[0064] For example, in this embodiment, an N-type SBD semiconductor device is taken as an example for description. Figure 2 , the first semiconductor body 10 includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to the first surface 101. Figure 2As shown, the first semiconductor body 10 includes a substrate 300 and an epitaxial layer 301. In some embodiments of the present invention, the first semiconductor body 10 may also include only the epitaxial layer 301. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first semiconductor body 10 may also include a substrate 300 and a semiconductor layer formed by other processes. Among them, the epitaxial layer 301 is a semiconductor layer formed by a single epitaxial process on the basis of the substrate 300, and the epitaxial process includes chemical vapor epitaxy (CVE), molecular beam epitaxy (MBD) and atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and other processes.

[0067] Optionally, the alignment mark 20 may be formed by laser marking or ion doping process to ensure that the transmittance of the alignment mark 20 is different from the transmittance of the first semiconductor body 10 , so as to facilitate the subsequent identification of the alignment mark 20 .
[0068] During the laser marking process, a high-energy laser is used to locally irradiate the second surface 102 of the first semiconductor body 10, causing the surface material to vaporize or undergo a chemical reaction that causes a color change, thereby forming at least one pattern to complete the preparation process of at least one alignment mark 20.

Wherein, when the first semiconductor body 10 includes silicon carbide material, the first semiconductor body 10 is a transparent material, and the alignment mark 20 can be identified on the first surface 101 of the first semiconductor body 10. In other embodiments of the present invention, when the first semiconductor body 10 includes gallium nitride material, the alignment mark 20 can be identified by an image acquisition device.

[0074] Specifically, an alignment mark 20 is formed on the second surface 102 of the first semiconductor body 10, and the alignment mark 20 and the second semiconductor body 303 are located on different surfaces of the first semiconductor body 10. During the process of forming the second semiconductor body 303 on one side of the first semiconductor body 10 at least once, the presence of the imprint of the alignment mark 20 will not cause secondary defects to be generated during the formation of the second semiconductor body 303, that is, the presence of the alignment mark 20 will not affect the lattice structure and crystal orientation of the second semiconductor body 303.

[0078] When the first semiconductor body 10 and the second semiconductor body 303 both include third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials such as a silicon carbide semiconductor body or a gallium nitride semiconductor body, due to the high hardness of the material itself, after each formation of the second semiconductor body 303, a second region 304 is formed on the second semiconductor body 303, thereby improving the formation quality of the doped region formed each time and reducing the difficulty of forming the doped region each time.

At the same time, according to the alignment mark 20, the first region 302 and at least one second region 304 can also be formed, which reduces the difficulty of forming the doped region each time and improves the formation quality of the doped region.
