Embodiment Construction
[0024] The invention describes a zero mark forming method suitable for a deep groove etching process without a dielectric barrier layer and a low chemical mechanical grinding CMP polishing amount. Due to the cancellation of the dielectric barrier layer, the zero mark has no epitaxial EPI barrier layer at this time, so the zero mark and the epitaxial EPI grow into one, and the steps are eliminated in the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing CMP, making it unusable. Therefore, it is necessary to use other processes to generate the barrier layer before the epitaxial EPI growth.
[0025] In this process, by changing the process sequence of generating the zero mark, the zero mark is protected by the pad oxide layer, and the pad oxide layer is used as a barrier layer to separate the epitaxial EPI from the zero mark. Enhance the step difference of the zero mark and improve the optical contrast.
