particularly to a method for forming a pattern on a die (alignment mark) and other crystals at the same time. Photolithography (Photolithography) is a key step in the success or failure of manufacturing semiconductor components, so it plays an important role in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Taking the manufacturing process of general components as an example, usually a product needs about 10 to 18 times of lithography and exposure steps depending on its complexity. In order for the mask pattern to be correctly transferred to the wafer, usually, during the semiconductor manufacturing process, before each photoresist exposure is performed, the layers must be aligned to avoid improper pattern transfer. , Which leads to the entire wafer scrapped. In the traditional exposure process, an alignment mark corresponding to a photomask is formed on a wafer on which a semiconductor element is to be formed to achieve the purpose of alignment. In order to avoid damage to the alignment mark during the process, usually no pattern is formed around the alignment mark. However, other problems arise in the process, such as the formation of a shallow trench isolation structure. After the chemical mechanical honing process is carried out in the mining area, there will be problems such as residual oxide layers. In the following, the manufacturing method of the shallow trench isolation structure will be explained. Figures 1A to 1C are cross-sectional views of a conventional manufacturing process for a shallow trench isolation structure. Referring to FIG. 1A, a typical method is to form a mask layer 104 on the substrate 100 on which the alignment mark 102 has been formed, and then form a patterned light-emitting layer 106 on the mask layer 104, and borrow Its patterned tomb calendar 104. 3 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) '' ϋ 订 订 ---- ---- ,; 难 难 难 难 3 3 3 3 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) 459298 A7 B7 6050twf2 / 002 V. Description of the invention (7) Next, the mask is engraved with the light 1 layer 106 and the mask layer 104 as a hungry part, and a part of the substrate 100 is etched to form a trench in the substrate 100 108. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page.) Then 'Please refer to Figure 1B, remove the photoresist layer 106 and form a silicon oxide layer 110 on the substrate 100' to cover the mask layer 104, and After the trench 108 is full, please refer to FIG. 1C, using the mask layer 104 as a honing termination layer, and removing the excess silicon oxide layer 110 by a chemical mechanical honing method, leaving a silicon oxide layer 110a in the trench 106. Finally, the cover layer 104 is removed. Because the density of the trenches on the wafer is different, and there are many open areas on the wafer where no isolation structure is formed, such as the empty mining area around the alignment mark 102, the conventional method described above removes the surface of the mask layer 104 by honing. When the oxidized layer 110 is formed, the oxidized layer 110 located on the open area 112 will remain on the open area 112 due to the honing characteristics of the chemical mechanical honing method, thereby forming a residual oxide layer 110b. A method is known to improve the oxide layer remaining in the open area. A virtual isolation area is formed in the open area 112 of the substrate 100 to make the chemical mechanical honing process uniform. The manufacturing process is as shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D illustration. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, please refer to Figure 2A. The typical method is to use a photoresist layer 106 to define the isolation area. At the same time, the exposure area is formed into an isolation area pattern 114 and virtual isolation through the exposure process. District's pattern 116. Referring to FIG. 2B, the exposed portion of the photoresist layer 106 is removed by a developing process, so that the remaining photoresist layer 106 has a trench pattern 114 and a pattern of a virtual isolation region. After that, the photoresist layer 106 is used as the mask. The etching mask 4 is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm). 6〇5〇4 > f§C ^ 2 9 8 A7 ________ B7 5. Description of the invention (>) The layer 104 and the substrate 100 'form a trench 108 of an isolation region and a virtual trench 118 of a virtual isolation region. Please refer to FIG. 2C, and then “remove the photoresist layer 106, and then form an oxide layer 110 on the substrate 100 to cover the mask layer 104 and fill the trench 108 and the virtual trench 118. β Please refer to FIG. 2D, The chemical mechanical honing process removes the oxide layer 110 covered on the mask layer 104. Finally, the mask layer 104 is removed to form an isolation region 110a and a dummy isolation region 110C in the substrate 100. The method for forming a dummy isolation region in the substrate described above is to form a trench pattern 114 and a pattern 116 of a dummy isolation region in the same layer of the photoresist layer 106, as shown in FIG. 2A. During the exposure process, the pattern on the photomask 400 shown in FIG. 4 is transferred to each of the exposure blocks 120 on the wafer 100 shown in FIG. 3 one by one, so that the light on the substrate (wafer) 100 is lightened. After the trench layer 106 is formed in the resist layer 106, the pattern of the photomask 400 is transferred to the open area 112 around the alignment mark 102 to form a dummy trench pattern 116 in the same photoresist layer 110. Please refer to FIG. 3, since the size of the block 122 forming the alignment mark 102 on the wafer is not the same as the size of the exposure block 120 of each exposure process, therefore, when performing the exposure process of the virtual isolation region pattern 116, The corner (for example, the upper left corner) 404 of the chrome plate 402 on the photomask 400 in FIG. 4 is aligned with the corner (for example, the upper left corner) 130 of the alignment mark block 122, and an exposure machine is used. The opaque Blade 300 in Taichung used to cover the photomask to cover the mask 400 corresponding to the alignment mark 102 and part 5 (guess first read the precautions on the back before filling this page). !! ------ Line 1 'Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Consumer Cooperatives This paper is printed in accordance with Chinese National Standards < CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Consumer Cooperatives 459298 6050twf2 / 002 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (y) The alignment mark block 122 allows the exposed light to pass through the chrome film 402 on the reticle 400 and the shielding effect of the opaque blade 300 of the machine, so that The exposure light can only pass through a specific area, so that the trench pattern of the corner 404 on the photomask 400 can be smoothly transferred to the corner 130 of the block 122. For the photoresist layer 106 on the other corners of the alignment mark block Π2, the same method can be used to form the virtual isolation pattern 116. The above method must pass multiple exposure processes to form a virtual isolation region pattern 116 on the photoresist layer 106 on the alignment mark block 122. This method is not only time-consuming, reduces the throughput of the machine, but also increases the machine. Since the opaque leaves are lost, the method described above will also increase the manufacturing cost. In addition, in order to reduce the number of exposures required for the photoresist layer 106 on the alignment mark block 122 to form the dummy isolation region pattern 116, generally, the alignment mark 102 is formed on the side of the alignment mark block 122 next to the other crystal. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3_, it is not formed at the center of the alignment mark 122. However, according to this method, the subsequent honing process will affect the wafers around the alignment mark 102. The invention provides a method for patterning a semiconductor, which can simultaneously form a pattern on a crystal cube of an alignment mark and another crystal cube. The invention provides a method for patterning a semiconductor, which can quickly complete a wafer exposure process. The invention provides a semiconductor patterning method, which can arrange an alignment mark at the center of an alignment mark block to reduce the influence of the alignment mark on the peripheral wafer. 6 This paper is suitable for @National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) < Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) --- Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 45929 8 6050twf2 / 002 A7 _____B7____ V. Description of the Invention (t) The present invention provides a method for patterning a semiconductor, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor. The invention provides a method for manufacturing a shallow trench isolation structure, which can provide a uniform honing rate during a chemical mechanical honing process. The invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. This method divides a wafer into a plurality of first exposure blocks and a plurality of second exposure blocks, and forms an alignment mark in one of the cubes of the first exposure block. After that, a layer to be patterned is formed on the wafer, and then a negative photoresist is formed on the layer to be patterned, and then a first exposure process is performed to sequentially place the first and second exposure blocks on the first exposure block and the second exposure block. A plurality of first exposed areas and a plurality of unexposed areas are formed in the negative photoresist. Then, a second exposure process is performed to form a second exposed area over the negative photoresist covered by the alignment mark. This second exposed area overlaps with the first exposed area above the alignment mark and the area not exposed to the exposure mark and covers the area of the alignment mark. Then, a developing step is performed to remove the negative photoresist of the unexposed area and expose it. After the layer to be patterned is taken out, the negative photoresist is used as a mask to remove the bare patterned layer exposed by the negative photoresist to pattern the layer to be patterned. Finally, the negative photoresist is removed. The invention provides a method for manufacturing a shallow trench isolation structure. This method provides a substrate having a plurality of crystal cubes, and the substrate is divided into a plurality of first exposure blocks and a plurality of second exposure blocks. Then, An alignment mark is formed on one of the cubes in the first exposure block. Then, a mask layer is formed on the substrate, and a negative photoresist layer is formed on the mask layer. After that, a first exposure process is performed to form several first exposed areas and several unexposed ones in the negative photoresist layer on the first exposure block and the second exposure block one by one (please read the note on the back first) Please fill in this page again for item i)-Install "5 ..." 4.

Then, a second exposure process is performed to form a second exposed area on the negative photoresist layer covered above the alignment mark, wherein the second exposed area and the first exposed area above the alignment mark are not affected. The trench pattern of the exposed area overlaps and covers the area of the alignment mark. Then, a developing step is performed to remove the negative photoresist layer in the unexposed area, so that the negative photoresist layer forms a trench pattern, wherein the trench pattern is exposed to expose the mask layer, and then the negative photoresist layer is used as the mask to remove the negative The cover screen layer exposed by the photoresist layer makes the cover screen layer form a trench pattern. After that, the negative photoresist layer is removed, and then the mask layer is used as a mask, and a part of the substrate exposed by the trench pattern of the mask layer is removed to form a number of crystals in the first exposure block and the second exposure block. A trench, and then an insulating layer is formed on the wafer to cover the cover layer, and the trench is filled, and then the insulating layer covered by the cover layer is removed by a chemical mechanical honing process. Finally, the cover layer is removed. The insulating layer remaining in the trench of the second exposure block forms an isolation region, and the insulating layer remaining in the trench of the first exposure block is used as a virtual isolation region. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the first exposure block with the alignment mark is the same as that of other second exposure blocks. Therefore, when performing the exposure process, only a stepper is required to simultaneously By sequentially performing an exposure process, a predetermined pattern is exposed in a first exposure block having an alignment mark. In other words, this method requires only one exposure process to complete the exposure process of the first exposure block with the alignment mark. Compared to the conventional method, which can be completed multiple times, this method is a faster method. It is a method that can increase production capacity, reduce the loss of opaque blades of the machine, and reduce manufacturing costs. 8 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 'nnn -ir-ejI I nnnn Printed on the paper by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 459298 6050twf2 / 002 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (ο) In addition, the negative photoresist layer formed on the substrate of the present invention can be used to remove chromium on the periphery of the area by using a photomask. The film aligns the periphery of the alignment mark area 'allows light to pass through the erasure area and transfers its pattern to the wafer' to form an exposed area above the alignment mark. Since the position and size of the exposed area is determined by the chrome masking layer of the photomask, rather than being defined by the opaque leaves of the stepper to shield the photomask, diffraction phenomena can be avoided Occurs, the pattern of the erasure area on the photomask is correctly transferred to the photoresist layer. In addition, the present invention forms a virtual isolation region on the periphery of the alignment mark, so that the trench density of the first exposure block to which the alignment mark belongs is equivalent to the trench density of the other second exposure blocks. Therefore, subsequent chemical mechanical honing The process can provide a uniform honing rate. In addition, in the method of the present invention, no matter whether the alignment mark is located at the center of the wafer or on the side close to the adjacent crystal, only one exposure process is required to form a dummy on the periphery of the alignment mark. The pattern of the isolation region.

Print B7 V. Description of the invention (β) 514a, which is defined by the same mask 700 (Figure 7). Therefore, the density of the trenches in the exposed block 602 is similar to the density of the trenches in the exposed block 604. . Therefore, when the insulating layer 516 covered on the mask layer 504 is removed by a chemical mechanical honing process, the uniformity of the honing is good, and there is no problem that the insulating layer 516 remains on the mask layer 504. Referring to FIG. 5H, the mask layer 504 is removed to leave the insulating layer 516a in the trench 514a, the insulating layer 516b in the trench 514b, and the insulating layer 516c in the trench 514c. The method of removing the mask layer 504 includes a wet etching method. When the mask layer 504 is composed of a pad oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, the silicon nitride layer may be removed with hot phosphoric acid first, and then the pad oxide layer may be removed with hydrofluoric acid. To sum up, the present invention has at least the following advantages: 1- The negative photoresist layer formed on the substrate of the present invention can use the chromium film on the periphery of the erasure area on the photomask to align the periphery of the alignment mark area to make light The pattern can be transferred to the wafer by erasing the area to form an exposed area above the alignment mark. Since the position and size of the exposed area is determined by the chrome masking layer of the photomask, rather than being defined by the opaque leaves of the stepper to shield the photomask, diffraction phenomena can be avoided Occurs, the pattern of the erasure area on the photomask is correctly transferred to the photoresist layer. 2. The size of the exposed block with the alignment mark of the present invention is the same as that of other exposed blocks. Therefore, when performing the above-mentioned exposure process, it is only necessary to perform the exposure process sequentially with a stepper at the same time. A predetermined pattern is exposed in the exposure block of the alignment mark. In other words, this method requires only one exposure process to complete the exposure format of the exposure block with the alignment mark.

The invention forms a virtual isolation area around the alignment mark, so that the trench density of the exposed block to which the alignment mark belongs is equivalent to the trench density of other exposed blocks, so that the subsequent chemical mechanical honing process can provide uniformity. Honing rate. 4. In the method of the present invention, regardless of whether the alignment mark is located at the center of the wafer or immediately adjacent to the side of the crystal cube, only a single exposure process is required to form a dummy on the periphery of the alignment mark. The pattern of the isolation region, therefore, the present invention can arrange the position of the alignment mark at the center of the crystal cube without having to be close to the adjacent crystal cube to reduce the influence of the alignment mark on the peripheral wafer. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
