Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is difficult to accurately position the wafer on the operating table for operation with the naked eye or other rough measurement tools, and it is also impossible to accurately judge or measure whether the operation meets the specified requirements.
Therefore, this method of calibrating positioning or operating specifications by naked eyes or other rough measurement tools is very unscientific, and often causes some defects or adverse effects due to the influence of human factors

Abstract

The invention relates to a wafer and method for manufacturing a locating marker thereon, wherein the wafer is provided with the locating marker. The method comprises the following steps: a) any pattern on a photomask is selected as a reference pattern; b) the wafer is uniformly divided along horizontal and vertical directions to obtain a series of points of intersection; c) coordinates are defined for each point of intersection; d) the locating marker is determined according to the coordinates for the points of intersection obtained in the step c); e) the reference pattern selected out in thestep a) is used for exposing the locating marker determined in the step d); and f) the exposed locating marker is etched. The invention can accurately locate the wafer on an operating machine; besides, the invention can guarantee the processing precision to meet requirements and avoids bad influences like anthropic factors, etc. Meanwhile, the serial numbers of the wafers can be searched conveniently and quickly. In addition, redundant operations can not be caused so as to achieving the purposes of saving the time and improving the efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, more particularly to a method for making positioning marks on a wafer. Background technique [0002] In semiconductor manufacturing technology, the photolithography process is the most critical process among the four basic processes for wafer manipulation, which determines the critical dimensions of devices. Errors in the photolithography process and misalignment of the pattern may cause distortion or poor registration of the pattern on the wafer, which can eventually translate into adverse effects on the electrical characteristics of the device. [0003] Before various operations can be performed, the wafer needs to be placed on the stage. However, since there is no effective means or method to judge the position of the wafer, it often causes the wafer to be biased, which is very unfavorable for accurate operation of subsequent processes. In addition, in the edge photoresist removal ...
