The method of shared SL mask plate in the product of direct chemical mechanical polishing process
Technical field
The present invention relates to the semiconductor integrated circuit field, particularly relate to a kind of in the product of direct chemical mechanical polishing process the method for shared SL (scribe line mask plate) mask plate.
Background technology
For the device that adopts STI (shallow trench isolation leaves) to isolate below the 0.18 μ m, its CMP (chemical-mechanical planarization) process generally has two kinds, and a kind of is common CMP, and a kind of is DCMP (direct chemical mechanical polishing).
Common CMP comprises two photoetching levels: the STI photoetching, etching is filled S
iO
2, reverse STI photoetching, the S on the etching source region
iO
2, CMP forms STI.
DCMP has only a photoetching level: the STI photoetching, etching is filled S
iO
2, CMP forms STI.
In DCMP technology; When STI formed, all structure partials rose and fell and reach minimum, to keep the homogeneity of various structures; But photoetching alignment mark also has been flattened simultaneously; Therefore in follow-up film forming procedure, the photoetching alignment mark step degree of depth is not enough, finally causes follow-up photoetching level can't aim at and alignment.It is regional and add etching just to need this moment to use the extra photoetching process of one deck to open photoetching alignment mark, makes the photoetching alignment mark shoulder height of final formation can satisfy the demand of follow-up photoetching Alignment Process, shown in Fig. 3-5.The employed mask plate of this layer photoetching promptly is called the SL mask plate.
Fig. 1-2 does not adopt the SL mask plate to carry out the schematic flow sheet of photoetching, etching in DCMP technology.Form the deposition (referring to Fig. 2) that polysilicon is directly carried out in back (referring to Fig. 1) at STI.
Fig. 3-the 5th adopts the SL mask plate to carry out the schematic flow sheet of photoetching, etching in DCMP technology.Form back (referring to Fig. 3) at STI, adopt the SL mask plate to carry out photoetching and S
iO
2Etching (referring to Fig. 4), and then carry out the deposition (referring to Fig. 5) of polysilicon.
DCMP process using SL mask plate traditional carries out in the method for photoetching, etching; Because the design of the mask plate of each product is different; The position of each photoetching alignment mark on mask plate is also all different, so the product of each DCMP technology all needs a SL mask plate separately.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem that the present invention will solve provide a kind of in the product of direct chemical mechanical polishing process the method for shared SL mask plate, make a shared SL mask plate between all products that adopt DCMP, save production cost.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above; Of the present invention in the product of direct chemical mechanical polishing process the method for shared SL mask plate be to adopt following technical scheme to realize: design a general SL mask plate; It comprises the figure of opening of each photoetching alignment mark, each overlay mark open the dark space that is used to prevent mask aligner baffle plate light leak between figure and said each figure; Through setting different mask plate baffle plates, the parameter of mask plate side-play amount and silicon chip side-play amount makes said SL mask plate be used for the product of different DCMP technology when photoetching.
Adopt method of the present invention, can be in the product of different DCMP technology a shared SL mask plate, can effectively reduce the production cost.
Description of drawings
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is done further detailed explanation:
Fig. 1-2 does not adopt the SL mask plate to carry out the schematic flow sheet of photoetching, etching in the DCMP technology;
Fig. 3-the 5th adopts the SL mask plate to carry out the schematic flow sheet of photoetching, etching in the DCMP technology;
Fig. 6 is a kind of general SL mask plate one embodiment sketch map.
Embodiment
Describedly in the product of direct chemical mechanical polishing process, during the method practical implementation of shared SL mask plate, need special general SL mask plate of design.Fig. 6 is said general SL mask plate one embodiment sketch map; Comprising the figure of opening of each photoetching alignment mark, each overlay mark open the dark space that is used to prevent mask aligner baffle plate light leak between figure and said each figure.Through setting different mask plate baffle plates, the parameter of mask plate side-play amount and silicon chip side-play amount makes that the SL mask plate of this piece particular design can be shared in the product of different DCMP technology, carries out photoetching to open the photo-etching mark zone when photoetching.
In the product of different DCMP technology, use described general SL mask plate to carry out photoetching and can adopt following diverse ways:
1, Different products is set different mask plate baffle plates according to the coordinate of its photoetching alignment mark, the parameter of mask plate side-play amount and silicon chip side-play amount.
2, Different products is set different mask plate baffle plates according to the coordinate of its photoetching alignment mark, and the parameter of silicon chip side-play amount.
3, Different products is set different mask plate baffle plates according to the coordinate of its photoetching alignment mark, and the parameter of mask plate side-play amount.
4, opening follow-up photoetching level at least aims at and the required photo-etching mark of alignment.
More than through embodiment the present invention has been carried out detailed explanation, but these are not to be construed as limiting the invention.Under the situation that does not break away from the principle of the invention, those skilled in the art also can make many distortion and improvement, and these also should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
