    • A method of providing etched alignment marks on a semiconductor workpiece that has a substantially planar surface, such as one that has been polished, for supporting accurate alignment of the workpiece in subsequent process operations. The surface of the semiconductor workpiece includes two layers of materials that abut at the workpiece surface. For example, the workpiece may include a layer of insulative material such as silicon dioxide forming several vias and a layer of conductive material such as tungsten forming plugs in the vias. The method includes etching the substantially planar surface to reduce a height of one of the materials below the height of the other material. For example, the tungstein plugs can be etched to a height that is below the height of the surrounding silicon dioxide. The location where the silicon dioxide abuts the tungsten produces a small bump. This bump then serves as an alignment mark for subsequent operations. Furthermore, such subsequent operations will replicate, and/or enhance, the topographical distinction of the alignment mark.
    • 在半导体工件上提供蚀刻的对准标记的方法,其具有基本上平坦的表面,例如已被抛光的表面,用于在随后的工艺操作中支持工件的精确对准。 半导体工件的表面包括在工件表面上邻接的两层材料。 例如,工件可以包括一层绝缘材料,例如形成几个通孔的二氧化硅和一个导电材料层,例如通孔中形成钨的插塞。 该方法包括蚀刻基本上平坦的表面,以将材料之一的高度降低到低于另一材料高度的高度。 例如,钨锡塞可被蚀刻到低于周围二氧化硅高度的高度。 二氧化硅与钨接触的位置产生小的凸起。 然后,该凸块用作后续操作的对准标记。 此外,这样的后续操作将复制和/或增强对准标记的形貌区分。
