A method for producing a semiconductor device having an alignment mark, the method comprising forming a first dielectric layer within which a trench having predetermined dimensions is etched and depositing a first layer of metal into the trench; forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer and over the first layer of metal; simultaneously etching lines and an opening into the second dielectric layer, at least one line used as a via extending to the first layer of metal; filling the lines and the opening, the filling controlled to fill the lines and to under fill the opening; performing chemical mechanical polishing of the plate; and depositing a non-transparent stack of layers onto the metal, whereby the non-transparent stack of layers conforms to the surface of the under filled opening resulting in an alignment mark on the non-transparent stack of layers in order to align successive layers. |
