Abstract

A wafer including a substrate, a dielectric layer over the substrate, and a conductive layer over the dielectric layer is disclosed. The substrate has a main portion. A periphery of the dielectric layer and the periphery of the main portion of the substrate are separated by a first distance. A periphery of the conductive layer and the periphery of the main portion of the substrate are separated by a second distance. The second distance ranges from about a value that is 0.5% of a diameter of the substrate less than the first distance to about a value that is 0.5% of the diameter greater than the first distance.
