Description of the invention (Field of invention A7 B7 402782) The present invention relates to a semiconductor process, especially a method for removing the original oxide layer. Background of the Invention: In order to meet the needs of Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuits (ULSI), semiconductors There have been significant advances in technology. New applications have driven the continuous advancement of semiconductor components, such as operating computer interfaces with sound processing, image processing, or other communication interfaces. All of these applications require a large amount of memory. Storage density improvement 'For example, when the size of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) is shrinking, maintaining a high enough storage charge for each capacitor is a challenge, and this process becomes more critical than before. Some subtle Misalignment or errors will cause the entire circuit to fail. ≪ Please read the note on the back before filling out this page.) When the printed circuit is manufactured by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the printed circuit is manufactured in various layers or between components. Electrically formed through contact holes or via holes For very large integrated circuits, it is an important task to establish an effective electrical connection path in sub-micron technology. At present, the formation of contact windows or interlayer window structures is facing space reduction requirements. Important and challenging task 'Because the small leakage current generated when individual components are improperly isolated, it will cause considerable power consumption for the entire circuit.' This paper standard applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) A7 printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-^ ------------- V. Description of Invention () 402782 Insulation is generally performed by etching and lithography process technology. Contact or interlayer window is formed in the layer, for example, the opening of a silicon oxide layer is etched on a silicon substrate or a silicon layer. As is well known, the etchant is a mixture of argon, cHf3 and oxygen in a plasma. A contact window or interlayer window of an appropriate shape is obtained. When the silicon layer or the silicon substrate is exposed in 2 minutes, the etching reaction will stop, and the silicon material is easily oxidized in an oxygen-containing environment, so the etching is performed. Rear contact window Silicon material is exposed is oxidized in an oxygen containing atmosphere, the oxide layer and the non-oxide layer so called original (native 〇xide) 7 is intended to form. The original pore layer will increase the resistance of the contact point and reduce the performance of electrical connection. Traditionally, wet dip is used to solve this problem, but the effect is not significant, and when the component size is reduced to the deep sub-micron range At the same time, the technology of manufacturing connected structures should be re-evaluated. Therefore, there is a need for a novel technology that can provide improved connectivity. Purpose and sincerity of ligL: The present invention includes forming a contact window in an insulating layer so as to expose a part of a substrate or a bottom layer to 'form a polycrystalline layer along the surface of the contact window and the insulating layer', and then Ion implantation implants dopant ions into the original oxide layer under the contact window in order to transform the original oxide layer into an amorphous silicon layer. The type of the metamorphism can be n or p conductivity, where n conductivity is, for example; 6 ^, Or plate; ρ conductivity such as boron, etc. 'Then the first conductive layer is formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer and backfilled to the contact window. Generally, the material of the first conductive layer is the paper standard applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (21〇X 297), installation -------- order ----------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) A7 402782 B7
