Abstract
A semiconductor device structure comprises a corner structure enclosed by a delineation region, wherein the shape of the corner structure does not exhibit any symmetry with respect to point symmetry and axial symmetry, such that the corner structure is unambiguously recognizable by an automated alignment system. Furthermore, the inner region of the corner structure may be filled with a pattern indicating the type of material layer in which the corner structure is formed. The corner structure exhibits a strong contrast even if the wafer is subjected to a CMP treatment.
