More particularly, the present invention relates to a mask for forming a contact hole of a semiconductor device and a method for forming a contact hole for forming a contact hole in an etched layer in a semiconductor device.
The pitch of the minimum contact hole that can be formed by the conventional 1.35 NA ArF immersion lithography technique is about 100 nm, and is about 50 nm on the half-pitch basis.
In order to reduce the pitch of the contact hole, a resist flow process or a resolution enhancement resolution (RELACS) process has been conventionally applied.

The present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, by forming a contact hole pattern by crossing a plurality of line-and-space patterns other than the conventional photoresist pattern for forming a contact hole, the diameter and pitch of the contact hole pattern An object of the present invention is to provide a mask for forming a contact hole and a method for forming a contact hole of a semiconductor device, which can be reduced in all and improve the yield of the semiconductor device by improving the uniformity of the contact hole pattern size.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of forming a first photosensitive film pattern of the line and space type, forming a second photosensitive film pattern of the line and space type in a direction perpendicular to the first photosensitive film pattern, Forming a line and space type third photoresist pattern parallel to the first photoresist pattern and positioned in a space between the first photoresist pattern, and parallel to the first photoresist pattern, and in a space between the first photoresist pattern Forming a fourth photoresist pattern of a line-and-space type to be positioned, thereby reducing both the diameter and the pitch of the contact hole pattern, and improving the yield of the semiconductor device by improving the uniformity of the size of the contact hole pattern. It is characterized by being.
Further, the line-and-space type first to fourth photoresist pattern may have a width of three times the width of the photoresist pattern and finally increase the resolution twice.
In addition, the line-and-space type first to fourth photoresist pattern may have a width of seven times the width of the photoresist pattern, thereby improving the resolution four times.
The method may further include freezing the first to fourth photoresist patterns, respectively, to protect the first photoresist pattern from being developed when each photoresist pattern is formed.
Further, the freezing of the first to fourth photoresist patterns may include coating a freezing agent on a surface of the first to fourth photoresist patterns and removing the coated freezing agent. It may include.
Alternatively, freezing the first to fourth photoresist patterns, respectively, may include baking the first to fourth photoresist patterns at 100 ° C. to 200 ° C. It is also preferable to include the step of irradiating light of the wavelength of 100 nm to 200 nm to the fourth photoresist pattern.
On the other hand, the contact hole forming mask of the semiconductor device according to the present invention is a line-and-space type first photosensitive film pattern, a line and space type second photosensitive film pattern formed in a direction perpendicular to the first photosensitive film pattern, the second A line-and-space-type third photosensitive film pattern parallel to the first photosensitive film pattern and positioned in a space between the first photosensitive film patterns, and a line-and-parallel parallel to the second photosensitive film pattern and parallel to the second photosensitive film pattern. Including the space-type fourth photoresist pattern, the diameter and pitch of the contact hole pattern can be similarly reduced, and the yield of the semiconductor device can be improved by improving the uniformity of the size of the contact hole pattern.

Since the line-and-space pattern has less optical proximity effect than the conventional contact-hole pattern, when the contact-hole pattern is formed using the line-and-space pattern as in the present invention, the line width and pitch uniformity of the contact hole pattern are compared with the conventional one.
