A method of monitoring a semiconductor process includes the following steps. A process parameter is set to a first condition. A first process is performed to form a first film layer on a first wafer. The first film layer does not cover a wafer edge region of the first wafer. The first wafer having the first film layer is photographed by an image capturing device to obtain a first wafer image. Image recognition is performed to the first wafer image to obtain first data. Whether a position of the first film layer is offset is determined according to the first data.

Method of monitoring semiconductor process

A method of manufacturing a memory structure including the following steps is provided. A spacer layer is formed on sidewalls of gate stack structures. A protective material layer covering the spacer layer and the gate stack structures is formed. A mask material layer is formed on the protective material layer. There is a void located in the mask material layer between two adjacent gate stack structures. A first distance is between a top of the protective material layer and a top of the mask material layer. A second distance is between a top of the void and a top of the mask material layer above the void. A third distance is between a bottom of the void and a bottom of the mask material layer below the void. The first distance is greater than a sum of the second and third distances.
