Description

526539 7987twf.doc/009 A7 B7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 五、發明說明(/ ) 本發明是有關於一種半導體元件之製造方法,特別是 有關於一種半導體之光阻重工製程。 微影(Photolithography)是半導體製程中非常關鍵的技 術,因爲在整個製程中須不斷地運用微影技術來達成元件 的設計。而微影決定了元件的尺寸,這不僅影響到元件的 品質,亦影響產品之產量以及製造成本。 微影製程係利用光源及光罩對塗佈於晶圓上之光阻層 進行曝光而將其圖案化。目前0.18-0.13微米製程之微影 製程是以氟化氪248奈米準分子雷射(KrF 248 nanometer quasi-molecule laser)深紫外光(deep ultraviolet, DUV)技術 爲主力。由於光阻層下方的金屬層對於微影光源反射率很 高,反射光常對微影製程造成困擾,尤其當製作小尺寸元 件時,微影需要選取波長較短光源,使金屬層界面反射率 提高,此一現象在深紫外光的微影製程中更爲顯著。因此’ 在進行微影製程時,通常會在金屬層的表面,形成一層抗 反射層(anti_reflection coating,ARC)。此一抗反射層除可 減少反射光的產生,亦具有平坦化的效果,因此可確保光 罩圖案轉移的正確性。 當光罩未對準或曝光過度而造成晶圓上所形成圖案化 光阻層圖案有缺陷時,則此有缺陷的圖案化光阻層必須從 晶圓上移除,並再進行一次微影製程,以形成另一正確的 圖案化光阻層,此一步驟稱爲光阻重工製程(photoresist rework process) ° 請參閱第1A-1D圖,其爲繪示習知光阻重工製程之 本紙張尺度適用中國國豕標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公复) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)526539 7987twf.doc / 009 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the invention (/) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor photoresistance heavy manufacturing process. Photolithography is a key technology in semiconductor manufacturing, because photolithography must be used continuously throughout the entire process to achieve component design. The lithography determines the size of the component, which not only affects the quality of the component, but also affects the product output and manufacturing cost. The lithography process uses a light source and a photomask to expose and pattern the photoresist layer coated on the wafer. At present, the lithography process of the 0.18-0.13 micron process is based on the KrF 248 nanometer quasi-molecule laser deep ultraviolet (DUV) technology as the main force. Because the metal layer under the photoresist layer has a high reflectivity for the lithographic light source, the reflected light often causes trouble to the lithographic process. Especially when making small-sized components, the lithographic needs to select a light source with a shorter wavelength to make the interface reflectivity of the metal layer. Improve, this phenomenon is more significant in the lithography process of deep ultraviolet light. Therefore, during the lithography process, an anti-reflection coating (ARC) is usually formed on the surface of the metal layer. In addition to reducing the generation of reflected light, this anti-reflection layer also has a flattening effect, so it can ensure the correctness of the mask pattern transfer. When the patterned photoresist layer pattern on the wafer is defective due to misalignment of the photomask or overexposure, the defective patterned photoresist layer must be removed from the wafer and lithography performed again. Process to form another correct patterned photoresist layer. This step is called the photoresist rework process. Please refer to Figures 1A-1D, which is applicable to the paper size of the conventional photoresist rework process.

Description of the invention (>) Section process Illustration. Referring to FIG. 1A, a polycrystalline silicon layer 112, a tungsten silicide layer 114, and a bottom anti-reflection coating 116 (barc) are formed on a substrate 100. A defect is formed on the bottom anti-reflection layer 116.的 Patterned Photoresist Layer 118. Referring to FIG. 1B, the defective patterned photoresist layer 118 and the underlying anti-reflection layer 116 on the substrate 100 are removed. It is conventional to use oxygen plasma and sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide solution (sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM) cleaning method to remove the problematic photoresist layer 118 and the underlying anti-reflection layer U6. At this time, a thin oxide layer 120 is formed on the surface of the tungsten silicide layer 114 due to the washing effect of the oxygen plasma and the sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide solution. Referring to FIG. 1C, a bottom anti-reflection layer 122 is formed on the thin oxide layer 120, and then a lithography process is performed to form a patterned photoresist layer 124 on the bottom anti-reflection layer 122. Referring to FIG. 1D, using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, the tungsten silicide layer 114 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 112 are etched, and finally the patterned photoresist layer 124 and the bottom anti-reflection layer 122 on the substrate 100 are removed to form Patterned tungsten silicide layer U4a and polycrystalline silicon layer 112a 〇 As can be seen from the ID chart, the sanded tungsten layer 114a formed by the conventional patterned photoresist layer 124 may have pattern pitting. Produced, and this may cause component defects in subsequent processes. The reason why the above tungsten silicide layer 114a pattern is depressed is because the thin oxide layer 120 formed on the tungsten silicide layer 114 will change the inversion of the tungsten silicide layer 114.

Explanation of the invention (") Emissivity . The change in reflectivity naturally affects the conditions of photoresist exposure. However, during the rework process, the lithography process does not readjust the exposure parameters for this purpose, resulting in a change in the outline of the patterned photoresist layer 124 after rework, thereby reducing the thickness of the effective photoresist. Insufficient thickness of the photoresist will not protect the pattern of the underlying etched layer. Therefore, a pattern depression is generated on the surface of the tungsten silicide layer 114, which affects the stability of the etching end point of the tungsten silicide layer 114 and causes an abnormal etching. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which prevents the reflectance of the metal layer under the photoresist layer from changing during the photoresist rework process, and changes the exposure parameters of the lithography process. Another object of the present invention is to provide a photoresist heavy-duty process for semiconductors to avoid deformation of the contour of the patterned photoresist layer after rework and maintain a sufficient photoresist thickness. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a photoresist heavy-duty process for semiconductors, which avoids changing the exposure parameters and makes the thickness of the photoresist insufficient, which results in pattern depressions in the etched layer, thereby causing element defects in subsequent processes. In order to achieve the purpose of the present invention, the present invention provides a photoresist heavy industry process including the following steps. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided. A conductive layer, a first underlying anti-reflection layer, and a patterned photoresist layer that must be reworked are sequentially formed on the substrate. Next, the photoresist layer and the underlying anti-reflection layer, which must be reworked, are removed, so a thin oxide layer is formed on the surface of the conductor layer. The thin oxide layer formed on the surface of the conductor layer is removed by wet cleaning. Then, a lithography process is performed to form a patterned photoresist layer after rework. The above-mentioned lithographic process of the present invention includes sequentially forming a second underlying anti-reflection layer and a photoresist layer on a conductor layer, and then exposing the photoresist layer and 5 paper standards to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications.

Description of Invention (4-) Developed to obtain a patterned photoresist layer after heavy industry. When the patterned photoresist layer is completed after rework, the patterned photoresist layer is then used as a mask to etch the second underlying anti-reflection layer and the metal layer, and then the patterned photoresist layer and the second The bottom anti-reflection layer is removed to obtain a patterned conductor layer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned conductor layer includes a polycrystalline silicon layer and a tungsten silicide layer. The above-mentioned defective patterned photoresist layer and the first underlying anti-reflection layer are removed by means of oxygen plasma etching and SPM cleaning. The above-mentioned wet cleaning of the thin oxide layer is performed by diluting hydrogen fluoride (diluted hydrogen fluoride), and also by using ammonium hydroxide / hydrogen peroxide mixture (ApM) to perform cleaning. The oxide layer is removed. After removing the photoresist layer and the first underlying anti-reflective stomach that must be reworked, the invention uses a wet scrubbing method to remove the thin oxygen k layer formed on the conductor layer, so that it can be used in the subsequent lithography process. In order to avoid the change of the light reflectance of the conductor layer, it will affect the quality of the patterned photoresist layer after rework. 'Because the patterned photoresist layer after the rework of the present invention has a fairly good profile', it can effectively protect the pattern of the underlying etched layer, and maintain the stability of the end of the engraved engraving, and avoid the depression of the pattern after etching. In the subsequent processes, defects occur in the components.
