Abstract

A double-sided etching method using an embedded alignment mark includes: preparing a substrate having first and second alignment marks embedded in an intermediate portion thereof; etching an upper portion of the substrate so as to expose the first alignment mark from a first surface of the substrate; etching the upper portion of the substrate using the exposed first alignment mark; etching a lower portion of the substrate so as to expose the second alignment mark from a second surface of the substrate; and etching the lower portion of the substrate using the exposed second alignment mark.
