The beneficial effect of above-mentioned further scheme is adopted to be: can when deep via etches as barrier layer protected device below it.
Further, described metal hard mask is titanium nitride film, and in described barrier layer, black diamond is 20 to one with the etching selection ratio of titanium nitride;
Further, described interlevel oxidation nitride layer is six to one with the etching selection ratio of photoresist, and described silicon nitride is six to one with the etching selection ratio of photoresist;
Further, described etching selection ratio is under equal conditions, etches bi-material, etches away the ratio of the degree of depth of bi-material after etching same time.
Adopt the beneficial effect of above-mentioned further scheme to be: accurately can be determined the degree of depth needing etching by etching selection ratio, improve the quality of backside illuminated image transducer further.
