In particular, the double metal inlaying process requires two lithographic processes, which makes it difficult to control the process. One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a metal interconnect > which can simplify the manufacture of p, save costs, and increase component performance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing metal interconnects. The photoresist silicidation process can be used to silicify the photoresist layer to form an inner metal dielectric layer (IMD), so as to simplify the process of metal interconnects. . According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a metal interconnect is proposed, which is suitable for a semiconductor process and includes the following steps. First, a semiconductor substrate having a part of a component formed is provided. A photoresist layer is then formed on the substrate. Then, a photoresist layer is defined to form an opening in the photoresist layer to expose the substrate. Then, a silicidation process is performed to silicify the photoresist layer to form a silicidated photoresist layer.

Description of the invention u) Opening graphics and ditch graphics One photomask 'exposes and develops the photoresist layer, and a partially transparent film layer is formed in advance on the trench pattern of the photomask, so that the intensity of the light source for exposure through the trench pattern is less than that through the opening pattern. strength. In this way, the effect of photoresist exposure in the trench pattern area is poor during exposure, so a part of the thickness of the photoresist layer remains after development, and the photoresist layer in the open pattern area is completely removed after development due to better exposure effect. . Next, a silicidation process is performed to silicify the photoresist layer to form a sanded photoresist layer. A metal layer is formed on the silicided photoresist layer and fills the openings and trenches. After that, the metal layer other than the opening is removed.

The depth of the trench 406 is smaller than the depth of the opening 404, and the substrate 400 under the opening 404 is exposed. To produce such a structure, an exposure process can be performed on the photoresist layer 402 by using a photomask 408 having an opening pattern and a trench pattern defined at the same time. This photomask 402 is, for example, a light source for exposure. If you ca n’t pass the pattern, please read the it-item first! The paper size of the bound booklet applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (2 丨 0 X 297 mm) A7 B7 4925twf.doc / 008 5. Description of the invention ( 7) 409. The opening pattern is transferred to the photoresist layer 402, and a partially transmissive film layer 410 is formed in advance at the position where the trench pattern is to be defined, so that the intensity of the light source passing through the trench pattern is less than Through the intensity of the opening pattern. In this way, the effect of the photoresist exposure in the trench pattern area during the exposure is poor ', so a portion of the photoresist layer remains after the development to form the trench 406. The photoresist layer in the opening pattern area is completely removed after development due to the better exposure effect, forming an opening 404 and exposing the substrate 400. Next, referring to FIG. 4C, a silicidation process is performed to silicify the photoresist pattern 402 to form a silicidated photoresist layer 402a. For example, a silicon-containing silicide (usually a silane type, such as SiH4) is used to pass into the reaction chamber so that the chip is heated in a silicon-containing environment. At this time, the silicon component will diffuse into the photoresist layer 402 and interact with The oxygen atoms in the photoresist layer 402 react to form silicon oxide. Then, referring to FIG. 4D, a metal layer 412 is formed on the silicided photoresist layer 402a, and the openings 404 and the trenches 406 are filled. The material of the metal layer 412 is, for example, copper or aluminum, and the forming method is, for example, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, or electroplating. After that, please refer to Figure 4E. The metal layer 412 other than the opening is removed to form a metal interconnect 412a. For example, the metal layer 412 is honed by a chemical mechanical honing method, and the metal layer 412 other than the opening 404 and the trench 406 is removed with the surface of the silicidated photoresist layer 402a as an end point. As can be known from the foregoing preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a metal interconnect provided by the present invention is to use a siliconizable photoresist layer to form a pattern of the photoresist layer after forming a pattern of the metal interconnect. The silicidation process makes it form a silicidated photoresist layer. This silicidated photoresist layer can be used as the inner metal dielectric 9 (锖 Please read the note on the back to read this f).
