Abstract

A registration mark to be used for a micro-fine working technique such as LSI's includes a smaller protrusion pattern within a larger recess pattern formed in a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The recess and protrusion patterns are used for coarse and fine positioning, respectively. The protrusion pattern implements precise positioning because it is isolated from other regions.
