Abstract

See full text

A test pattern comprising a first region as an active region of a semiconductor device and a second region as a device isolation region around the first region. Formed on the second region of the substrate is a stepped layer having a different height from the first region. A plurality of parallel critical dimension bars are provided across the first and second regions. The stepped layer is an oxide layer formed at the same time when a device isolation oxide layer is formed on the chip region such that the test pattern according to the present invention has a similar configuration with the actual pattern on the chip region.
