Patent ID: 8361876

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a first alignment mark and a second alignment mark by (i) forming one or more first grooves and one or more second grooves, respectively, on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate and (ii) filling the one or more first and second grooves with a material different from the semiconductor substrate; forming a first element on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate using the first alignment mark for alignment; bonding a support substrate to the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; reversing a bonded structure of the support substrate and the semiconductor substrate around a predetermined axis and thinning the semiconductor substrate from the side of a second surface of the semiconductor substrate at least until a thickness at which a position of the second alignment mark is detected by reflected light obtained by applying alignment light from the second surface side of the semiconductor substrate; and forming a second element on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate using the second alignment mark for alignment, wherein, in the step of forming the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark, (a) a first pattern, a second pattern, and a third pattern are formed, the second pattern being disposed between the first pattern and the third pattern, and (b) a first center mark is formed between the first pattern and the second pattern, and a second center mark different from the first center mark is formed between the second pattern and the third pattern, the first pattern and the second pattern correspond to the first alignment mark used for alignment on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the second pattern and the third pattern correspond to the second alignment mark used for alignment on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate.
