Abstract

Present disclosure provides a method for multi-level etch. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a first reference feature over a control region of the substrate, forming an etchable layer over the first reference feature and a target region over the substrate, patterning a masking layer over the etchable layer, the masking layer having a first opening projecting over the control region and a second opening projecting over the target region, and removing a portion of the etchable layer through the first opening and the second opening until the first reference feature is reached. A semiconductor sensing device manufactured by the multi-level etch is also disclosed.
