Description of the Invention (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for forming a borderless contact window. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past, when semiconductors did not enter the deep sub-micron process, the critical dimension (CD) of the semiconductor process was large. Therefore, when a contact window or a plug is formed, even if the wafer is misaligned during the photolithography process, the contact window or the plug can still be landed in the original formation. Location. That is to say, even if the alignment error is considered, the plug can still be completely located on the underlying metal line, so it will not affect the working ability of the component. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. However, when the semiconductor process enters the sub-micron level and the critical dimension of the component process is gradually shrinking, the alignment problem can no longer be ignored, especially when the component size is designed. The tolerance allowed by the size is close to the error produced by the process instrument itself or even smaller. Therefore, as in the past, it is quite difficult to make the formed contact window or plug completely fall into its predetermined position to meet the deep sub-micron component size specification. Therefore, the method of manufacturing borderless contact windows or plugs has become one of the themes of all manufacturers of deep sub-micron components. Especially when the paper size accumulated in the Multi-Level Metal Interconnect process is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (cns) A4 specification (210x297 mm) 6 104 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () The number of layers is increasing More and more, how to make the metal wires and plugs of each layer aligned and connected to each other, so that the integrated circuit can play a role. The manufacturing process of the conventional borderless contact window only uses a layer of nitride. The silicon layer is used as an etch stop layer, but the threshold voltage (Vt) and the saturation current (Isat) of the transistor are often found in the stomach.生 Change. Therefore, it is necessary to add some process steps for adjusting the characteristics of the transistor, such as an ion implantation step, so that the transistor has uniform and stable electrical characteristics. The purpose of the invention is therefore to provide a method for forming a borderless contact window to improve the lifetime and stability of a transistor. ..... .... ....................... Another purpose of the present invention is to provide A method for manufacturing a borderless contact window with an etch-stop cladding layer is used to make the valve voltage and the drain saturation current of a transistor more stable and improve its uniformity. The method provided by the present invention includes sequentially forming a first etch stop layer, a second etch stop layer and a dielectric layer on a substrate on which a transistor has been formed. An opening is then formed in the dielectric layer, exposing a second etch stop layer on one of the source / drain of the transistor, and then removing the exposed second etch stop layer and the first etch stop layer below it to expose A source / drain located under the opening. The first etch stop layer may be, for example, an oxide sand layer or a silicon nitride oxide layer, and the second etch stop layer may be, for example, a silicon nitride layer.
