[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applied to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and in particular to a microfabrication technology for elements in order to increase the degree of integration and shorten the access speed of a semiconductor device. The purpose of forming contact holes is to form connection holes for electrical connections between layers in multilayer wiring of semiconductor devices. , holes for electrode windows formed in semiconductor substrates, and other devices used for isolation between elements. Normally, when forming contact holes, a thick resist film is deposited on the substrate and patterned. This is then etched using a reactive ion etching (RIru) device to form a contact knurl, but in the past, the resist film was thick (therefore, there was a limit to the accuracy of patterning, and the shape of the formed contact hole was The maximum length of one side of the opening is about 1.2 μm, so the depth is long compared to the area of the opening, that is, the aspect ratio is large, for example, a contact with an opening area of 1 μm2 and a depth of about 1 μm. It is difficult to form holes, and therefore there is a need for an easy and accurate method for forming contact holes with a large aspect ratio in order to manufacture fine semiconductor devices.
