Embodiment Construction
[0013] The method of the present invention utilizes the characteristic that the epitaxial layer is difficult to grow on some materials. After the formation of the ordinary zero mark, the protective layer is filled and etched back, so that the zero mark is protected by the protective layer. In the subsequent epitaxial growth, Due to the different growth rates of different substrate materials, steps are formed to provide alignment for subsequent processes.
[0014] The principle of the method of the present invention lies in that it is difficult to grow on the protective layer or the growth rate is significantly different from that of the substrate layer (generally the substrate layer is silicon) during epitaxial growth. For the sake of process simplicity, the protective layer can be SiO 2 , SiN or SiON, or SiC, generally an inorganic compound between Si, C, 0, and N, and other materials with the same characteristics can also be used. It is only necessary to ensure that the hei...
