Description of the Invention (2) First, a conductor layer or a drain / source region 21 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 20, and then a first insulating layer 22 is deposited and flat. After the first insulating layer 22 is formed, a second insulating layer 23 is deposited. The first insulating layer 22 and the second insulating layer 23 are then patterned and etched, and contact holes 24 are formed at this time. After the contact hole 24 is formed, the second insulating layer is patterned again and the second insulating layer is etched. At this time, the trench 25 of the metal wire appears, and then the metal crane (^) or metal copper (Cu) 2 6 is filled. In the contact hole 24 and the trench 25 of the metal wire, a metal polishing method (CMP: chemical-mechanical polishing) is used to finish polishing the metal on the second insulating layer. The above mentioned is the basic process of double inlay of metal. The third A ~ D drawing shows the dual-mosaic structure diagram of the flash gate and its metal. The structure of the flash memory (F 1 ash) on the transistor gate 3 1 is a floating gate 301 (Floating Gate) and a control gate 302 (Control Gate). Because they are stacked on top of each other, plus the upper insulating layer 32, the total height (X shown in the figure) can reach 8 0 0 Angstroms (A) to 1 100 Angstroms (A). As the line width becomes smaller and smaller, the light source for yellow light exposure is from 0-ΐin, I-1 ine, to the deep UV light source today. However, using a deep ultraviolet (deep UV) light source usually forms an anti-reflective layer 33 (ARC: Anti-Ref 1 Reflective Coating) before applying the photoresist. The purpose is to make the exposed profile (Prof i le) better. As mentioned above, the flash memory gate 31 plus the upper insulating layer 32 can reach a height of 80,000 angstroms (from 110,000 angstroms (a)). After the antireflection layer 33 is formed, its The thickness of the reflective layer at the corners of the insulating layer edge of the contact hole 34 is 341, which is only half or more of the thickness of the other positions.

Description of the invention (3) It is thin. This situation will cause over-etching (Edge under-cut) at the corners of the insulating layer edge of the contact hole when the metal double-inlaid etching is performed on the groove of the metal wire. See figure c. The trench of the original metal wire was etched to a thickness of 2000 to 2500 Angstroms. However, due to this phenomenon, an extra 500 Angstroms will be etched at the corner of the insulating layer edge of the contact hole, which is equivalent to The corner of the insulating layer edge of the hole is etched from 2500 to 3500 Angstroms. This situation can be caused by the excessive ㈣ phenomenon at the corner of the insulating layer edge to cause a short-term phenomenon in the subsequent metal wiring. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the grooves of the metal wires can only be etched with a thickness of i 5000-2000 angstroms, so as to avoid the over-etching phenomenon at the corners of the layer caused by the "etching at the gate". Subsequent short circuit of metal wiring. The groove of the original metal wire became shallower because of the need to avoid the short circuit of the metal wire, but this caused another problem, that is, the groove of the metal wire due to the groove of the gold wire. It becomes shallower, and there is a danger of metal disconnection during the chemical mechanical polishing of rhenium. See the third D figure, the metal wire 35 is on the insulating layer 32, and the thickness in the trench should be 2000 ~ 2500. Angstrom, but in order to avoid excessive etching at the corners of the insulating layer, which results in etching to the gate and short-circuiting in the subsequent metal wiring, the thickness is reduced to 5,000 to 2000 Angstroms. When mechanical polishing is performed, in order to ensure that the adjacent metal lines 35 of the entire wafer will not be connected due to polishing; therefore, there will be an over-polishing (〇verp 0 1 ishing) step. But this over-polishing The steps are The metal wire 35 formed on the insulating layer 32 was worn away, causing the problem of metal disconnection. In addition, the original thickness of the metal and wire 35 became smaller, causing the problem of metal disconnection ° 3 Outer 'metal wire 3 5 original thickness has become smaller, relative

According to the above concept, the metal layer is metal tungsten or metal copper. The above conception, wherein the step of depositing the metal layer on the plurality of metal conductors and the plurality of contact holes includes: covering the metal layer on the marginal layer of Eryiyi, the plurality of metal wire trenches and The plurality of contact holes; genus, two or more metal wire trenches and gold other than the plurality of contact holes are subjected to chemical mechanical polishing. [Embodiments] Some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as follows. However, in addition to the detailed disclosure, the present invention can be widely implemented in other embodiments, and the scope of the month is not limited, which is subject to the scope of subsequent patents. The contact hole ^ invention discloses a method of using a photoresist to fill the contact hole to reduce the height difference between the metal contact region and the insulating layer region to prevent the lead wire trench above the contact hole from being excessive at its edges. The remaining phenomena, such as the value weaving to avoid subsequent metal wiring short circuit or metal disconnection and metal wire resistance moxibustion and so on. Sand is a method for forming a metal-only mosaic as shown in the fourth A to F drawings. Firstly, a plurality of gates 4 丨 are formed on the circle 40, and the height of the gates is about 5000-200 angstroms. Next, a first insulating layer 42 is deposited on the silicon wafer 40, and the insulating q σ is a silicon dioxide layer or a silicon nitride layer or a silicon dioxide layer and a silicon nitride layer 1226675 -Ά -..... 92106394_ Twisting V. Description of the Invention (9)-'一' 一 ^-These are alternately stacked on top of each other. The insulating layer is then planarized. The planarization method may be a method of flowing at high temperature (f10w), a method of etch back, or a chemical mechanical polishing method. The emphasis of this flattening is whether the flatness is achieved or not. Therefore, according to different processes, the end point of a flattening can be to stop at the top of the gate 41 (as in the embodiment of the present case) or a part of the intermediate pole 41 still remains The thickness stops at the first insulating layer 42. When the planarization process of the insulating layer 42 is completed, a second insulating layer 43 having a thickness of about 3,000 to 40,000 angstroms is deposited. The second insulating layer may be a silicon dioxide layer or a nitride nitride layer. The deposition method may be a low pressure chemical deposition method or a plasma enhanced chemical deposition method (PECVD). Then, the second insulating layer is covered with light ^ and the photoresist is patterned, and the contact hole 44 is etched out by an anisotropic etching method. At this time, the height of the contact hole 44 is about 80000 to 11000. . Then remove the photoresist that was originally covered. 'Add another layer of photoresist 45 on the silicon wafer 40, and adjust the depth of focus (DOF: Depth Of Focus) so that the photoresist on the second insulating layer 43 is fully exposed.' However, the photoresist in the contact hole 44 is not fully exposed. It is preferable that the photoresist energy in the contact hole 44 is more than half of the depth of the contact hole. After the focus depth is determined, comprehensive exposure and development are performed. Then, an anti-reflection layer 46 having a thickness of about 500 to 100 angstroms is formed on a silicon wafer, and the anti-reflection layer 46 is composed of some organic materials. After the antireflection layer 46 is formed, the upper photoresist 47 is used to pattern the metal wires. After the non-isotropic anti-reflection layer and the second insulating layer 4 3 of about 2000 to 2500 angstroms are not covered by the photoresist, the photoresist 47 is removed. At this time, the metal wire channel 48 is form. At this time, since the anti-reflection layer 46 is an organic material, it will be removed in this photoresist removal step. Next, a metal layer 49 is formed on the wafer. The metal may be metal tungsten or metal copper. Finally, the chemical-mechanical polishing method is used to remove the metal other than the metal wire channel 48. 1226675 ^ --- M ^ _921〇6394 V. Description of the invention (10) The process of forming a double metal inlay. ^ Fifth, the method for forming the metal dual damascene shown in Figures A to F. Firstly, a first metal wire 5 is formed on a silicon wafer 50 having a transistor shape, and then a first insulating layer 52 is formed on the silicon wafer 50. This insulating layer may be silicon dioxide or nitride. Layer or silicon dioxide layer and silicon nitride layer are alternately stacked on top of each other to form and then planarize the insulating layer. The method of planarization may be a method of adding high temperature to make it flow (fl0w), or etch back ), Or by chemical mechanical polishing method, the final thickness of the first insulating layer 5 2 is about 50,000 to 70,000 angstroms. When the planarization process of the insulating layer 52 is completed, a second insulating layer 53 having a thickness of about 300 to 4000 angstroms is deposited. The second insulating layer may be a silicon oxide layer or a silicon nitride layer. The deposition method may be a low pressure chemical deposition method (LPCVD) or a plasma enhanced chemical deposition method (pECVD). Then, the second insulating layer is covered with a photoresist and the photoresist is patterned, and the contact hole 54 is etched out by anisotropic etching. At this time, the height of the contact hole 54 is about 8000 to 1 1 0. 0 0 Angstroms. After removing the photoresist that was originally covered, add another layer of photoresist 55 on the silicon wafer and adjust the depth of focus (DOF: Depth Of Focus) so that the photoresist energy on the first insulating layer 5 3 is fully exposed, but the contact The photoresist in the hole $ 4 is not fully exposed. It is best to leave the photoresist energy in the contact hole 54 more than half of the depth of the contact hole. After the focus depth is determined, comprehensive exposure and development are performed. An anti-reflection layer 56 having a thickness of about 500 to 1,000 angstroms is then formed on the silicon wafer 50. The anti-reflection layer 56 is composed of some organic materials. After the anti-reflection layer 56 is formed, the photoresist 5 7 is patterned on the metal wires. After the anisotropic etching of the anti-reflection layer 56 which is not covered by the photoresist and the second insulating layer 5 of about 2 0 0 ~ 2 5 0 0 Å, the photoresist will be removed. At this time, the metal wire channel 5 8 is

The next type may be metallic tungsten or metallic copper. The metal other than the wire trench 5 8 is an organic material, so a metal layer 59 will be photo-resisted on this wafer, and finally the metal dual damascene process will be removed by chemical mechanical polishing to remove the gold metal.
