Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a through hole etching method and a through hole mask. Background technique
[0002] With the continuous shrinking of the critical dimension of semiconductor devices, in order to form a resist layer pattern with a smaller critical dimension in the photolithography process, only using a shorter-wavelength exposure light source can no longer meet the actual needs. In recent years, the industry generally reduces the size of the pattern by adding some kind of processing after the resist layer pattern is formed. Specifically, in order to obtain via holes with smaller sizes, it is necessary to reduce the size of the via holes formed on the resist layer.
[0003] Usually, a melting process can be used to reduce the size of the via. The melting process is a process of forming a contact hole pattern on the resist layer and then heat-treating the semiconductor substra...
