Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a patterning process and a reticle, and more particularly to avoiding offset due to stacking (〇verlay tolerance A method of creating a mis-aiignment patterning process and a chrome-less phase lithography (CPL) reticle. [Prior Art] In the semiconductor process, the patterning or the doping region of each film layer is determined by the lithography process. The lithography process first forms a layer of photoresist on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Then, an exposure and development step is performed to transfer the pattern on the photomask to the photoresist layer on the wafer such that the pattern of the photoresist layer is the same as that of the mask. Therefore, the quality of the mask will directly affect the quality of the semiconductor process. Although the photomask has been widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, as the size of the device is reduced, the size of the opening and line width of the pattern on the photomask is also reduced. Limited by the wavelength of the exposure light source, if the distance between the shielding layers on the reticle is too close, the light beam passing through the reticle will cause a large diffraction effect on the surface of the wafer, which affects the uniformity of exposure of the photoresist. The resolution is getting worse. Under such conditions, phase shift mask (PSM) lithography has been gradually applied in practical processes to improve the resolution of lithography processes. In the semiconductor process that has been witnessed, the chrome-free phase-shifting reticle is one of the more commonly used phase-shifting reticle. 1A to 1D are cross-sections of a fabrication process of a conventional chromium-free phase shift mask. 200842491 94082 22054twldoc/n.

The masking layer 102 is typically a chrome film or other metallic masking material. Then, a patterned photoresist layer 1〇4 is formed on the shielding layer 102. Then, referring to FIG. 1B, the patterned photoresist layer 1〇4 is used as a mask to perform a dry etching process to remove the shielding layer 102 exposed by the patterned photoresist layer 1〇4 to form a patterned shielding layer. 1〇2,.

However, in the process of making the reticle, the error in the process machine is 200842491 94082 22054twfd〇c/T1 !ι1:〇ΓΓ e ) For example, the electron beam drawing machine JBX3030 The maximum Nie material is low, that is, when using this type of machine to write the same pattern on the first cover, the pattern alignment error is 4 feet. In detail, in Figure m, the pattern is formed. The photoresist layer 1 has a quasi-missing error due to the offset of the crucible, so that there is still a part of the patterned mask layer on the substrate 1GG of the phase shift layer of Jindengqing, which is becoming more and more semiconductor process technology. After the advancement, how to solve the f-phase reticle will encounter __ questions to enhance the micro-shadow clothes, and one of the important topics to be faced in the process.

The invention provides a method for fabricating a photomask, and a substrate for the shielding layer. Then, on the younger brother, a patterned photoresist layer. _, the removing portion forms a patterned shielding layer and an opening, wherein the patterned second pattern: t resist layer. The second patterned photoresist 4^ exits the knife and exposes at least a portion of the opening next to the second portion, and the area exposed by the patterned photoresist layer is at least larger than the second portion 200842491 ^4U»z zzuo4twf.d〇 The sum of the c/n visibility is twice the maximum overlap tolerance between the first patterned photoresist layer and the second patterned photoresist layer. Thereafter, the second portion and the second patterned photoresist layer are sequentially removed. According to the manufacturing method of the reticle according to the embodiment of the invention, the method for removing the second portion is, for example, a dry etching process. The method for fabricating a reticle according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the method for forming the patterned shielding layer and the opening is, for example, using a patterned photoresist layer as a masking layer for removing a portion of the mask to form a patterned mask. Floor. Then, the first patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask to remove a portion of the substrate. According to the manufacturing method of the reticle according to the embodiment of the invention, the material of the substrate is, for example, quartz, and the material of the shielding layer is, for example, chromium. The present invention further provides a patterning process comprising the steps of first forming a layer of material on a substrate, such as a material having a (10) etchmg rate greater than the button engraving rate of the substrate. Next, a first patterned photoresist layer is formed on the substrate. _, removing a portion of the material layer from the substrate, =匕 patterning, and forming the patterned material layer with the opening' Following this, the first patterned photoresist layer is removed. At the bottom, the second level of the case is called. The second patterned photoresist-part and exposes the second portion and exposes at least the second=1 partial opening, and the second patterned photoresist layer exposes the area to the second #::--- The first - the case of the photoresist layer and the second pattern: (4) the sum of the two times the maximum overlap offset. Accordingly, the P-knife and the second patterned photoresist layer are sequentially removed. According to the patterning process of the embodiment of the present invention, the second figure 200842491 y^u6z ^uD4tw£doc/n rt is (in the case of the base field silk material layer i to == and the step 'to remove the first The second portion is adjacent to the second portion of the photoresist layer on the opening of the main gate. According to the patterning process of the embodiment of the present invention, the formation method of the upper layer = for example, the layer of the patterned material is formed by the material layer ' having the first patterned photoresist layer as the first layer. Thereafter, the patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask to remove portions of the substrate. The contact lens of the reticle is made to be erected by the width of the shielding layer to be removed and the two photoresists; the second offset of the second layer is twice the offset The sum of the sums thus occurs in the case of removal of partial missolving errors, and the desired compliant masking layer can still be removed in the presence of machine errors. When the patterning process is performed by the above method, it is also possible to avoid the misalignment caused by the crater and affect the accuracy of the patterning process. In order to make the above and other objects, ships and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following specific embodiments, and in conjunction with the following formula 0, are described in detail. [Embodiment] FIGS. 2A to 2D are implemented in accordance with the present invention. A cross-sectional view of the process of the patterning process. ^ 八百百先, please refer to FIG. 2A, a substrate 200 is provided, such as a total layer, a germanium substrate or other semiconductor substrate. Then, a material layer 202 and a patterned photoresist layer 2〇4 are formed on the substrate 200. The material layer 2 〇 2 9 200842491 zzuj4twf.doc / n 5 etch rate of the substrate 200. The method of patterning the photoresist layer 204 is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and is no longer a shot. 1 Please refer to FIG. 2β' to pattern the photoresist layer 204 as a mask, and remove the The layer of material covered by the patterned photoresist layer 204 is divided into a third part and a second part. Two Li and two, in the subsequent process, the remaining portion is the first portion, and the opening i is formed in the 204 to remove a portion of the substrate, so that the substrate is removed, and the patterned photoresist layer 204 is moved as shown in FIG. 2C. except. Next, a photoresist layer (not shown) is formed on the crucible. Thereafter, the photoresist layer on the photoresist pattern 220 is removed, and the area map is formed, and the photoresist layer is exposed by 2〇4 and 0*; a width and pattern are applied. The maximum overlap offset d between the start of the photoresist layer and the photoresist layer 208 is twice; the same offset is caused by the machine used and the lightness of the device. Formation: = Case __' and there is a case where a pairwise offset occurs. H吏 cannot be completely exposed. Therefore, when the machine is set/expanded, the area patterned light 200842491 z, z, uj4twf.doc/n resist layer 208 is larger than the width of the second portion, and this area is also larger than the second part 2〇2b. Width 盥 max & the sum of two times the offset d, even in the case of the most severe overlap offset, such as the left offset is the maximum overlap offset d, the maximum overlap The displacement d, the second portion 2 Na can still === The patterned photoresist layer 208 is exposed. In addition, in other embodiments, the range of the patterned photoresist layer 2〇8 may also be the entire area of π 2 〇6, and after the resist layer 208 covers only the first part 202ae, please refer to FIG. 2D. With the patterned photoresist layer 2〇8 as a mask, an I-etch process is performed to remove the second portion 202b. When the engraving process is performed, since the side rate of the patterned material layer 202 is greater than the substrate surname rate, it is therefore possible to remove only the second portion subsequent to b without removing the substrate 200 at the bottom of the opening 2〇6, avoiding the opening. The depth of the application has an impact. Subsequently, the patterned photoresist layer 208 is removed, ie, the patterning process of the present invention is completed.
