An implanted region is formed in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the implanted region is overlapped by the first opening. A coating layer is coated over the photo resist, wherein the coating layer includes a first portion in the first opening, and a second portion over the photo resist. A top surface of the first portion is lower than a top surface of the second portion. The coating layer, the photo resist, and the implanted region are etched to form a second opening in the implanted region."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Alignment marks in non-STI isolation formation and methods of forming the same","description":"A method includes forming a photo resist over a semiconductor substrate of a wafer, patterning the photo resist to form a first opening in the photo resist, and implanting the semiconductor substrate ","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-9741665","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
