Abstract
A method of measuring a shifted extent of a shifted epitaxy layer by an Nburied layer using difference between contact resistances is described. An N-type buried layer comprising a stepped portion is formed at a P-type substrate. An epitaxy layer is formed, comprising a stepped portion, on the N-type buried layer. A plug is formed in the epitaxy layer. An insulating layer is formed on the epitaxy layer. A plurality of contacts are formed in the insulating layer. Resistances of the plurality of contacts are measured and a shifting extent of the stepped portion of the epitaxy layer is calculated using the plurality of contact resistances.
