Description of the invention α) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a dual damascene process in the semiconductor industry, especially a stack using a polymer dielectric and a Si-based film. It is used as a composite mask power layer to prevent the occurrence of via poisoning defects, and to further improve the method of absolute dimension (CD) of the double post-mounting process. Background of the Invention: With the continuous progress of the semiconductor industry, in the development and design of ultra-large integrated circuits (ULS I), in order to meet the design trend of high-density integrated circuits, the size of various components has been reduced to sub-micron. And due to the continuous shrinking of components, the related semiconductor process often encounters unprecedented difficulties, and the complexity of the process is also increasing. In general, integrated circuits include countless components and electronic connection structures used to connect these components in order to perform the specific functions required. Therefore, in addition to the performance of integrated circuits, the performance of integrated circuits requires countless precise and fine metal interconnections in order to effectively transfer electronic signals between components. However, in the related process of multi-metal interconnection, due to the limitation of the lithographic resolution, the error of the exposure focus (Focus), the resolution of the image transmission (Resolution), and the reduction of the available space, the mosaic process is caused. (Damascenepr 〇cess) related technologies have been widely developed

Description of the invention (3) The dielectric layer 18 is subjected to an etching process. For the etch mask power, the flex-Γ-I pair of the masking layer 20 and the first layer can be opened in σ. However, it is worthy to inject the soil. It is usually made of osmium. It is composed of the material of the first dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer 14 along the material of the second electrical coefficient (丨 ow —K), so when the photoresistance = In the case of filling in the battalion, Mu and a large number of non-dielectric materials in the low-dielectric material 26, as shown in the reaction of the 3% basis, and the formation of hard 22 in contact with the opening of the culvert. In addition, these hard blocks 26 cannot be effectively removed after the above photoresist layer is used in the development process. In such a step,: = the photoresist layer 22 is used to define a trench opening in the second dielectric layer 18. The hard block 26 which is in contact with the opening of the culvert will make the etching process difficult. In addition, as the connection ratio in the film layer is adjusted. In other words, the organic layer, such as an emission layer, shows the shape of the deposited light. For semi-conducting contact culverts with smaller dimensions and their uniform filling energies 28 (often will be coated with a higher pattern on the photoresist layer 22 with a lithographic exposure process) 22 The contact culvert is not the same as: thickness. At the same time, it is difficult to reduce the accuracy and the size of the process is continuously reduced. The definition also has a southern aspect ratio (a SP e C t More difficulties. Please refer to the fourth figure. For the common sense organs on the semiconductor substrate 10, when filling the photoresist material, a lot of voids are often generated by L 'in order to improve the photoresist layer 2. The flatness of 2 is, however, this often leads to a decrease in the depth of the exposure to be defined in order to adjust the focus. On the contrary, the thickness of the photoresist layer 22 decreases.

Dielectric molecules occur using the polymer macromolecule dielectric material of the present invention with good uniformity and the chance of covering voids. Furthermore, in addition to the dielectric layer, there is a chance that the dielectric material of the present invention is above. Method, which has the ability to fill the cap and disperse molecules, and can have considerable benefits. Among them, due to the contact with the culvert, it will have a specific photoresistance to effectively prevent the contact of the culvert with the addition of the dielectric material of vla polsoning to block the photoresist material and the silicon-containing film layer to completely cover the high-intensity In order to prevent the Vla p0s〇ning step, such as it to prevent it, in addition, in the present invention, the control is located in the contact, in addition to the side where the first dielectric layer can have, the protective wall by the culvert can be adjusted by etching.
