Abstract

A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit including forming trenches into the surface of a crystalline wafer and the trenches extending along a <100> lattice direction is disclosed. Such wafer can experience less deformation due to less stress induced when the trenches are filled using a spin-on dielectric material. Thus, the overlay issue caused by wafer shape change is resolved.
