A measurement pattern for monitoring overlay shift of bonded wafers includes a top wafer pattern and a bottom wafer pattern. The top wafer pattern includes a first portion with a width Wx1 measured along a first axis. The bottom wafer pattern includes a first part with a width Wx2 measured along the first axis, wherein the first portion of the top wafer pattern and the first part of the bottom wafer pattern are separated by a target distance Dx, and wherein the measurement pattern satisfies the following measurement formulas:

Tx>Dx−Sx;

Tx Sx;
