Embodiment
See also Fig. 4 to Fig. 9, Fig. 4 to Fig. 9 makes the method synoptic diagram of dual-damascene structure on semi-conductor chip for the present invention.As shown in Figure 4, semiconductor chip 20 includes a conductive layer substrate 22, a protective seam 24 is formed in the conductive layer substrate 22 and a dielectric layer 26 is formed on the protective seam 24.At first, apply one deck photoresist layer 28 on the surface of dielectric layer 26, and comprise exposure, the photoetching making technology of developing and cleaning supervisor via one, formation opening 28a in photoresist layer 28 is to limit the groove position in the dual-damascene structure.In preferred embodiment of the present invention, conductive layer substrate 22 is made of the copper metal, and dielectric layer 26 can be lower than 3 dielectric material (as SiLK by monox, fluorine silex glass (FSG) or specific inductive capacity
TM) constitute, protective seam 24 is to be made of silicon nitride.
As shown in Figure 5, then utilize photoresist layer 28, carry out an etching process,,, remove photoresist layer 28 subsequently in dielectric layer 26, to form groove 30 along the opening 28a etching dielectric layer 26 in the photoresist layer 28 as the etching shade.Then, as shown in Figure 6, on the surface of dielectric layer 26, apply one deck photoresist layer 32, and photoresist layer 32 is that groove 30 is filled up, carry out one subsequently and comprise exposure, the gold-tinted manufacture craft of developing and cleaning supervisor, with formation opening 32a in photoresist layer 32, and opening 32a is the position, contact hole that is used for limiting in the dual-damascene structure, and the size that the opening bore of opening 32a will be more required than manufacture craft at this moment is big a little.
And then, as shown in Figure 7, carry out a low temperature chemical vapor deposition manufacture craft,, be used for the opening bore of opening 32a is contracted to the required opening caliber size of manufacture craft to deposit a cover cap rock 34 at the inwall of photoresist layer 32 with opening 32a.In preferred embodiment of the present invention, cover cap rock 34 is one to comprise the macromolecule membrane of carbon and fluorine.
Contact hole 36 then as shown in Figure 8, utilizes cover cap rock 34, carries out an etching process, remove dielectric layer 26 and protective seam 24 in regular turn, so just can be formed in dielectric layer 26 and the protective seam 24 along opening 32a as the etching shade.Then, will overlap cap rock 34 and remove, so a dual-damascene structure is finished with photoresist layer 32.At last, as shown in Figure 9, in dual-damascene structure, insert a metal level 38, and carry out a comprehensive planarization program by a cmp manufacture craft, be positioned at dielectric layer 26 lip-deep metal levels 38 to remove fully, make that metal level 38 upper ends in the dual-damascene structure are rough to trim with dielectric layer 26 surfaces.
Wherein, aforesaid low temperature chemical vapor deposition manufacture craft is a DiRECT (DielectricResolution Enhancement Coating Technique) low temperature chemical vapor deposition method.And this low temperature chemical vapor deposition manufacture craft is to carry out in a high-density plasma etching machine, and its manufacture craft parameter comprises: the carbon fluorine of gas than (C/F) more than or equal to 0.25, to be lower than 100 ℃, pressure limit be that 1 to 100 milli-torr (mtorr), source power (source power) scope are that 500 to 2000 watts and substrate bias power (bias power) scope are 0 to 1200 watt to the manufacture craft temperature.And the available gas of this low temperature chemical vapor deposition manufacture craft comprises C
