alignment mark, alignment system using ter same and alignment method thereof

摘要

An alignment mark and an exposure alignment system and method using the alignment mark for aligning wafers are described. The alignment mark is formed of a plurality of mesa or trench type unit marks that are aligned in an inline pattern within an underlying layer under a layer to which a chemical mechanical polishing process is applied to form an alignment signal during an alignment process, thereby preventing a dishing phenomenon caused by the chemical mechanical process.
