  • Publication number: 20240134291
    Abstract: A processing apparatus for overlay shift includes a storage unit and a control unit, and is applicable to a semiconductor wafer with several inspection regions. Each of the inspection regions has several sets of overlay marks for inspection. One set of overlay marks includes an original alignment mark without any overlay shift, and several split alignment marks with predetermined overlay shifts arranged near the original alignment mark. The original after-etch inspection (AEI) overlay data of the inspection regions is stored in the storage unit. The after-develop inspection (ADI) overlay data of the original alignment mark and the split alignment marks are compared with the original AEI overlay data by the control unit, thereby acquiring ADI pre-bias data of the original alignment mark and the split alignment marks. The control unit determines whether an overlay shift compensation is performed according to the acquired ADI pre-bias data.

  • Publication number: 20240079268
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip structure. The method may be performed by forming a plurality of interconnect layers within a first interconnect structure disposed over an upper surface of a first semiconductor substrate. An edge trimming process is performed to remove parts of the first interconnect structure and the first semiconductor substrate along a perimeter of the first semiconductor substrate. The edge trimming process results in the first semiconductor substrate having a recessed surface coupled to the upper surface by way of an interior sidewall disposed directly over the first semiconductor substrate. A dielectric capping structure is formed onto a sidewall of the first interconnect structure after performing the edge trimming process.
