Description of the invention (I) The present invention relates to a method that can correct the optical close-up effect in the photolithography process (Optical Proximity Effect, ΟΡΕ) bit line pattern, and in particular, it relates to a bit line pattern suitable for reducing optical proximity effect in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device. When the accumulation of dynamic random access memory continues to increase, the separation distance between memory cells decreases accordingly, which increases the difficulty of lithography and also increases the challenge of circuit design. In the lithography process, a wafer (Wafer) surface is first covered with a photoresist, and then a photomask with a defined pattern is used as a network mask (Reticle). After the parallel light from the light source passes through the screen mask, the wafer surface photoresist layer is exposed (Exposure), and after development, the pattern on the screen mask is transferred to the photoresist layer to complete the lithography step. Network cable screen is an indispensable element in lithographic equipment. There is a single-layer circuit design pattern of integrated circuit components on the network cable cover. A typical network cable cover is composed of a flat and transparent quartz glass plate. The pattern of each layer of the semiconductor element is made by covering a layer of light-blocking matenal on the surface of the glass. The material of the light-blocking substance includes chromium. . The cable shield is placed between the light source of the lithographic equipment and the focusing lenses. This light source generates light waves with a specific wavelength range. The focusing lens is a component of a stepper. One. When performing the lithography step, place the wafer with the photoresist layer on the bottom of the stepper. 'Specified wave 4 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the back first (Notes for filling in this page) Fill in. Order 349Stwf.doc / 005 349Stwf.doc / 005 Printed bags A7 B7 of the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (>) Long-range light waves On the screen of the network cable, the light waves will pass through the quartz glass that is not covered by the chrome film, and then be projected on the photoresist layer on the wafer surface to completely transfer the line pattern on the screen of the network cable to the photoresist layer. When the wavelength of the light wave generated by the light source is larger than the Feature Sizes on the line pattern of the network cable screen, the light wave will be affected by the chromium film on the screen screen when it passes through the network cable screen, causing refract and scattering. (Scatter). Due to the interference of refraction and scattering, the pattern transferred to the photoresist layer has the phenomenon of corner rounding or optical distortion. In the case where the characteristic size of the line pattern on the cover is large, for example, when the critical dimensions of the line pattern are larger than 1 μm, the influence of scattering and refraction is small. However, when the characteristic size of the line pattern on the mask is less than 1 μm, the effects of scattering and refraction are very serious. Especially when the characteristic size of the line pattern is close to the wavelength of the light wave used in the lithography process, the phenomenon of arcing and phase difference caused by scattering and refraction is very obvious. This kind of phase difference caused by refraction, diffraction (diffraction) and scattering is called optical close-range effect (OPE). Such errors in the transfer of line patterns such as bit lines or interconnects will lead to poor pattern resolution after the transfer, resulting in critical dimension deviations, which will reduce yield. , Or even completely unusable. To address the effects of the optical close-up effect ', many different methods have been developed to correct the optical close-up effect. For example, Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) is to add a light-shielding area at a specific position of the original pattern when setting up the screen pattern of the Ten Mesh Cable Screen. 5 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS > A4 Specifications (210X297 cm) I ^ I Binding (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 3498twf.doc / 005 3498twf.doc / 005 Printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention ( Order) to overcome the phase difference effect caused by diffraction and scattering. Another method to reduce the optical close-up effect is to use a phase shifting mask (Phase Shifting Mask) for the lithography step. In addition, it is also possible to use variable illumination Illumination), such as oblique illumination (Oblique Illumination), change the incident angle of the illumination source to improve the pattern resolution and reduce the optical close-up effect. Although these conventional methods can improve the effect of optical close-up effect, such as using phase shift Type photomask controls the phase of light waves during exposure; the use of variable illumination controls the light wave diffraction stages during exposure Order of Diffraction), in order to reduce the deviation caused by pattern transfer. However, in practical applications, these conventional methods are still difficult to correct the optical proximity effect. In the dynamic random access memory system process, the circuit pattern layer is made. The mask of the interconnects and etching to form these interconnects are necessary steps. These interconnects include bit lines. Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a conventional method for etching to form dynamic random Access the mask patterns of bit lines in the memory. The via pads (Vm Pads) in the bit line mask pattern 101 are between a plurality of inner lines 10 parallel arranged at equal intervals. When these As the distance between the parallel interconnects of the bit lines is reduced, the optical close-up effect will cause the bit line patterns to differ when the pattern is transferred. Please refer to Figure 1, the bit line mask pattern 10 is in the micro The ideal design pattern on the screen of the network cable in the shadow equipment 'Where the lithography equipment includes a stepper. The bit line mask pattern 101 includes a plurality of parallel bit lines. 6 This paper size applies to Chinese national standards (CNS ) A4 (21〇 > < 297 public envy) ---- ^ ------ ^ ------, 1T ------ j (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) 3498twf.doc / 005 A7 ____B7 V.

This conductive contact layer is used to electrically connect the capacitor memory element underneath it. In addition, each of the plurality of contact pads 105 on two bit lines 103 separated by one bit line 103 is aligned with each other in the direction of the vertical bit line to form a checkerboard pattern. When the accumulation degree of the dynamic random access memory is increased, the distance between the bit lines 103 in the first figure and the distance between the contact pads 105 will decrease accordingly. Therefore, when the ideal bit line reticle pattern 101 in FIG. 1 is transferred to the photoresist layer on the surface of the wafer, the transferred pattern has a serious deviation due to the optical proximity effect.

Comparing Figure 1 with Figure 2, you can see that the contact pad 105 in Figure 1 has a vertical corner. When the mask pattern is transferred to the photoresist layer on the wafer surface, the side portion of the linear pattern is due to the optical proximity effect It will become more bulged than the original pattern. The vertical corners will form smooth rounded corners, so that the contact pad 205 in FIG. 2 has an arc shape. When the contact pad 205 generates a pattern expansion due to the optical proximity effect and is connected to an adjacent bit line, it causes a bridging effect. If this bridge effect is left uncorrected, it will cause electrical short-circuits in subsequent processes, which will reduce 7 paper sizes and use Chinese national standards (CNS > A4 size (210X297 mm) 3498twf.doc / 005 A7 ____B7_ 5. Description of the invention (Γ) The yield of the product. In general, the bridging effect is the result of diffraction caused when a mask pattern with clear corners or edges is used for exposure as shown in Figure 1. In the lithography process The lens on the stepper has an aperture. However, this lens cannot collect higher order diffracted light (Higher Order Diffraction), so the high frequency harmonics of the incident light will be missed during imaging, and a bridge will appear. The corner of the effect is rounded.
