The bonding pad area 40 can be Ren Fu Shi = including the inner conductor area 30 and the bonding pad area 40, Any row with less than one test embolism, or a large area for short, can have a domain. For any area, the bonding pad area includes a typical large area active element 12, such as _ 屈, # a is shown in Figure 2A to The line 'is in the inner wire area 30. It is formed by the two embodiments of the semiconducting graph of FIG. 6A and the graphs of 2β to 6β, which are circular structures 24. In these two embodiments, page 13, 530350-case No. 91100288_ year and month revision ___ 5. In the description of the invention (7), at least one via hole opening 3 4 A, 3 4 B is formed in the inner wire area 3 〇, and has a test plug opening in a single etching step 42A and 42B are within the bonding pad area 40. The difference in structure between the two embodiments is that the width 33A of the guide hole opening 34A of the active inner conductor 32A in the first embodiment (FIGS. 2A to 6A) is smaller than The width 43A of the test plug opening 42A of the test plug 46A, and in the second embodiment (Figures 2B to 6B), the width of the guide hole opening 3 4 B of the active inner conductor 32B is greater than the test plug 4 6 Test plug opening 4 of B. Width 43B of B. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the semiconductor wafer structure 24 is patterned and etched in a single etching step to the inner wiring area. In the middle 30, at least one guide = opening 34A is formed to expose the active element 12, and at the same time, a test plug opening 42A is formed in the bonding pad area 40 with spaced intervals. The edge of the process is larger than the marked one. The ruler-etching process was chosen, compared to wide openings. Quick opening, reactive ion etching (RIE) of silicon dioxide can have the characteristics as shown in Figure 7, and depending on the etching process chemistry, that is, the etch rate (E / R) on the vertical axis vs. the horizontal axis The characteristic size, for a special feature, can produce a bell-shaped curve with the largest engraving rate: a special width of the trench to be etched, by changing the etch; chemical!

五、發明說明(8) 第一個實施例的單一步驟蝕刻製程蝕刻主動内導線 3 2A的較窄導孔開口 34A ’相較於寬測試栓塞開口 42A快速 的多,是因為反轉R 1E (反應離子蝕刻)延遲效應,那就 是,較寬、開口區被钱刻較緩慢,係由於副產品降低蝕刻 種類的濃度。 導孔開口 34A延伸穿過蝕刻阻絕層14、18、22、及ild 層16、20,而暴露出主動元件12,導孔開口34 A的寬度33A (或f)係最好小於4000埃,導孔開口 34A的末端係由製程的 性能所限制,導孔開口 3 4 A在半導體晶圓1 〇上提供一個聯 合積體電路的電耦合聯合元件,即主動元件12。 測試栓塞開口 4 2 A可被|虫刻穿過上部餘刻阻絕層2 2、 上部内介電層20、下部蝕刻阻絕層1 8、及部份地到内介電 層16内(到一個最好從1 00 0到80 0 0埃的深度),測試栓塞開 口 4 2 A係被蝕刻,以便於隨後形成測試栓塞及接合墊將不 會與在半導體晶圓上的任何聯合積體電路的任何聯合元件 而電連接在一起。 測試栓塞開口 42A最好是從2〇〇〇到1 6, 0 00埃之間深, 測試栓塞開口 42A的寬度43A(>2f )最好小於約80 0 0埃,寬 度4 3 A的末端係由製程的性能所限制。 因為導孔開口 34A的寬度等於” ρ ,於是較寬測試栓塞 開口 42A的寬度係大於兩倍導孔開口34A的寬度” f” ,即測 試栓塞開口 4 2 A的寬度約為> 2 f。 或者’導孔開口 34A的寬度33A係小於測試栓塞開口 42A的寬度43A約50%或更多。V. Description of the invention (8) The single-step etching process of the first embodiment etches the narrower via hole opening 34A 'of the active inner conductor 3 2A, which is much faster than the wide test plug opening 42A, because the reverse R 1E ( (Reactive ion etching) delay effect, that is, the wider, the opening area is engraved more slowly, because the concentration of etching species is reduced due to by-products. The via opening 34A extends through the etch stop layers 14, 18, 22, and the ild layers 16, 20 to expose the active element 12. The width 33A (or f) of the via opening 34 A is preferably less than 4000 angstroms. The end of the hole opening 34A is limited by the performance of the process. The via hole opening 3 4 A provides an electrically coupled combined component of the integrated integrated circuit on the semiconductor wafer 10, that is, the active component 12. The test plug opening 4 2 A can be etched through the upper remaining resist layer 2 2, the upper inner dielectric layer 20, the lower etch stop layer 18, and partially into the inner dielectric layer 16 (to a most Depth from 1 00 to 80 0 0 angstroms), the test plug opening 4 2 A is etched, so that the subsequent formation of test plugs and bonding pads will not interact with any integrated circuits on the semiconductor wafer. The elements are electrically connected together. The test plug opening 42A is preferably deep between 2000 and 16,000 Angstroms, and the width 43A (> 2f) of the test plug opening 42A is preferably less than about 80 000 Angstroms and 4 3 A wide It is limited by the performance of the process. Because the width of the pilot hole opening 34A is equal to "ρ", the width of the wider test plug opening 42A is greater than twice the width of the pilot hole opening 34A "f", that is, the width of the test plug opening 4 2 A is approximately > 2 f. Alternatively, the width 33A of the guide hole opening 34A is smaller than the width 43A of the test plug opening 42A by about 50% or more.

For example, the passive protection layer 62A may be made of silicon nitride, SiC, SiO2 or S0G. As shown in FIG. 2B of the second embodiment, the semiconductor wafer structure 24 is patterned and etched in a single etching step to form at least one via hole opening 34B ′ in the inner conductor region 30. The active element 12 is exposed, and at the same time, a test plug opening 4 2 B is formed in the joint area 40 with a spaced phase. An etching process is selected, which is a narrower opening that is faster than a wide opening. During the etching process, more by-products will be generated in the wider opening (via opening 3 4 B), which affects the type of etching. And thus reduce the money engraving rate in a wide opening (via hole opening 3 4 B) versus a narrow opening (in test plug opening 4 2 B), for example, the chemistry of etching may be included. The single-step etching process of the second embodiment etches the wide via opening 3 4 B of the active element 3 2 B faster than the narrow plug opening 4 2 B because of the RIE delay or micro-filling effect as described above.
