Try to form a melt in the process of forming a metal contact hole (via contact) at the same time. * ^ Brother bath 4 window opening, but this fuse The formation of a window or fuse window opening 10—a new step _α creates new problems because the fuse window 10 is formed by excavating several dielectric layers or coating layers 12, 14, and 16. ' Therefore, the interface between the dielectric layer or the coating layer 12, 14, and 16 will be exposed, which will cause the problem of intrusion of external water vapor, ions and impurities from the interface 10a and 10b, and water vapor and impurities from the interface 10a & 10b penetrates the internal lead structures 22 and 24, and even penetrates the components on the substrate, resulting in its material and Chemical reactions of gases, ions, impurities, etc. cause problems such as oxidation or corrosion, further affecting or destroying its operating characteristics, making the paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0X297). ------ 4 ----- Install I (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Threading Φ · Printed by A7 B7, Zhengong Consumer Cooperative, Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs ) The reliability and yield of the product are greatly reduced. Moreover, when a fuse window 10 is formed in a conventional process, a dielectric layer 26 as shown in the first figure will be left above the fuse 18, and the dielectric layer 26 is usually thousands of angstroms thick and has light transmission properties. Or transparent materials, such as silicon oxide, etc., in the process of firing the fuse 18 with a laser, the dielectric layer 2 6 must be blown open with a high energy so that the fuse 18 can be reliably Fusing and becoming an open circuit. This high energy requirement will make the laser repair process more difficult to control, and it is more likely to cause the leakage current caused by the fuse 18 not being completely blown, making the laser repair process reliable. The degree is thus reduced. In the current more advanced semiconductor processes, the so-called self-aligned contact (SAC) process is often used, except that it is generally applied to the first polycrystalline silicon (poly-1) structure. Can be further applied to the structure of the second polycrystalline silicon wire (poly: 2); that is, a cap dielectric and a dielectric on the side wall are formed on the upper side and on both sides of the second polycrystalline silicon dream wire. Material (sidewall dielectric). In the traditional manufacturing process, it is often necessary to use several photomasks and corresponding lithography and etching processes to form a fuse window. This complicated process, which requires multiple photomasks, leads to a significant increase in manufacturing cost and time. For fuse structures with upper dielectric materials and sidewall dielectric materials, further simplified and efficient processes must be developed. Therefore, there is currently a need for a photomask-related manufacturing process method that can reduce the coating after metal wire wiring. At the same time, a new process method is used to improve the process of forming the fuse window before and after the fuse window. (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

Explanation of the invention () The process of printing the conductor substrate on the conductor substrate of the Goods and Consumers Cooperative of the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs and forming the second wire layer structure and fuse window at the same time is taken as an example to explain the implementation of the present invention. The method for forming a fused silk window with side wall protection in the present invention can be integrated into a general metallization process, and the step of forming the last layer of the wire layer structure is therefore familiar to those skilled in the art. The method is applied to various processes of forming a fuse window, and is integrated with the steps of forming different wire layer structures. The details that can be changed during implementation are not described in detail. See Figure 2a. First, the semiconductor substrate 30 is provided. Generally, the most commonly used material for the substrate 30 is silicon and the crystal orientation is < 1〇〇 > If necessary, a substrate with different crystal orientation or different materials is used. The substrate 30 has a formed fuse 32, a first conductor structure 34, and multiple dielectric layers 36, 38, and 40. Generally speaking, the substrate There will be many fused silk and first conductor structures on the 30, but for ease of introduction, only a single structure is shown in the figure. At the same time, more layers of conductor structure can be used instead of being limited to a single layer structure in the figure. Taking a process of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) as an example, in a preferred embodiment, the fuse 32 is formed on the second polysilicon wire layer (poly_2). Therefore, as shown in the second vertical cross-sectional schematic diagram in the second b, after the fuse 32 is formed, it has a dielectric material 3 2 c above the fuse and a dielectric material 3 2 d on the side wall of the fuse. At the side walls. The dielectric material 32c above the fuse may be a silicon nitride layer covering the fuse 32.

The dielectric layer in this example may include three dielectric layers, in order from bottom to top, an inter-polysilicon oxide (ΐρ〇) 36, an inter-level dielectric (ILD) 38 And an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) 40, and the 'dielectric layer' can also be composed of different combinations and number of layers under different designs and processes. Referring to FIG. 3a, the dielectric layers 36, 38, and 40 ′ are partially removed to form a metal connection hole 42 and a fuse window 44 therein. The metal connection hole 42 extends to the first conductor structure 34. In order to fill in the connected conductors in the subsequent steps, the 'fuse window 44 is formed at the position of the fuse 3 2 in the dielectric layers 36, 38, and 40' and extends to the dielectric material 3 2 c above the fuse and The dielectric material 3 2 d on the side wall of the fuse is left to leave a convex-shaped dissolving wire structure 3 2 r, as shown in the schematic cross-sectional view in the other vertical direction in the third figure b. In this example, the method of forming the metal connection hole 42 and the fuse window 44 is to use a process of wet etching and dry etching successively to form the metal connection hole 42 and the fuse window. 44 The shape of the opening above the 44 is wide; During the process of etching, the shape of the large opening of the metal quick contact hole 42 and the fuse window 44 is relatively large; then in the non-isotropic dry name engraving process, it is formed closer to the downward engraving process. The shape of the vertical sidewall is shown in the third a and the third b. In the traditional manufacturing process, 'the formation of the metal connection hole 42 and the fuse window 44 is performed by two separate processes. Generally, it is first formed. The metal connection hole 42 is filled into the conductor layer', and then another The process forms a fuse window 44.

Description of the invention () The etching of the silk window 44 can reduce the number of photomasks required, and reduce the process steps and costs of the required rods. Referring to FIG. 4a, a second conductor structure 46 is then formed in and above the metal connection hole 42. The second conductor structure 46 may be a single conductor material or a combination of multiple conductor materials, and is used multiple times. It is formed by deposition or sputtering, and then a patterning process is used to define its connection pattern to form a second conductor structure 46. Figure 4b shows a schematic cross-sectional view in a vertical direction. Then, a coating film layer 48 is formed on the second conductor structure 46, the fuse window 44, and the raised fuse 32r. As shown in FIG. 5a, FIG. 5b shows a schematic cross-sectional view in the vertical direction. . The coating layer 48 is made of a material with better protection against external moisture, ions and impurities. In this example, the coating layer 48 may use a combination of an oxide layer and a nitride layer. The silicon layer may be formed by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The thickness is between 1000 angstroms and 3,000 angstroms, and a silicon nitride layer is formed on the oxide layer by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The thickness of the silicon nitride layer is about 3000 angstroms to 8,000 angstroms. In addition, the coating film layer 48 can also use only a silicon nitride layer, and a plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition method can also be used to form a silicon nitride layer with a thickness of about 4000 angstroms to 8000 angstroms. Differently, the coating film layer 48 is composed of several oxide layers and several silicon nitride layers. See Figure 6a, and then remove part of the coating film layer 48 to the dielectric material 32c above the fuse and the dielectric material 32d of the fuse side wall.
