Abstract

A method for preventing damage to passivation layer is disclosed which comprises the following steps. At first, a substrate is provided on which a plurality of metal interconnects and the trenches are formed. A spin-on-glass layer is coated filling into the trenches. A passivation layer is formed to cover the metal interconnect, the SOG layer and the substrate. Thereafter, a photoresist material is coated to cover the passivation layer and the photoresist material is filled into holes and gaps formed in the passivation layer. Finally, the photoresist material positioned on the surface of the passivation layer is removed. Since these holes and gaps are filled with the photoresist material, it can be prevented that the damage to passivation layer resulting from deformed patterned photoresist layer during back-end etching process.

For example, a shallow trench (sti: shaUowtrenchis〇Iati〇n) or a local oxidation method (LOCOS) is used. A field insulator is formed to isolate the active area. On the active area, another semiconductor process such as deposition, lithography, and ion implantation is used to form a semiconductor with topography depth. The device 200 (not shown) is like a buried dynamic random access memory (embeded DRAM). A plurality of layers of metal lines having a topography depth are successively formed, and a dielectric layer is formed to separate the layers.

Second, according to FIG. 6, in order to fill the trenches 221 to form a flattening, a low dielectric constant dielectric material For example, spin-on-glass (SOG) is often used. Since it is liquid-coated on the wafer surface, it has excellent gap fill ability, which can avoid hole problems ( voids), and achieve the effect of partial flattening. For example, 'it can be coated with a liquid spin-on glass (SOG) on the upper surface of the substrate 200' and then heat-treated in a hot furnace tube at 400 to 450 C. Curing converts the liquid spin-on glass to a solid oxide layer with a low solvent content.

Description of the invention (6) A `` formation of a similar capillary phenomenon '' causes the liquid spin-on glass (§〇 (}) 24〇 to be sucked into the long groove 221 and difficult to fill, as shown in the figure In order to avoid the invasion of water vapor, alkali metal ions or mechanical scratches after the completion of the above-mentioned local planarization step according to FIG. 7, a passivation layer 260 must be deposited to protect the integrated circuit. Structure 'wherein silicon nitride (SiNx) or oxynitride (SiOxNy) has an ideal barrier to moisture and impurities', so it is suitable as a coating material' In addition to reduce its tensile stress and avoid deposition When the reaction temperature is too high, it is usually formed by PECVD. However, where the trench 221 is not filled with the spin-on-glass 240, it may cause defects in the deposited protective layer 260, such as the formation of voids or keyholes 262, 264, and 266. Therefore, according to FIG. 8, in the embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist material 280 is first coated to cover the protective layer 260. When the protective layer 260 is formed with voids or key holes 262, 264, At 266, some photoresist material will be injected into these pores. At this time, although the surface of the photoresistive material 280 has collapsed or inclined areas 282, 284, the defects of the protective layer 260 such as voids or key holes 262, 264, and 266 are already photoresistive materials.
