Description of the invention (l) Field of the invention The present invention relates to the manufacturing technology of semiconductor integrated circuits, and particularly to a method for forming a bottle-type trench using electrochemical etching. Description of related technologies Generally speaking, a capacitor in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) currently widely used is composed of two conductive layer surfaces (ie, electrode plates) with an insulating material interposed therebetween. The capacity of the capacitor to store charge is determined by the thickness of the insulating material, the area of the electrode plate, and the electrical properties of the insulating material. With the recent development of semiconductor process design, the size of semiconductor elements has been reduced to increase the density. The base area of memory cells in memory must be continuously reduced so that integrated circuits can accommodate a large number of memory cells to increase density, but at the same time, The electrode plate portion of the memory cell capacitor must have sufficient surface area to store sufficient charge. However, in the case of continuous miniaturization, the trench storage node capacitance (trenchst η.de capacitance) in the dynamic random access memory f also decreases, so it is necessary to find ways to increase the storage capacitance to maintain memory. Good operating performance. Methods for increasing the storage capacitance of DRAMs have been widely used, such as forming a bottle shaped capacitor by increasing the width of the bottom of the trench to increase the surface area. The following is a description of a conventional method for manufacturing a bottle-shaped groove. First, please refer to FIG. 丨 A, a pad layer 12 pattern is formed on a silicon substrate 10, and then the pad layer is formed. 12 " The picture is a worm-etched mask, and a dry etching method is used to form a silicon substrate.

The groove 14 is shown on the side of the groove to form a bottle-shaped groove around the lower side of the groove 14 which is similar to a bottle. However, the above-mentioned process is a bottle-shaped groove with a large bismuth and sacrificial bismuth. Deep grooves are made and bottle-shaped grooves are made. The grooves are shaped by etch and other processes, but deep grooves cannot be formed: and = the engraving process will form a tapered groove and a groove, and it is difficult to reach the groove The trench is deep at the depth of the trench, and the manufacturing process is stopped after that; 'It is only necessary to dig a depth of about 7 microns to increase the difficulty of the process.
