[Prior Art] As the line width of the integrated circuit is continuously reduced, the miniaturization of the semiconductor element has entered the deep sub-micron and the nano-level] and the density of the semiconductor element on the single-crystal # is greater than that of the 7G piece. The smaller the interval between them, the more difficult it is to make contact holes. Especially when the line width of the semiconductor element reaches 65 nm or even 45 nm, openings such as contact holes, via holes and trenches, especially high aspect ratio openings, are made, and the difficulty is increased. . At present, the contact hole engraving process is mostly performed by the photoresist mask method (10) and the hard mask approach.

After about 120 nm of the after devei〇pment critical dimension (ADICD)' and in order to increase the margin of depth 〇f focus (DOF), the thickness of the i93 nm photoresist must be further reduced. Thinning, but also causes difficulty in subsequent etching. In addition, the conventional photoresist mask method still has the disadvantages of standard wave and bowling profile 1343091. , Hard County (four) riding using metal or metal alloy as _ hard cover to increase the frequency of the process. In addition to the amount of hard food itself, whether it is resistant or not, does the hard mask affect the front layer when it is deposited, for example, for a component that has been called a metal layer, the subsequent hard mask is deposited. The temperature H 2 ^ _ C ' and whether the hard mask layer remaining after _ is easy to remove 荨, etc., are all factors that must be considered. It can be seen that there are many shortcomings to be improved in the technical skill of the art. The technical field particularly needs an improved contact hole manufacturing method, which can avoid the use of a metal hard mask while achieving the desired size. Fine etch mspect critical dimensi〇n, fine and contact hole porch.

However, the drawings are for reference only and are supported by Fu Lin Ri Lai, and _ scales _ pure limit. [Embodiment] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, there is shown a schematic cross-sectional view showing an opening such as a contact hole formed on a half-wafer wafer in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For example, the third 曰曰 示 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Substrate, SiGe semiconductor substrate, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, etc., at this time, the conductive region 12 may be an electrically conductive/doped region, for example, a metal oxide semiconductor ( Metal-oxide-semiconductor, MOS) source/drain doping region. In addition, 'underlayer 10 can also be an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer'. 'Doped silicate glass, low-dielectric constant or low-dielectric constant material, etc., at this time, the conductive region 12 may be a lower metal interconnection. For example, a copper wire formed in the underlying germanium is covered by a damascene process. If the conductive region 12 is a copper metal formed in a dielectric layer by a damascene process, usually between the dielectric layer and the copper metal. There will also be a barrier layer to avoid copper Diffusion, but the barrier layer is not shown in the figure. On the surface of the bottom layer 10 and the conductive region 12, a dielectric layer 14 is covered, which may be doped bismuth glass, germanium dioxide or a low dielectric constant material. Etc., the formation can be by chemical vapor deposition (chemical vap〇rd printing siti〇n, C milk) method or spin-coated coating (SOC) method, etc. As shown in Figure 2, Then, a dielectric layer 16 is formed on the dielectric layer 14, such as n〇V〇laC type phenolic resin (novo丨acresin) or a material similar to i_line photoresist, and has a thickness of about (10) angstroms (angstlOm) J_3_埃, preferably about 聊埃. Right 1 lme plant as an example, its formation method is a general-like photoresist coating process, coated on the 1341091 dielectric layer 14, and then baked for curing β, then, after etching A resistive layer 16 is formed with a layer of 18-'s hard-containing hard-mask Bottom anti-reflection coating (SHB), which is an organic south molecular polymer containing 石rgan〇siiic〇 Np〇iymer) or polysilane (at least one chromophore gr0Up) and one The joint group ((^0381丨111^16运1*0叩), as shown in Fig. 8, has a silicon content of about 5% to 30% by weight, preferably 15 Between % and 25/ί>, in addition, a crosslinking agent (cr〇ssiinking agent) may be contained in the composition to cause the SHB layer 18 to generate a crosslinking reaction after illumination. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the SHB layer 18 has characteristics which can be obtained by adjusting the germanium content to obtain different etching resistance, and can exhibit good antireflection in the lithography process. In other words, the present invention is used as an anti-reflection layer formed under the photoresist layer, and at the same time, by adjusting the germanium content, a higher button selection ratio is generated between the underlying etching resist layer 16 φ (etching selectivity). ). In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the SHB layer 18 has a germanium content of between 15% and 25%, and a thickness of between 15 and 11 angstroms, preferably about 8 angstroms. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the SHB layer 18 is formed on the etched resist layer 16 in a spin coating manner, so that the front layer is not affected, for example, a nickel metallization layer has been formed. 12 1343091 According to the present invention, after the completion of the aforementioned coating, the baking process can be further carried out to drive off the solvent. Further, the side impact layer 16 may not be baked first after coating, but may be baked after the SHB 8 is applied. After forming the SHB layer 18, a photoresist layer 20 is then applied over the ship layer 18. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the photoresist layer 2 is a photoresist or a photoresist. According to the present invention, the thickness of the photoresist layer 2〇 does not need to be too thick, because the photoresist layer 2 is mainly When it is _ dry _ way Na to the bottom of the coffee ^, as - dry _ fresh. In the embodiment of the age of the county (four), the thickness of the photoresist layer is only about 600 angstroms to 2,200 angstroms, preferably about 15 angstroms. In the past, she needed a thickness of more than 3 angstroms. Therefore, the present invention can obtain a larger margin in the yellow lithography process, and can also obtain a relatively small transfer junction. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the photoresist The thickness of the layer 2 turns is less than the thickness of the side abutting layer. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the (four) layer has a high residual selection ratio between the etched layers. The π is then subjected to a lithography process, and the formation/opening 22' in the resist layer 20 is defined by exposure, development, etc., to define the position and shape of the contact hole which is finally formed under the dielectric. The opening 22 exposes a portion of the coffee layer 18, face' and has a size (atodevelGpmentinspeetcriticai 13 1343091 dimension, ADICD), for example, 65 nm. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the photoresist layer 20 is used as an etch mask to perform a dry side f path, and the fine pattern defined by the σ 22 is transferred to the lower SHB layer 18 via the side to form an opening 28, A portion of the surface of the side anchor layer 16 is exposed. According to the present invention, the residual gas used in the upper-level paste needle includes at least a tetrafluoromethane (CFj gas and a hydrogen-containing halothane gas, for example, trifluoromethane Ifl_methanes eKp3).
