Abstract

An original layout pattern for reticle includes a tip pattern region, a scribe region formed around the tip pattern region, and alignment marks formed in the scribe region. Each end of the alignment marks is not reached to a edge of the original layout pattern. Therefore, when the original layout pattern is formed on the reticle side by side in predetermined times, the alignment marks positioned at an inner portion between two adjacent patterns are separated from each other.
