    Abstract: An overlay accuracy measurement vernier and a method of forming the same. According to one embodiment, the method of forming the overlay accuracy measurement vernier includes the steps of forming a first vernier pattern in a predetermined region on a semiconductor substrate; etching the semiconductor substrate using the first vernier pattern as a mask, forming a trench of a first depth; forming a second vernier pattern having a width wider than that of the first vernier pattern, the second vernier pattern including the first vernier pattern; performing an etch process using the second vernier pattern as a mask, thus forming a trench of a second depth, which has a step of a predetermined width; stripping the first and second vernier patterns and then forming an insulating film to bury the trench; and, etching the insulating film so that the semiconductor substrate of the vernier region is exposed.
