Description of the Invention (/) Technical Field: The present invention relates to a process technology for integrated circuits, and particularly to the use of self-align contact (SAC) Process technology for butted contact. Background of the Invention: The reduction in the size of semiconductor components and the increase in integrated density have significantly increased the circuit density on semiconductor substrates. This increase in circuit density has significantly improved electrical performance and reduced the production costs of today's electronic products. However, when the semiconductor industry is working to reduce the size of components, process problems and limitations on the electrical properties of the components make it difficult to manufacture integrated circuits that improve performance. One of the process limitations is the ability to accurately and reproducibly control the etching of contact windows with relatively thick insulating layers to substrates or to thin amorphous silicon layers or polycrystalline silicon layers (such as < 50A), which are nowadays Part of the internal wiring of a semiconductor device. This etch control problem is particularly serious in the fabrication of integrated circuits with multiple layers of polycrystalline silicon, so a self-aligned contact (SAC) process that can significantly reduce the contact window area was developed. Please refer to FIG. 1 for a typical conventional technique for forming a self-aligned contact (SAC) process and its limitations, including a gate oxide layer (not shown), a polycrystalline silicon or metal silicide layer 5, and an impurity doped region. (Not shown) Isoelectric components are formed on the active region and the isolation region of a semiconductor substrate 1 to form a silicon nitride (5 丨 31 ^ 4) overlying dielectric layer (^ 3 this 1 € (; 1:14) £:) 9 and side wall fine & 06] :) 11 for insulation of the gate, and then form borophosphoric doped glass (BPSG), etc. 2 This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 孓 t) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page)

Contact (SAC) window. However, because of the differences in the characteristics of silicon nitride and silicon oxide, when etching to the polycrystalline silicon gate contact window 21, additional etching is required to remove the silicon nitride that is not covered by the photoresist 23, as shown in FIG. In this way, a step of photolithography and etching is added, and the complexity of the process is also increased. On the other hand, in order to place the most components in a limited space on the die while still being effectively isolated, shallow trench isolation (STI) technology has been developed to replace traditional regional oxidation isolation. Technology (LOCOS), and in the way of connecting electrical components to each other, the earliest metal interconnects or plugs connect the polycrystalline silicon and the silicon substrate, and gradually use the Multi-contact head or buried contact (see S.
