Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first overlay grating over a substrate. The first overlay grating has a first strip portion and a second strip portion, and the first strip portion and the second strip portion are elongated in a first elongated axis and are spaced apart from each other. The method includes forming a layer over the first overlay grating. The layer has a first trench elongated in a second elongated axis, the second elongated axis is substantially perpendicular to the first elongated axis, and the first trench extends across the first strip portion and the second strip portion. The method includes forming a second overlay grating over the layer. The second overlay grating has a third strip portion and a fourth strip portion.
