Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a lithography process, and more particularly to a pretreatment method for photoresist coating and forming light on a substrate The method of resistance. [Prior Art] The flow of general semiconductor device fabrication is quite complicated, including film deposition, lithography, etching, ion implantation, and thermal processing steps. Among them, the photolithography process can be said to be one of the most important steps in the entire semiconductor process. The basic process of lithography consists of three steps: coating photoresist, exposure and development. Among them, the photoresist used in the lithography process is mainly composed of three different components of a resin (Resin), a sensitizer (Sensitizer) and a solvent, which are present in a liquid form. In addition to the photo-resistance of the photoresist, the good photoresist should have good adhesion, resistivity and resolution. (10) Poor adhesion or poor resistance to remnantness will cause the pattern to be poor or even fail when the film is in the surface. The poor resolution will make the process more precise. Basically, these points are all coming together. Therefore, 'the quality of the photoresist and the yield and accuracy of the process are very (4) _. Among them, the influence of light = whether there is a real and complete money Wei Li, and light The resistance is shown in Fig. 1A to Fig. 1 (1) as a conventional method for forming a photoresist on a substrate: 〇, 13〇··d 97-05-26 A bottom January 〇Γ, 丄A, first provide predetermined coating The substrate 10 of the photoresist includes a plurality of large and small components of the soil structure, #;r芸,芸::: layer_ with shape=== structure and dielectric layer surface resist When the surface of the photoresist is also in the middle, the solution has been provided for this problem, namely: it: 'Before the coating on the substrate 101 - the layer flattening layer 3, the flatness can be obtained. The surface of the substrate 101. The function of the resin is as a sticky plastic = knife containing resin, can add "the main agent, so when the photoresist is thick liquid, if the substrate 1G1 is still a dry surface, then proceed Rotating coating the above problem will result in the use of a solvent to wet the surface of the soil 101 in the base peak first = not l technology. However, this The step of wetting the substrate 1〇1 is likely to cause damage to the process planarization layer 103, making the surface of the substrate 101 more undulating. Referring to FIG. 1C, the above-mentioned substrate 101 is wetted by using a solvent. The surface of the substrate 101 is more undulating, so that when the subsequent photoresist 105 is applied, the surface of the photoresist 1〇5❺ is also followed by the damaged process planarization layer 1〇3 to exhibit a high and low shape. The accuracy of the pattern transfer is greatly affected. [Invention] In view of the above, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming light 1309 Pro-97-05-26 resistance on a substrate to solve the process flatness. The problem of layer damage and the problem of undulation of the photoresist surface. Based on the above and other objects, the present invention proposes a method of forming a photoresist on a substrate, which comprises providing a substrate and planarizing on the substrate. The layer is formed on the surface of the planarization layer of the process, and the surface of the substrate is used. The material of the substrate is insoluble in the solvent. Finally, Coating a photoresist on a substrate. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist is formed on a substrate, and the thickness of the process planarization layer is, for example, 1 to 6 Å.

In addition, the solvent is, for example, an edge backside rinse (EBR). The second method of the present invention is applied to a photoresist coating using a barrier coating process planarization layer, thereby solving the problem in the conventional technology towel. Due to the use of the solvent to wet the base, the process is such that the process planarization layer is dissolved and damaged by the solvent. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the aspects of the invention. [Embodiment] One of the i-months is focused on the surface of the process flattening layer, and then a unique layer is formed, which is caused by the process flattening layer caused by the solvent-based substrate. The following examples are intended to illustrate the application of the present invention, but do not require lithography in the process of I3〇9^2wadoc/d 97-05-26 to define the scope of the present invention, and the steps of the semiconductor process can be applied. this invention. 2A through 2D are schematic cross-sectional views showing a process flow for forming a photoresist on a substrate in accordance with the present invention. μ β ', one Please refer to Figure 2Α first, and open 2〇3 on the substrate 201. Wherein 'the process flattening layer 2〇3 ::the heart is between the surface ~_G ang. The surface on which the crucible flattening layer 201 is formed also appears to be relatively flat. Soil - Next, please refer to FIG. 2B, on the surface of the process flattening layer: the layer 205' is used to cover the process planarization layer by using the isolation layer 2〇5, and the method for forming the isolation layer is, for example, dielectric resolution. The coating is enhanced and the thickness of the barrier layer 205 is set, for example, between 500 and 15 Torr as desired. However, in the above-mentioned embodiment of forming the spacer layer, the dielectric resolution is improved by the coating technique, and the other layer can form the isolation layer, and the method still shoots. It is fine here, and dielectric analysis is only used as a paradigm. Next, please refer to FIG. 2C 'The known photoresist 2〇7 is a thick liquid solvent. In order to complete the subsequent spin coating photoresist 2〇7, a wetting step will be performed on the substrate 201, that is, The surface of this substrate 203 is wetted with a solvent. Shot, this solvent is, for example, a crystal edge cleaning solution ‘. The spacer layer 2G5 selects the material f which is not dissolved in the solvent, so the spacer layer 205 has the function of protecting the process planarization layer. Therefore, in the prior art, the problem that the process planarization layer 203 is damaged by the solvent will also be solved. solve. I3〇9%2wG.doc/d 97-05-26 After that, the tea is tested in FIG. 2D, and after the step of moistening the substrate 2〇 with a solvent in FIG. 2C, a layer photoresist 207 is coated on the substrate 201. In general, the thinner the thickness of the photoresist, the better the resolution, but the thickness should be thicker to prevent the intrusion of impurities, and the thickness of the photoresist should be covered on the wafer. Make the first resistance reach the appropriate state. For example, the degree can range from 4_ to _. Between the angstroms, and the range == the best state, but it does not mean that the invention is limited to this range. The degree f is considered as described above, and the invention is characterized in that 3 is formed on the substrate, and the layer is formed. A layer of isolation is formed on the surface. By using this separation coating process planarization layer, it is destroyed by the solvent cleaning, and the surface is maintained. When the photoresist is applied to the substrate, the surface of the photoresist is relatively flat, and the technical value of the pattern transfer can be improved, and the system is improved. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the preferred embodiment, As described above, any one skilled in the art will be able to make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit of the invention, and the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.濩 [Simple Description of the Drawings] The method of knowing the age-based undercutting, 2A is a schematic diagram showing the process flow for forming a photoresist on a substrate in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. 13093⁄4^ doc/d 97-05-26 [Description of main component symbols] 101, 201: substrate 103, 203: process planarization layer 105, 207: photoresist 205: isolation layer 10
