Therefore, insufficient exposure energy results in insufficient concentration of free radicals generated, which makes the chain reaction of the material incomplete, and further prevents the photosensitive polyfluorene imide from reaching saturated crosslinking. When making patterns using negative-tone photosensitive materials, please refer to Figures 丨 to 3b, and Figures 1 to 3b are cross-sectional views showing the process of conventional patterned negative-tone photosensitive materials. First, a semiconductor substrate 100 is coated with a layer of a negative-gloss matte material 102 to form a structure as shown in FIG. I. Next, referring to Fig. 2, the negative-sensitivity photosensitive material layer 102 is exposed by using the exposure light 112 and passing through the mask n0. The photomask 110 includes an opaque region 108 and a light transmitting region ιo6 having a desired pattern. Therefore, the exposure light ιΐ2 passes through the light-transmitting area 106 and is projected on the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102. The position and shape of the negative-light-sensitive photosensitive material layer 102 correspond to the light-transmitting area 106. Exposure area 104. Thus, the element pattern composed of the light-transmitting area 〇6 is transferred to the exposure area 104 of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 at the same time. Then, a developing step of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 is performed. Because the negative-tone photosensitive material is crosslinked after being exposed, it cannot be dissolved by the developer. Therefore, after development, the exposed area 104 of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 10 will remain on the substrate 100, and the remaining unexposed negative-tone photosensitive material layer 10 will be dissolved in the developer. The substrate is removed and the underlying substrate is exposed. However, please refer to Figure 3a. When the energy of the exposure light 1 12 in Figure 2 is lower than the paper size, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) is applied ... .. Keep ......... Order ......... Line · (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 538457 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () (Please read first Note on the back, please fill in this page again) When the exposure energy is saturated, although the developer can completely remove the unexposed negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102, leaving the exposed area 104. However, the cross-linking of the exposed area 104 of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 has not reached a saturation state, and the pattern structure formed by the exposed area 104 will be affected by other light when it is applied. The entire exposure area 104 was saturated with crosslinking. In this way, the mechanical properties and chemical properties of the pattern structure of the exposed area 104 are changed 'and the stability of the device is lowered. On the other hand, when the energy of the exposure light 112 is higher than the saturation exposure energy, cross-linking of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 around the exposure area 104 is often caused. Then, in order to remove the crosslinked material of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 appearing around the exposure area 104, the development step is lengthened. Therefore, 'not only causes the production yield to decline, but also increases the amount of developer used, which in turn leads to an increase in process costs. Furthermore, if the energy and time of the exposure light 112 are not properly controlled, the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 102 around the exposure area 104 will have stronger cross-linking, which will cause the developer to not effectively form this unexpected area. Removal of crosslinked material. In this way, after development, the residue 114 of the negative-tone photosensitive material is attached around the pattern structure of the exposure area 104, as shown in FIG. 3b. Therefore, the quality of the pattern is greatly affected, which further reduces the reliability and yield of the process. The purpose and summary of the invention printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs: In view of the above, when making patterns on negative-tone photosensitive materials, the structure of patterns made of negative-tone photosensitive materials often results from insufficient exposure energy. Poor stability with nature, which seriously affects the process yield. Or, because 5 paper sizes are in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X 297 mm) 538457 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () The exposure energy is too high, which not only leads to higher costs and lower yields, but also in non-exposed areas Residues of photosensitive materials are produced which are difficult to remove, which seriously affects the reliability and yield of the process. Therefore, one of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a pattern structure for negative-sensitivity photosensitive materials by using multiple exposure methods, which firstly transfers the patterns to negative-sensitivity photosensitive materials through low-energy exposure. After the layer is developed, a pattern structure is produced. The low exposure energy does not saturate the cross-linking of the negative-tone photosensitive material. This reduces the time required for development and reduces the amount of developer used. Therefore, productivity can be increased and process costs can be reduced. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The guideline printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is full, and it is expected that the negative guide material will not be visible when the image is affected. The material has a semi-basic nature and is stable and strong in the material removal property. Sexy composition. \: The up-regulated quantity is based on the material rate and the light-toned structure is enclosed in negative energy.

Description of the invention () where the negative-tone photosensitive material layer has a saturated exposure Energy; performing a first exposure step on the negative-tone photosensitive material layer with a first preset energy through a photomask to form an exposed area and a non-exposed area on the above-mentioned negative-tone photosensitive material layer, wherein the first Set the energy lower than the saturation exposure energy of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer; perform a developing step to remove the non-exposed area of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer and expose a part of the substrate; and a second preset energy pair The exposure area of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer is subjected to a second exposure step, wherein the second preset energy is not lower than the saturation exposure energy of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer. Because the first preset energy used in the first exposure step does not saturate the cross-linking of the negative tone photosensitive material layer, the negative tone sensitivity can be removed smoothly without requiring a long time in the developing step. The non-exposed area of the material layer 'so can improve the reliability, yield, and yield of the process, and reduce the use of developer', thereby reducing the process cost. In addition, the second preset energy used in the second exposure step can saturate the cross-linking of the exposed areas of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer, so the material properties of the exposed areas are more stable, and the structural strength of the exposed areas is also obtained.

Description of the invention () In the case of the structure, "a negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 is first coated on the semiconductor substrate 200 to form the structure shown in Fig. 4. Among them, the negative-tone photosensitive The material of the photosensitive material layer 202 may be, for example, negative-sensitive photosensitive polyimide (PI), and the negative-sensitive photosensitive material layer 202 has a saturated exposure energy. Under the irradiation of the saturated exposure energy, the negative-sensitive photosensitive material layer 2 The crosslinking of 2 can reach saturation. After the application of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 is completed, the first exposure step can be performed. Please refer to the cross-sectional diagram shown in FIG. 5, and use the exposure light 212 with preset energy to pass through the mask 210 to perform the exposure step on the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202. The preset energy of the above-mentioned exposure light 212 should be lower than Negatively adjust the saturation exposure energy of the photosensitive material layer 2 02. For example, if the negative exposure photosensitive polyimide can reach a saturation cross-linking saturation exposure energy of 130 millijoules (mj), the energy of the exposure light 2 1 2 in the first exposure step should be less than 130 millijoules, preferably less than about 100 millijoules. The above is only used for illustration. Different negative-tone photosensitive materials have different saturation exposure energies, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the photomask 210 includes at least an opaque region 208 and a light-transmitting region 206 having a desired pattern of the device. Therefore, when the exposure light 212 is projected onto the mask 210, the exposure light 212 can pass through the light-transmitting area 206 and be irradiated on the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 directly below the light-transmitting area 206, thereby forming the exposure area 204. Since the light-transmitting region 206 has a pattern required for the element, after the first exposure step, the pattern required for the element on the mask 210 is transferred to the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202.

Description of the invention () Next, the development step of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 is performed. After the negative-tone photosensitive material is irradiated with light, its material will be crosslinked. Without dissolving in the properties of the developer. Thus, the remaining unexposed negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 can be dissolved in the developer and removed, thereby exposing the substrate 200 of the unexposed negative-tone photosensitive material layer 200. At the same time, the exposed area 204 of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 is insoluble in the developer and remains on the substrate 200. The structure formed is shown in FIG. So far, the production of the pattern structure of the negative-tone photosensitive material has been substantially completed. Since the exposure energy used in the 'first exposure step is lower than the saturation exposure energy of the negative-sensitivity photosensitive material layer 202, cross-linking does not occur in areas other than the exposure area 204. Therefore, the time of the development step can be greatly reduced, the amount of development used can be reduced, and the burden of the process cost can be reduced. In addition, no undesired negative-tone photosensitive material residue is formed around the structure of the exposure area 204. After completing the patterning of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202, please refer to FIG. 7 'using the exposure light 214 with a preset energy higher than the saturated exposure energy of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202, without using any photomask. To perform the second exposure step. For example, if the saturation exposure energy of negative-tone photosensitive polyimide is 130 mJ, the energy of the exposure light 2 1 4 in the second exposure step should be greater than or equal to 130 mJ, preferably Greater than about 160 millijoules. The above-mentioned energy of the exposure light 2 1 4 is only for illustration. The exposure energy of the second exposure step of the present invention may be not lower than the saturation exposure energy of the negative-tone photosensitive material used. Limited to this.

Description of the invention () In the step, the exposure light 214 can make the exposure area The cross-linking of the negative-tone photosensitive material layer 202 of 204 is saturated, and the pattern structure of the exposure area 204 is further strengthened, thereby improving the stability of the material of the exposure area 204. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the purpose of strengthening the structure of the negative-tone photosensitive material is achieved by using two exposures. However, the present invention is not limited to two exposures. The present invention can also use the multiple exposure method to achieve the purpose of strengthening the structure of the negative-tone photosensitive material according to the process requirements and material properties. One advantage of the present invention is that the negative-tone photosensitive material layer is first patterned by low-energy exposure, thereby forming a pattern structure composed of a negative-tone photosensitive material that has not reached the cross-linked saturation. As a result, the time for the development step can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the use of the developer *. As a result, the company has achieved the goal of increasing production capacity and reducing process costs. Another advantage of the present invention is that the exposure energy used for patterning the pattern structure of the negative-tone photosensitive material is lower than the saturation energy of the exposure, without causing cross-linking of the negative-tone photosensitive material in unexpected regions. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly obtain a high-quality pattern structure, reduce the formation of defects, and obtain excellent process reliability and yield. & Another advantage of the present invention is that the patterned negative tone photosensitive material structure is exposed again using high exposure energy, so that the negative tone photosensitive material structure reaches cross-link saturation. Therefore, it is possible to effectively cover the stability of the pattern structure of 1 σ only two optical materials, and to achieve the purpose of strengthening the pattern structure and improving the quality of the pattern. As understood by those familiar with this technology, the above is only for the present invention. 11 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2ΐ〇χ 297 mm).
