example 1

[0045] A shallow trench isolation structure (STI) is formed on a substrate. Then, before the pre-processing process, the height, depth, and thickness of the gap wall of the shallow trench isolation structure on the substrate are measured, and then the temperature is 100 degrees Celsius. Hydrogen and nitrogen plasma up to 260 degrees was used for the pre-treatment process; then, the height and depth of the shallow trench isolation structure on the substrate and the thickness of the spacer were measured again. The results are shown in Table 1. Next, a patterned photoresist layer is formed, and an ion implantation process is performed using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form a doped region in the substrate. Then, ashing without carbon tetrafluoride and RCA cleaning solution without dilute hydrofluoric acid at room temperature is used to remove the patterned photoresist layer. The result is as follows image 3 Shown.

example 2

[0047] The method used in Example 2 is the same as that in Example 1, but the pre-treatment process is performed with oxygen plasma at 100°C to 260°C. The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 4 Shown.

[0048] Table 1

[0049]

[0050] The results in Table 1 show that the measurement results of various dimensions before and after the above-mentioned pre-treatment process are all within the measurement error range, indicating that the pre-treatment process will not affect the dimensions of each component on the surface of the MOS transistor. image 3 with Figure 4 The photo shows that there is no photoresist residue with the method of the present invention.

Abstract

The method carries out pre-processing procedure for substrate before photoresist layer is formed. The said pre-processing procedure is a plasma technical procedure for example. Being applicable to preparation of semiconductor element, the method prevents photoresist from cracking, maintains integrality of semiconductor element, and promotes rate for removing photoresist layer in use for ion implantation mask.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element, in particular to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element for improving the photoresist removal efficiency. Background technique [0002] Photolithography (Photolithography) process is one of the most important keys in the entire integrated circuit process. The photoresist layer used in the photolithography process must be completely removed after dry etching, wet etching, or ion implantation to avoid affecting subsequent processes. [0003] However, the characteristics of the photoresist often have different effects due to different processes. For example, in the ion implantation process, the surface of the photoresist is hardened due to the ion implantation process, making it difficult to remove the photoresist, and due to its surface hardening, during the ashing process, It is easy to cause popping of the photoresist. Generally speaking, in order to make the ph...
