Description of the invention () Field of invention: (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) A method of removing the bottom anti-reflective coating (barc), especially about The photoresist layer is used to protect the conductor layer, and the bottom anti-reflection layer is removed by wet or dry etching, but its application is not limited to this field. Background of the Invention: Damascene-The word is derived from the inlay technique of ancient Damascus artisans, also known as Damascus technology. Multilevel interconnections of conventional integrated circuits are made by dry etching of the metal layer (Dry Etch), and then the dielectric layer is filled. In the damascene technique, a pattern film for metal wires is etched on the dielectric layer, and then the metal is filled. As for the main feature of the dual metal damascene technology, the metal layer is not required to be etched, but the hole (Η 01 e) and the metal wire are combined to do it in a nested way. 'So only one metal filling step is needed. Can simplify the process. The Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed in the lithography process of the double metal mosaic structure. The main cause of the critical dimension (CD) variation is the problem caused by reflection.

Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Swing effect and bulk effect caused by the substrate, both of which will cause a photoresist layer The received exposure energy changes. The wobble effect is due to the periodic change of the optical interference caused by the reflectivity with the thickness of the photoresist layer, while the overall effect changes the overall trend of the wobble effect when the thickness of the photoresist layer is greatly different. The greater the energy required to decompose the photoresist layer. Therefore, it is important to find a suitable anti-reflective layer for the spectral range used. There are two main ways to reduce reflection: one is to use a Top Anti-Reflection Coating (TARC), and the other is to use a bottom Anti-Reflection Coating. The main function of these anti-reflection layers is to reduce the reflectivity of the air, the photoresist layer interface (TARC) and the photoresist layer-substrate interface (BARC), making them smaller. Since the bottom anti-reflection layer can reduce both the wobble effect and the overall effect, the top anti-reflection layer only reduces the wobble effect. Therefore, the development and application of the top anti-reflection layer are limited. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The bottom anti-reflection layer can be divided into two categories: the first type is the organic bottom anti-reflection layer. This type of bottom anti-reflection layer has been widely used in integrated circuit manufacturing processes. Organic bottom anti-reflection layer is generally more absorptive than the photoresist layer covering it, and the coating method is spin coating. In general, it is difficult to find a bottom anti-reflection layer suitable for various highly reflective substrates, and its step coverage and thickness control are also poor. The second type of bottom anti-reflection layer is an inorganic type bottom anti-reflection layer grown by chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition; CVD). It has the advantages of adjustable composition and adjustable thickness, so it can completely eliminate reflections on different highly reflective substrates. This type of process can be used in 3 paper sizes that comply with China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X 297 mm) 550695 A7

However, its complexity and cost are slightly higher than those of the organic bottom anti-reflection layer. The photoresist layer on the bottom anti-reflection layer should be as intact as possible to avoid key dimension changes. After the bottom anti-reflection layer is developed, the bottom anti-reflection layer must be removed by physical impact (Physical Bombardment).

Layer 114. A defined first photoresist layer 116 is formed on the bottom anti-reflection layer 1 1 4 'as shown in FIG. 1A. Then, the first photoresist layer 1 16 is used as a mask to sequentially etch a part of the bottom anti-reflection layer 丨 4, a part of the third dielectric layer Π 2, a part of the second protective layer 1 丨 0, and a part of the The second dielectric layer 108 and the first protective layer 106 as an etch stop layer are used to define the opening 1 118 of the dielectric window, as shown in the structure shown in FIG. 1B. Next, please refer to FIG. 1C to form a defined second photoresist layer 120 on the bottom anti-reflection layer 1 14. On the one hand, the second photoresist layer 120 is used as a mask, for example, by dry etching.

The third dielectric layer of the invention (2), and the second dielectric layer 108 below is approximately exposed to define a trench (Trench) 122; and at the same time in the dielectric window A portion of the second photoresist layer 120 is filled in the opening 118, and the second photoresist layer 20 is used as a mask. For example, a dry etching method is used to sequentially etch the exposed bottom anti-reflection layer 114 and the third third layer below. The dielectric layer 112 exposes about a first protective layer 106 to form a double metal damascene opening 1 1 9. Then, the second photoresist layer 120 is removed, and a portion of the first protective layer 106 in the double metal damascene opening 9 is removed by dry etching to expose a portion of the first conductor layer 102, and is formed as The structure shown in Figure 1D. Physical impact is then used to remove the bottom anti-reflection layer, and to remove particles in the double metal inlaid openings 1 19 and the trenches 22. As described in the above-mentioned conventional method, the bottom anti-reflection layer 1 1 4 is used to reduce the reflectivity of the photoresist layer-substrate interface in the lithography process, and defines a double metal inlaid opening 1 9 and a trench 1 2 After 2, since the ions used for the physical impact hit the bottom anti-reflection layer 1 1 4, more particles will be deposited in the reaction chamber, which will affect the subsequent filling effect of other conductor layers.

If the bottom anti-reflection layer is removed by a wet or dry etching method, the first conductor layer at the bottom of the double metal inlaid opening is also easily damaged during the engraving process and causes defects. One of the main objectives of this month is to provide a method for removing the bottom anti-reflection layer, which is to apply a photoresist layer to cover the bottom anti-reflection layer on the surface of the substrate and fill the opening σ. Swing effect and overall effect: Adjust the appropriate exposure energy and the thickness of the photoresist layer. After exposure and development, only the photoresist layer located at the bottom of the opening and covering the conductor layer will be removed, so that the bottom can be removed later. When the anti-reflection layer is used to physically remove particles in the opening by a physical impact, the photoresist layer is used to protect the conductor layer in the opening and avoid the deposition of particles inside the reaction chamber. Another purpose of XM is to provide a method for removing the bottom anti-reflection layer, which is to cover the bottom anti-reflection layer on the surface of the substrate and fill the opening without using a photomask. Not only can most photoresists be used, but also cost savings.
