Description of the invention (/) Field of the invention: Please read the back note & 4Ϊ, item # to fill out this TΓ The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing isolation between metal structures in integrated circuits, especially about A manufacturing method for isolation between a bit line and a capacitor node in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) process of an integrated circuit. Background of the Invention: The typical stacked dynamic random access memory of T-5 slope is to manufacture a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and a capacitor (Silicon Semiconductor Wafer) on a silicon semiconductor wafer (Silicon Semiconductor Wafer). Capacitor), and the drain of the field effect transistor is used to connect a charge storage electrode (Storage Node) of a capacitor to form a memory cell of a dynamic random access memory. A large number of memory cells are aggregated into a cell array. On the other hand, there are other circuits around the memory cell array, such as circuits such as sense amplifiers. These external circuits are called peripheral circuits. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Flooding in recent years, the packing density of dynamic random access memory (Packing Density) has increased rapidly, and has now entered the memory cell size of 1.5 square micrometers, which is 64.4 million bits. Japan ’s semiconductor company NEC announced in 1995 that a prototype of a billion-bit dynamic random-access memory (1GB DRAM) prototype was available. Therefore, auto-alignment technology is even more important in high-density-density processes. The photomask's solution to the problems caused by inaccuracy is also one of the important issues in the high-density process. Please refer to Figure 1 for the fabrication of bit lines and capacitor nodes in the conventional DRAM manufacturing process. The paper dimensions are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) (210x29 'i ΙΓ) 5. Sectional view of the process of isolation between the invention description (A)' As an example, a mask misalignment error occurs during line production. In Figure 1A, a MOS transistor, a first oxide layer 20, and a polycrystalline silicon contact pad 81, a second oxide layer 30, And the substrate 10 of the polycrystalline silicon bit line structure 62, wherein the MOS transistor includes a source (not shown), a drain D, and a gate structure (including a gate oxide layer 90, a polycrystalline silicon layer 61, nitrogen The silicon sidewall 71 and the silicon nitride cover layer 72), and the polycrystalline silicon contact pad 81 is in contact with the drain D. Next, please refer to FIG. 1B, deposit a third oxide layer 40, and define the subsequent capacitor manufacturing requirements The photoresist pattern 50 of the contact window of the capacitive node; then, etching is performed to remove the third oxide layer 40 and the second oxide layer 30 that are not covered by the photoresist 50 to open the contact window. Printing (please read A on the back: '--Read-:' and then fill in the page too, 0 Next, referring to FIG. 1C, a nitride liner 73 having an isolation conductive layer function is formed on the sidewall of the contact window. The manufacturing step is to first deposit silicon nitride, and then perform vertical vertical alignment of the silicon nitride. In high-density process, mask misalignment often occurs. The deviation of the bit line position prevents the silicon nitride pad layer from completely covering the bit line 62. (Part A is shown in the figure at A The silicon bit line is exposed). Therefore, in Figure 1D, after the polycrystalline silicon plug 82 in the contact window of the capacitor node is formed, a short circuit of the bit line and the capacitor node will occur at A. The contact area between the polycrystalline silicon plug 82 and the contact pad 81 will be reduced. Therefore, in order to improve the quality and yield of DRAM products, it is an important object of the present invention to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention: The main object of the present invention is to Provide a metal structure in integrated circuit
