The manufacturing method of the invention. Background of the invention: The current integrated circuit lithography process is very complicated, and most of them contain dozens of mask steps. The photoresist used in the general lithography process is made of resin, sensitizer, solvent. It is mixed with other additives. When it is light, it will form a chain to strengthen the photoresist structure and is not soluble in the developer. It is called negative light P矣, otherwise it is called positive light resistance. In addition to the photographic ability, it should have good adhesion, etch resistance and resolution. Therefore, the material properties and properties of the photoresist are closely related to the yield and accuracy of the process. The lithography process, in addition to selecting the material of the photoresist, also pay attention to line width, stacking, yield and component characteristics, and evaluate the quality of the transfer pattern in the lithography process, mainly According to the resolution and depth of focus, the higher the resolution and the deeper the depth of focus, the better the transfer quality of the pattern. With the increase of 70 pieces of accumulation, the line width and line spacing become more and more subtle. The resolution of the lithography process is also becoming higher and higher. In the fabrication of a high-accuracy, fine-patterned integrated circuit, the optical diffraction effect in the lithography process, such as the pr〇ximity effect. , will be the paper scale for the financial standards (CNS) A4 specifications (10) χ _ 297 ^) ............ $: (Please read the note on the back and then fill out this page) Order · l3 〇 l632 A7 B7 i, invention description () Causes poor contrast and resolution of the main body, resulting in incomplete or wrong circuit patterns. In order to get the resolution of the South Optical Exposure System, it is usually necessary to use a light source with a shorter wavelength as the exposure light source. However, the reduction in the wavelength of the light source causes a reduction in the depth of focus (DOF), and for a line width of less than 5 μm, the depth of focus is almost equal to the difference in surface undulations, which is difficult to focus successfully. Devices with high numerical aperture are generally used to improve exposure latitude and printing, but this leads to a reduction in depth of focus. A shallower depth of focus can result in the developer not being able to develop to the bottom of the photoresist... and the contact metal wire cannot be completely in contact with the component, and even the <combat contact metal wire cannot contact the component to form an open circuit. Therefore, the electrical stability of the 7L piece is reduced, resulting in a decrease in process reliability. ..............t! (Please read the notes on the back and then fill out this page.)

Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit to form a wide contact hole. The opening, because the width of the opening of the contact hole is wider, the process window is larger, and the depth of focus can be prevented from being insufficient. Therefore, an opening having a wider width than the predetermined width is defined on the original photoresist, and the water is used for water saving.

Next, a development step is carried out by transferring the second photoresist material 104 using deionized water or an aqueous solution containing deionized water, such as a mixture of deionized water and an alcohol. The potential pattern is formed to form the first photoresist layer 104a. Since the film 110 is not removed by the lithography process, it remains on the surface of the first photoresist layer, so that the first In the soil map, the width Wi of the original contact hole 106 becomes the width W2 in the third figure, and the purpose of reducing the line width of the contact hole is achieved. Alternatively, a mask having a wider opening process window can be used, and the present invention can be used in combination. The method provided provides the purpose of the original expected opening width. Therefore, it is worth noting that the method of the present invention with the filling of the reticle is only an example, and can be used together with a general reticle without a filling hole. The invention is not limited to this. In addition, when the water-soluble negative photoresist of the present invention is applied as the second photoresist layer i〇4 on the first photoresist layer 102 and the substrate 1 , soft baking is possible ( Sof t bake ; SB) step, for example, softly baking the water-soluble negative photoresist for about 70 seconds with a temperature of about 85 ° C. Alternatively, after exposure of the second photoresist material 1 〇 4, post-exposure baking may be performed ( Post ExP〇sure Bake; pEB) + step 'for example, baking the water-soluble negative photoresist with a temperature of about 130 ° C for about 9 〇 seconds. It is worth noting that the above soft-bake step has been used The portion of the photoresist layer is easily removed by the photoresist, and the post-exposure baking step is incorporated into a cow to minimize the amount of solvent remaining in the photoresist by evaporation. The two baking steps do not affect the present invention. Method and water soluble negative photoresist

Invention description (In addition to the invention adopted. For example, when the first photoresist layer is a positive photoresist, the first mask of the selected ^ ^ ^ ^ should have a dark background and the desired pattern should be transparent, and When the first barrier layer of the first-stop field is water-soluble negative photoresist, the second mask used should be transparent and the desired pattern should be the same as the above-mentioned Inventive ^__ /5 ψ, the advantage of knowing 5 is that since the water-soluble negative photoresist reacts with the acid component of the photoresist material originally formed on the substrate, a thin film is formed between the two interfaces. Achieving a reduction in line width... In addition, another advantage of the present invention is that it is more versatile after using a mask with a filled hole pattern. The purpose of the present invention is to improve the depth of focus. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
