| 1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a scribe line region disposed on a semiconductor substrate;
a main scale layer having line and space patterns disposed on the scribe line region; and
vernier scale patterns disposed on space regions of the line and space patterns of the main scale layer, the vernier scale
patterns having a line shape and having smaller widths than those of line patterns of the main scale layer, wherein the space
regions of the main scale layer are disposed between the line patterns of the main scale layer.
