Abstract:
A method of forming an overlay mark includes disposing a first feature of a plurality of first alignment segments extending along a first direction in a first layer, disposing a second feature of a plurality of second alignment segments extending along a second direction in a second layer over the first layer, and forming a third feature of a plurality of third alignment segments extending along the first direction and a plurality of fourth alignment segments extending along the second direction in a third layer over the second layer. In a plan view, each first alignment segment of the first alignment segments is adjacent to a corresponding third alignment segment of the third alignment segments along the first direction, and each second alignment segment of the second alignment segments is adjacent to a corresponding fourth alignment segment of the fourth alignment segments along the second direction.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein patterning the third layer to form the third feature in the third layer comprises forming the plurality of third alignment segments such that, in a plan view, a first set of the plurality of first alignment segments is adjacent to a first set of the plurality of third alignment segments, and a second set of the plurality of first alignment segments is adjacent to a second set of the plurality of third alignment segments, wherein the first set of the plurality of third alignment segments is adjacent to the second set of the plurality of third alignment segments along a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.
