due to the difference. The positions of the exposure machine alignment marks are different, and the exposed circuit patterns have corresponding errors; in other words, the circuit patterns may have different overlap situations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a method of aligning marks that can be applied to two different exposure machines and a reticle thereof to solve the problems in the prior art. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for generating an alignment mark on a substrate, the method comprising: providing a photomask, the photomask being at least one aligned with the δ self group, The alignment mark set includes a first exposure machine repairable using a first alignment mark and a second exposure machine usable second alignment mark; and the first exposure machine utilizes the light cover to The first alignment mark and the second alignment mark are generated on the substrate; wherein the first alignment mark is substantially immediately adjacent to the second alignment mark. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further provides a photomask capable of producing an alignment mark on a substrate, and the photomask includes a pair of alignment marks. The alignment mark group includes a first alignment mark suitable for one of the first exposure machines; and a second alignment mark applied to one of the second exposure machines; wherein the first alignment mark is substantially Basically adjacent to the second alignment mark. In the alignment mark group of the present invention, the alignment marks corresponding to the two machines are in close proximity to each other, so that when the process of the liquid crystal panel is performed, the circuit pattern overlap is not caused due to the excessive distance between the alignment marks. In the too big situation, in other words, the present invention can reduce the exposure error of the circuit pattern and improve the yield, and also makes it more feasible to mix and match two 1262774 sets of liquid crystal panels. [Embodiment] The following linens are also used as the examples of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the present invention. , a circuit _ 33G including a liquid crystal panel, and a plurality of alignment mark groups 34 〇, each of the alignment ages of the basin also includes a first-descriptive number (10) and a second pair of material numbers 320, the first alignment mark 31 The 〇 is the alignment mark of the Can〇n exposure machine. The first alignment mark 320 is an alignment mark of the Nikon exposure machine, and the first alignment mark 31〇 and the first alignment mark group 340 The two alignment marks 3 are in close proximity to each other. Since the first alignment mark 31G and the second alignment mark 3 of the present invention are in close proximity to each other, the first alignment mark 31 on the glass substrate during the exposure process of the gate layer mask 3 is The second alignment mark 32〇 will also be in close proximity. The difference between the first # alignment mark 310 and the second alignment mark 32 () placement position may result in different overiap conditions of the circuit pattern; the first alignment mark 31 and the first aspect of the present invention When the two alignment marks 32 〇 are in close proximity to each other, the distance between the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark 320 can be minimized. When the mask is required to perform an exposure operation on different exposure machines, since the positions of the first alignment mark 310 and the second alignment mark 320 almost correspond to the same position on the substrate, the exposed circuit pattern does not have any Too large an error, therefore, the present invention can effectively reduce the overlap error of the circuit pattern. ^286274 In addition, please refer to FIG. 4, which is a partially enlarged view of the alignment mark group 34A shown in FIG. Generally, in the alignment operation, the island or the window in the alignment mark is aligned; therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the alignment mark group of the present invention 340 towel, the island area 311 of the first alignment mark 31〇 is closely adjacent to the island area 321 of the mark 320, such a configuration that the distance between the a number 310 and the mark 320 is minimized, and The island area 311 of the alignment mark .310 and the island area 321 of the second alignment mark 320 do not overlap each other, and thus do not affect the progress of the subsequent mask alignment operations. Of course, the present invention does not limit the adjacent manner of the two patterns. In other words, if the window area is to be used for alignment, the window areas of the two § hex numbers may be arranged adjacent to each other, and the corresponding change is also It does not contradict the spirit of the invention. Although in the foregoing disclosure, the process of the liquid crystal panel is taken as an embodiment of the present invention; however, the present invention does not limit the field of application; various electrical and electronic products can utilize the spirit of the present invention. Mixing and manufacturing two different exposure machines, so the 'glass substrate is also an embodiment of the invention, and not the limitation of the invention, the invention can also be implemented on a general wafer, such a corresponding change It is also within the scope of the invention. In addition, various exposure machines can be mashed together to make desired electronic products by using the spirit of the present invention, and such corresponding changes are also within the scope of the present invention. Compared with the prior art, in the alignment mark group of the present invention, the 1826274 alignment marks of the two exposure machines are mutually mutually (four), so that when the process of the liquid crystal panel is performed, the alignment mark _ distance is not too large, so that the circuit is called _Continuously, the coffee is oversized. In other words, the invention can reduce the exposure error of the circuit pattern and improve the yield, and also makes it feasible to mix and match the two exposure machines to make the liquid crystal panel. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all the (four)izations and modifications made by the patent application scope of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
