[Previous Technology] With the miniaturization of semiconductor design, submicron-designed semiconductor devices have become more and more important. Moreover, semiconductor devices containing sub-microns also gradually reduce costs as the tide increases. In the rice manufacturing process, because the circuit design or component design are all oriented to the purpose = when the micro-engraving is difficult, the pattern alignment of the two = = the electrical connection between the components described above, and form a contact window between them, However, in the sub-micron process, the conductive path is used. The width of the contact windows is equal, so once the smoke; the width of the wire itself is related to the conduction area between the connecting wire and the contact window, it is easy to reduce the increase, and increase the capacitance-resistance delay. 'This leads to an increase in the overall resistance. In addition, Tian Fansheng's inaccuracy is easy to remove together when the wire is etched. T,' The exposed contact window is also very similar, which leads to an increase in overall resistance, q, and contact. A missing corner of the window is present.
