- the method before forming the first photoresist layer 40 on the substrate 10 , the method further includes: forming a word line mask having word line mask openings 45 on the substrate 10 layer 44 ; forming a first photoresist layer 40 on the word line mask layer 44 .
- the first photoresist layer 40 has photoresist openings 43 . Specifically, the plurality of photoresist openings 43 are distributed in an array dislocation, and the photoresist openings 43 are located above the first isolation structure 20 .
- the wordline mask openings 45 have a first dimension perpendicular to the direction in which they extend, and the photoresist openings 43 have a second dimension perpendicular to the direction in which the wordline mask openings 45 extend, the second dimension being greater than the first dimension size.
- the use of the word line mask layer 44 can ensure that the portion of the photoresist opening 43 that falls in the word line mask opening 45 will etch the isolation structure downward, so that the size of the first groove 231 formed in the isolation structure will not be too large Defects that are large and in direct contact with adjacent active regions.
- forming the first groove 231 and the second groove 232 on the isolation structure includes: etching the isolation by using the photoresist opening 43 on the first photoresist layer 40 and the word line mask layer 44 The structure forms grooves 41 ; the isolation structures are etched using word line mask openings 45 to form first grooves 231 and second grooves 232 .
- a substrate is provided having isolation structures and a plurality of active regions 11 disposed between the plurality of active regions 11; in FIG. 10B, a word having word line mask openings 45 is formed Line mask layer 44; as shown in FIG. 10C to FIG. 11, a first photoresist layer 40 is formed on the word line mask layer 44. At this time, the first photoresist layer 40 has a photoresist opening 43. Due to the existence of the line mask layer 44, after the first photoresist layer 40 is formed, the groove 41 can be pre-etched on the isolation structure corresponding to the photoresist opening 43, and then the word line mask layer 44 can be used to etch the grooves 41.
- the isolation structure forms the first groove 231 and the second groove 232 .
- the word line mask layer 44 can not only prevent the photoresist opening 43 from being too large to cause the groove 41 formed in the isolation structure to directly contact the adjacent active region, but also serve as an etching mask for the isolation structure and the active region 11, The process flow can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.
- the semiconductor structure formed by the method has a longer first protrusion, which can enhance the control ability of the word line to the transistor channel, reduce the leakage current problem of the semiconductor structure, thereby improving the performance of the semiconductor structure, and is suitable for small size and high performance.
