Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a hard mask stack structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique
[0002] As the integration of semiconductor devices continues to increase and the associated critical dimensions continue to decrease, the size of the vias in the interconnection (contact) and metal layer (metal) in the copper back-end interconnection process is also getting smaller and smaller. However, the aspect ratio remains the same or becomes larger, which makes the subsequent interconnection process more and more difficult. Especially in the process of 65nm and below, with the reduction of the thickness of the photoresist, the process difficulty of etching the via hole with only the photoresist as the barrier layer is getting higher and higher.
[0003] Therefore, a hard mask layer (Metal hard mask) is introduced to increase the selectivity ratio between the...
