Abstract
In order to use an etching solution of less complicated composition for recovering used wafers, embodiments of the present invention provide a recovering method, and also provide a kind of wafer, which is used as a process control wafer or dummy wafer, and fabrication methods. In one embodiment, a wafer-recovering method comprises providing a first wafer, wherein the first wafer has a base, a first conductive layer on the base, and a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer. The method further comprises removing the first and second conductive layers with an acidic solution to obtain a second wafer; and washing the second wafer with a liquid. The second conductive layer is formed on the first conductive layer in a deposition process, and the first conductive layer is more easily removed by the acidic solution than the second conductive layer.
