An inter-layer dielectric (ILD) 20 is formed by chemical vapor deposition on the above-mentioned substrate 2, field oxide layer 4, cover layer 10, and side wall spacer 14 'the inter-layer dielectric The layer 20 may be side glass, such as BPTE0S. The inner electric layer (ILD) 20 is to prevent the short circuit caused by the contact between the subsequent deposited film layer and the polycrystalline silicon layer 接触 6 in contact with the active area 12. One of the advantages of the present invention is that when the contact window is formed, it does not cause the side wall spacer 14 or the cover layer 10 to be etched to expose the polycrystalline silicon layer 8. Because of the self-aligned contact window etching in this embodiment, The Reverse SAc Etch Process cannot etch the silicon nitride layer 14 in the sidewall gap. The present invention does not need to increase the thickness of the cover layer 10 in order to prevent the short circuit phenomenon, so the topography and topography (t〇p〇graphy) of the appearance does not become steep due to the too thick cover layer; Secondly, the present invention also does not require Making multiple side wall spacers to = short circuit: Another advantage of the present invention is that it will not cause etching of neodymium due to excessive U generation, and the manufacturing process will not be limited by hardware equipment. -9- The paper ruler is very thin.) ---- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • Binding.
