Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention: Off, manufacturing process The present invention and a method for forming a dual damascene in a semiconductor process are particularly related to a dual damascene with a low dielectric constant dielectric layer. Background: The operating speed of semiconductor devices and the reliability of semiconductor devices are improved. The aluminum metal or aluminum alloy (such as silicon copper alloy or aluminum steel alloy) used in the connection structure of traditional semiconductor processes has gradually become more conductive and resistive. It is replaced by copper metal with lower rate and lower electromobility. In the copper process technology, 'the steel cannot be etched with gas like aluminum alloy', so the industry has developed a damascene process. The current damascene process method includes a single damascene process or a dual damascene process. The technology of the dual damascene structure can be used to synchronize the trench connection on the semiconductor substrate and the conductive plug connected to the semiconductor substrate. Mosaic process technology can refer to "Method for manufacturing a low dielectric constant inter-level integrated circuit structure" disclosed by Motorol a Company, Boeck; Bruce Alle et al. In U.S. Patent No. 58800 1 8.

(6) A metal thin film is formed on the second low-k dielectric layer and filled in the trench. After forming the metal thin film, the method further includes polishing the metal thin film by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to form a metal wire.

Description of the invention (6) Black diamond or any combination thereof, and the thickness is about 20000 ~ 10000 Angstroms. The method for forming the second low-k dielectric layer includes a sp-on method, and the material can be selected from one of the following clusters: SiLK, FLARE, or any combination thereof, and the thickness is about 2 0 0 0 ~ 1 0 0 0 0 Angstroms. The material of the dielectric layer may be selected from one of the following clusters: SiLK, FLARE, or any combination thereof. Here, the reason why an etch stop layer is not required between the first low-k dielectric layer and the second low-k dielectric layer is because the first low-k dielectric layer and the second low-k dielectric layer Both of the dielectric constant dielectric layers have good etching selectivity. By selecting the etchant, it is possible to etch away only a small part of the first low dielectric while etching the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer. The dielectric constant layer saves production costs. For example: (1) If Si LK or FLARE material is used as the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer, and black diamond material is used as the first low dielectric constant dielectric layer, then by etching The choice of the agent, the etching selection ratio of the second low-k dielectric layer and the first low-k dielectric layer is greater than about 20, preferably about 30: 1. (2) If SiLK or FLARE material is used as the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer, and FSG material is used as the first low dielectric constant dielectric layer, then the second low dielectric material is selected by the choice of an etchant. The etching selection ratio of the constant dielectric layer to the first low dielectric constant dielectric layer is greater than about 20, and a preferred value is about 30: 1.

Description of the invention (11) Both the low dielectric constant dielectric layer 3 8 and the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer 4 2 have good etching selectivity, and can be etched away by the choice of an etchant. At the same time as the second low-k dielectric layer 42, only a very small portion of the first low-k dielectric layer 38 is etched, thereby saving production costs. For example: (1) If Si LK or FLARE material is used as the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer 42 and black diamond material is used as the first low dielectric constant dielectric layer 38, then borrow Based on the choice of the etchant, the second low-k dielectric layer 42 and the first low-k dielectric layer 38 have a selection ratio of about 30: 1. (2) If Si LK or FLARE material is used as the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer 4 2, and F SG material is used as the first low dielectric constant dielectric layer 3 8, then the choice of the etchant is adopted. The etching selection ratio of the second low-k dielectric layer 42 to the first low-k dielectric layer 38 is greater than about 20, and a preferred value is about 30: L. The material of the dielectric layer 32 includes the same material as that of the second low-k dielectric layer 42, and the formation method thereof is the same as that of the second low-k dielectric layer 42, and its thickness is about It is 2000 ~ 6000 Angstroms. In summary, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: (1) the first low dielectric constant dielectric material by using a higher dielectric constant (dielectric constant is about 2. 9 ~ 3. 1) material (for example: FSG) Layer 38 to compensate for the lack of hardness of the second low dielectric constant dielectric layer 42 of a material with a lower dielectric constant (dielectric constant about 2.6-2.7) (eg, SiLK).
