In photoetching process, correctly to transfer on the wafer for making mask pattern, critical step is with mask and wafer alignment, promptly calculates the position of mask with respect to wafer, to satisfy the requirement of lithographic accuracy.When characteristic size more and more hour, also increasingly high to the requirement of lithographic accuracy and consequent requirement to alignment precision.
In order to accomplish the effect of aligning; As shown in Figure 1, before carrying out photoetching process, all can in wafer 10, etch some patterns earlier, as zero alignment mark (Zero Mark) 12; Follow-up carry out resist exposure each time before, need to use zero alignment mark to carry out aiming at of mask and wafer.
For EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ReadOnly Memory; EEPROM), in the manufacturing process of polysilicon gate, often generation can't be distinguished the zero alignment mark that is positioned on the wafer; Cause wafer to be return; Perhaps zero alignment mark is fuzzyyer, though do not return, yet in manufacture craft; Also be difficult to mask on zero alignment mark aim at the situation generation of the accuracy decline that causes aiming at fully.
Summary of the invention
The problem that the present invention solves provides a kind of method of aiming at performance in the polysilicon gate manufacture craft that improves, in order to improve the alignment accuracy in the polysilicon manufacture craft.
For addressing the above problem; The present invention provides a kind of method of aiming at performance in the polysilicon gate manufacture craft that improves; Comprise: Semiconductor substrate is provided, has zero alignment mark on the described Semiconductor substrate, gate oxide and the polysilicon layer that is used for the manufacturing polycrystalline silicon grid; On said polysilicon layer, form mask pattern, the opening of said mask pattern is corresponding with zero alignment mark; The said polysilicon layer of etching, gate oxide are to zero alignment mark successively; Remove said mask pattern; Alignment mark on the mask of the zero alignment mark of said Semiconductor substrate and manufacturing polycrystalline silicon grid is aimed at.
Compared with prior art, such scheme has the following advantages:
Aim at the method for performance in the raising polysilicon gate manufacture craft according to the invention; Before the aligning that carries out the polysilicon gate making, through etching technics the zero alignment mark on the described Semiconductor substrate is come out earlier, carry out the Alignment Process of the mask of Semiconductor substrate and manufacturing polycrystalline silicon grid subsequently again; Avoided zero alignment mark unintelligible; The phenomenon that can't aim at has fully improved the accuracy of aiming at, thereby has improved the yield of product.
