ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for checking the accuracy of the result of a multistep etching process for forming depressions in a substrate. The check is made possible in a simple manner by providing line patterns on the etch masks. The line patterns on the etch masks for different etching steps are different and form a vernier system.
