、 種尤用5亥一久曝光的方法以製作減光式相位務弁| 方法。 W 早日、J 先前技術 、在微影成像技術中,由於積體電路尺寸不斷地縮小, 造成對圖形曝光精度的要求也愈來愈高。但是尺寸的縮小 會使得在使用光罩進行曝光時產生光學鄰近效應,破壞圖 形之精確度。因此,許許多多的技術被提出以改進成像之 精確度。其中一個被廣為使用之技術是相位移光罩(ph % shift mask ;PSM)之應用。隨著細線化需求日益殷切,相 位移光罩可使用原有機台,1不改變製程,而達到改進解 像度與增加聚焦深度的目的。相位移光罩除了可是用於I 一 線微影、深紫外光微料,亦可是用於極短紫外光微影, 甚至可適用於X-光微影。 由於相位移光罩可以有效地減緩光學鄰近效應帶來的 負面影響,所以其本身也因不斷的改進而產生許多不同種 類的相位移光罩。A致可分為下列幾種類型:交錯型相位 移光罩Ulternate PSM)、唯相移層相位移光罩 only PSM)、邊緣型相位移光罩(Hm psM)、外框型相位移 光罩(outngger PSM)、減光型相位移光罩 PSM)以及邊緣減光複合式相位移光罩(attenu PSM) 〇In particular, the method of 5 Hai for a long time exposure is used to produce a dimming phase processing method. W As early as J, the prior art, in the lithography imaging technology, due to the continuous reduction of the size of the integrated circuit, the requirements for the accuracy of the pattern exposure are getting higher and higher. However, the reduction in size causes an optical proximity effect when the mask is used for exposure, and the accuracy of the pattern is broken. Therefore, many techniques have been proposed to improve the accuracy of imaging. One of the widely used techniques is the application of a phase shift mask (PSM). As the demand for thinning becomes more and more demanding, the phase shift mask can use the original organic table, and the purpose of improving the resolution and increasing the depth of focus is achieved without changing the process. In addition to being used for I-line lithography, deep ultraviolet light micro-materials, phase-shift reticle can also be used for very short ultraviolet lithography, even for X-ray lithography. Since the phase shift mask can effectively alleviate the negative effects of the optical proximity effect, it itself produces many different types of phase shift masks due to continuous improvement. A can be divided into the following types: interleaved phase shift mask (Ulternate PSM), phase shift phase shift mask only PSM), edge type phase shift mask (Hm psM), frame type phase shift mask (outngger PSM), dimming phase shift mask PSM) and edge dimming composite phase shift mask (attenu PSM) 〇

INSTRUCTIONS (3) Providing a manufacturer of a dimming phase shift mask, not only can the pattern be accurately formed on the mask, but also does not require too much mask production time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention can only be used between patterns. The present invention solves the problem of the hood of the present invention by dimming the pattern to two accurately. One of the objectives of the younger one is to provide a pattern of light-shielding layers that are exposed to precise positions, pre-engraved phase of the same layer, and a predetermined pattern of light-shielding layers to be predetermined in order to ensure that the light-shielding layer must be phased. The outer frame of the pattern is the second purpose of the exposure machine. The second exposure cover is again etched in order to make the pattern out of the shadow. It is often necessary to accurately distinguish the outer frame. The reason for providing an operation is that when a photo method is applied to reduce the reticle reticle, the gold is intended to move the continuation pattern to the pattern of the phase shift layer. The meal is removed and the exposure is therefore more time. In order to provide a double exposure method, the method of double exposure at the time of exposure can be greatly shortened, and the chrome-shielding layered opaque layer produced by the reticle can be produced with problems and productivity. The second, however, is the precise position of the exposure of the second second embodiment of the present invention. The first is the production of the pre-dimmer phase, time. The light layer of the I insect defines a layer as a cover for the second rhyme engraved in the dimming area, and the main special frame required for the name of the insect, and the displacement light of the predetermined pattern can be used to make the phase-separable displacement screen. The main phase shift of the larvae and the pattern to be removed will be shaded to make the rest of the area

The preferred embodiment is to form a resist layer 308 by spin coating. Next, it is necessary to start defining the pattern predetermined by the light shielding layer. According to the double exposure of the present invention, the energy-sensing layer for patterning the light-shielding layer is defined, and the predetermined pattern of the light-shielding layer is first exposed by double exposure, and the second etching of the light-shielding layer is performed after development. Then, referring to FIG. 3G, a first exposure process S800 is performed using a first exposure machine, and one of the predetermined patterns of the light shielding layer is exposed to be framed in the second energy sensing layer 308.

Invention description αυ Next, please refer to the third drawing, and use a second exposure machine to implement a first exposure program S9 0 0, all of the area 406 surrounded by the outer frame 104 in the second energy sensing layer 308a is exposed. The complete pattern 404, 406 is exposed in the second energy sensing layer 308b after the second exposure of the MOO, as shown in FIG. 4B. The second exposure machine can be used with a general precision exposure machine, for example, a full-exposure yellow light lithography machine, which does not require high position accuracy. Since the purpose of the one-shot exposure program S 80 0 is to determine the pattern position again, the first exposure machine requires a relatively high positional accuracy. The position accuracy of the first exposure machine is higher than that of the second exposure machine. As for the positional accuracy of the second exposure machine, the requirement is not high, as long as the visibility of the frame 404 outside the predetermined pattern of the light shielding layer is greater than the positional accuracy of the exposure machine. Referring to FIG. 4A again, the width d of the outer frame 4〇4 of the predetermined pattern of the light shielding layer refers to the narrowest position width of the outer frame 410, for example, when the position accuracy of the second exposure machine is greater than 1 mm. The width d of the frame pattern 404 needs to be greater than 1 mm, preferably greater than 2 mm. The two steps of Fig. 3G and Fig. 3 are the main features of the present invention. The predetermined pattern of the light shielding layer is divided into two, one is the outer frame 404 of the pattern, and the outer frame of the predetermined pattern of the light shielding layer is first exposed by the exposure machine with high precision, so that the exposed outer frame pattern 404 falls. At the precise position, the second area of the predetermined pattern is 060, that is, the area surrounded by the outer frame of the pattern, and then the area surrounded by the exposed outer frame is entirely exposed by a general exposure machine. In this way, the second exposure does not require a fairly high positional accuracy, and a general exposure machine can be used as long as the exposure machine is exposed.
