The installation of the integrated body (SDAM) or the dynamic fuse is electrically redundant. The memory single-break and high-input in the circuit is related to the fact that a coating with a coating layer is first used as a fuse window on the fuse as a fuse window, and when the repair is required, the conductor device is increased to increase the accumulation degree. There is an increasing trend path (IC) such as memory random access memory to repair the welds connected to the manufacturing test. At present, the burning current is dominant. The method of forming the filament of the fuse, the oxidation is formed to retain the moderately surnamed and the exposed filament window may enter the maximum volume, thus, in the process of producing the yield (DRAM) in the yield device The method of replacing the memory wire, the method of breaking the dissolved wire, in particular, is applied to the semiconductor layer-stop layer-oxygen. When the thickness of the fuse can not be manufactured by the body circuit, it is also static and static, and the body unit is plucked and then the method is approximated. In the process of oxidizing or damage-breaking, the intermediate memory is followed by redundant memory for accessing the machine, and the laser can be used to guide the device.

The opening 110a exposes a portion of the dielectric layer 109 above the metal interconnect 1a-7a. surface. The dielectric layer 丨〇 9 is, for example, an oxide layer as a coating layer over the fuse 1 0 7 b. Referring to FIG. 1f, the dielectric layer 109' is patterned by masking the mask layer 1 to form an opening i〇9a in the dielectric layer 1〇9, and the position of the opening i〇9a is followed. The position of the 烊塾 ' 'opening 1 〇 9 a will expose the surface of the metal interconnect 1 〇 7 a, and then remove the patterned mask layer 1 1 。. Please refer to FIG. 1g'. Next, an adhesion layer 丨丨i, an alloy metal layer ii 2 and an anti-reflection layer 113 are formed in conformity on the exposed surface of the opening 109a and the dielectric layer 1〇9, and anti-reflection is formed. A patterned mask layer 114 is formed on the layer jig, and the patterned mask layer 114 covers the anti-reflection layer 113 at a position above the opening 1 〇 9a. The width of the patterned mask layer ι 14 is larger than the width of the opening 1 〇 9 & The barrier layer 1 11 is, for example, a nitride nitride (TaN) layer having a thickness of about 6 〇〇 a. The barrier layer 111 prevents the alloy metal layer 112 from diffusing into the dielectric layer 1 〇 9; the alloy metal layer 11 2 is, for example, copper. The aluminum (a 1 Cu ) layer has a thickness of about 1 2 K & the anti-reflective layer 113 is, for example, a layer of yttrium oxynitride (Si〇N) having a thickness of about goo a, which does not allow the alloy metal layer 112 to be transferred during pattern transfer.

案戒 五、發明說明(4) 障層11 1 a ;然後,去除圖案化罩幕層丨丨4。 因為金屬焊墊112a上所形成之抗反射層丨13a具有絕緣 作用,因此後續以金屬線來連接金屬焊墊丨丨2a與外界接腳 時,可能會有無法導通的情況,所以金屬焊墊丨丨2a上所形 成之抗反射層11 3 a必須被去除以利於後續之導通。 清筝考第li圖,於介墊層1〇9及抗反射層U3a上形成 一圖案化罩幕層116。圖案化罩幕層116具有開口117&及 117b,開口U7a會露出金屬焊墊1123上方位置之抗反射層 11 3a的部份表面,開口 1丨7b則會露出熔絲丨〇 7b上方位置^ 介電層1 0 9的部份表面。 接著,以圖案化罩幕層116為罩幕蝕刻抗反射層113a 及介電層1 09,以在抗反射層113a處形成開口丨丨5a及在熔 絲1 0 7 b上方之介電層形成溶絲窗11 5 b,並將圖案化罩幕層 11 6去除,如第1 j圖所示。 曰 因為金屬焊墊11 2a必須露出表面才可提供與外界之接 線連接,因此開口 11 5a所露出之覆蓋在金屬焊墊上方之抗 反射層11 3a被蝕刻而去除。同時,由於構成抗反射層丨丨3a 的氮氧化矽的蝕刻速度小於蝕刻由氧化矽層構成之介電層 i〇g的速度,因此,在開口115a露出之抗反射層113&被完曰 全去除後’炼絲窗11 5 b的深度會被钱刻的較深,導致炼絲 10 7b上方位置僅殘留厚度甚小的介電層1〇9b。 因為k絲1 0 7 b上方位置之介電層1 〇 9 b的厚度相當薄, 因此相當容易在後續製程中被餘穿而失去功用;相反,如 果在溶絲1 0 7 b上方位置形成之熔絲窗深度較淺,來避免介Case ring V. Invention description (4) Barrier layer 11 1 a; Then, the patterned mask layer 丨丨 4 is removed. Since the anti-reflection layer 13a formed on the metal pad 112a has an insulating effect, when the metal pad 2a and the external pin are subsequently connected by a metal wire, there may be a possibility that the metal pad 无法2a cannot be turned on, so the metal pad 丨The anti-reflective layer 11 3 a formed on the crucible 2a must be removed to facilitate subsequent conduction. In the case of the gem test, a patterned mask layer 116 is formed on the interlaminar layer 1〇9 and the anti-reflection layer U3a. The patterned mask layer 116 has openings 117 & 117b. The opening U7a exposes a portion of the surface of the anti-reflective layer 11 3a above the metal pad 1123, and the opening 1 丨 7b exposes the position above the fuse 丨〇 7b. Part of the surface of the electrical layer 109. Next, the anti-reflective layer 113a and the dielectric layer 119 are etched by using the patterned mask layer 116 as a mask to form an opening a5a at the anti-reflective layer 113a and a dielectric layer formed over the fuse 117b. The wire window 11 5 b is melted and the patterned mask layer 116 is removed, as shown in Fig. 1 j.曰 Since the metal pad 11 2a must expose the surface to provide a connection to the outside, the anti-reflective layer 11 3a exposed by the opening 11 5a over the metal pad is etched and removed. At the same time, since the etching rate of yttrium oxynitride constituting the anti-reflection layer 丨丨3a is smaller than the etching speed of the dielectric layer i〇g composed of the yttrium oxide layer, the anti-reflection layer 113& exposed at the opening 115a is completed. After removal, the depth of the wire-making window 11 5 b will be deeper, so that only the dielectric layer 1〇9b with a small thickness remains at the position above the wire 10 7b. Since the thickness of the dielectric layer 1 〇 9 b at the upper position of the k wire 1 0 7 b is relatively thin, it is relatively easy to be lost in the subsequent process and lost its function; on the contrary, if it is formed above the dissolved wire 1 0 7 b The fuse window is shallower to avoid
