BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: In the current integrated circuit manufacturing technology, the integrated circuit substrate is used. It is a six-inch or eight-inch silicon wafer, and the entire area is quite large. Therefore, in various process technologies, it is necessary to pay attention to the manufacturing of all semiconductor components on the entire silicon wafer. For example, plasma etching of the film layer The process, in the center and edge of the silicon wafer, will have different engraving rates due to the difference in plasma density. According to the structure design of the general semiconductor device, the plasma in the center of the "Xijing-circle, compared to the The plasma on the edge of the silicon wafer has a large density, so that the central region and the edge region of the silicon wafer have different etching rates. According to the above situation, In the etching process of circuit manufacturing, the uncertainty of semiconductor device manufacturing will be caused by the uneven etching rate. For example, in the etching process of forming a contact window with a silicon dioxide layer, the plasma etching of the silicon dioxide layer is performed. And due to the uneven plasma density, the trenches in the central area and the trenches in the edge area have different Etching depths. Read the note jk- affixed to the back 1¾ first.

Description of the invention () The following will refer to the first figure to The third figure illustrates the process of etching the silicon dioxide layer to form a contact window, and explains the different etching depths caused by the uneven plasma density. Please refer to the first figure to provide a semiconductor substrate 100 as the substrate of the integrated circuit Then, a silicon dioxide layer 110 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100 as an insulating material or a dielectric material of the integrated circuit, and then a bottom anti-reflection coating is formed. (Reflective coating, BARC) 120 covers the surface of the silicon dioxide layer 110. A photoresist pattern 130 is formed to cover the bottom anti-reflection coating 120 and expose the area of the bottom anti-reflection coating 120 to be etched. See also In the second figure, a plasma etching process is used to etch the bottom anti-reflection coating 120 'to expose the surface of the silicon dioxide layer 110. Please refer to the third figure, using a plasma etching process to etch the silicon dioxide layer 110, A contact hole is formed in the silicon layer 110 to form a contact hole of the semiconductor substrate 100. In the schematic cross-sectional view of the third figure, the central contact hole 140 and the edge contact hole 150 are formed in the silicon dioxide layer 110. According to the conventional As for the plasma etching technology, 'because the central region has a higher plasma density and a higher etch rate in the central region, the etching depth B1 of the central contact hole 140 will be greater than the etching depth B2 of the edge contact hole 150. . Therefore, using the conventional plasma etching technology to perform the etching process of the integrated circuit will cause the central region and the edge region of the silicon wafer to have different etching depths. According to the design of advanced semiconductor plasma etching equipment, three plasma power sources are used in the plasma etching equipment, and one bias plasma power source is installed —____ 3 This paper is applicable to the national standard (CNS> Λ4 gauge pile (210x297mm ~ (For the precautions for reading first, then fill in the "Η" page) Order A2B9 A 2 · AT H7 V.

In the description of the etching depth of the trench in the plasma etching reaction chamber, the etching depth will be inconsistent due to the different positions of the trench on the silicon wafer, as shown in the third figure.

This situation caused by the difference in the position and the depth of the money engraving rate can be adjusted by the plasma button engraving reaction chamber The power source makes a uniform plasma density on the surface of the silicon wafer to solve the above problems. Generally speaking, in the general experiment process, the inner power source and the outer power source are adjusted to a certain ratio. In other words, when the inner power source is about a certain ratio compared to the outer power source, the plasma density will be increased. It tends to be uniform, so that the surface of the silicon wafer has a uniform etching rate. Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Consumer Cooperative, but using the above method can solve the problem of inconsistent etching rates. The absolute size difference between the central area and the edge area before and after the etching is not the same, and the formed integrated circuit will have poor reliability. Therefore, a method for improving the absolute size uniformity of integrated circuits in a dual-coil inductively coupled plasma etching reaction chamber is required, and the surface of the silicon wafer has a uniform etching rate to improve the reliability and pattern of the integrated circuits.

V. Description of the invention (The inner plasma power source and outer plasma power source of the reaction produce a uniform plasma density on the surface of the silicon wafer. In the schematic diagram of the scraped surface in the third figure, the central contact The hole 140 and the edge contact hole 150 are formed in the silicon dioxide layer 110. The isotropic etching process of the photoresist pattern 130 is performed by using a plasma ignition step, so that the absolute dimension of the trench 150 after touching (Critical dimension after etching) inspection) is larger than the absolute size of the trench 140 after the etching. Therefore, because of the absolute size compensation action after the etching of the trench 150, after the main etching process of the silicon dioxide layer 110, the trench 140 and the trench 150 will have the same absolute dimension difference (Criticai dimension bias). Therefore, in the dual-coil induction coupling plasma etching reaction chamber, adjust the inner plasma power source and the outer plasma power source of the reaction chamber to improve the integrated circuit. The absolute size uniformity is the process of isotropically etching the photoresist pattern using oxygen and argon in the plasma ignition step of the reaction chamber, so that the edge area of the silicon wafer The etching pattern has a larger absolute size than the etching pattern in the central area, and in the main etching process, the photoresist pattern is used as the engraved mask to make the etching pattern on the silicon wafer have the same absolute size. And the etching rate. The present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make some minor modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the scope of patent protection should be regarded as the attached application.
