ABSTRACT:
An alignment target for use in aligning a semiconductor wafer using a scanning light beam includes a light reflective surface of a first material such as aluminum which defines an alignment pattern and a light scattering surface of a second material abutting the light reflective surface, the light scattering surface including a raised pattern of generally orthogonal lines with the lines having inclined sidewalls which scatter impinging light. In a preferred embodiment the second material is polycrystalline silicon which has been etched to form the pattern with inclined sidewalls.
