Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving a through-hole layer technical window. First of all, an area with low figure density is sought on an a through-hole layer layout, a redundancy through-hole figure is added to an empty area unaffecting actual circuit design, then, a through hole upper-layer metal layer figure is photoetched and etched, the through hole upper-layer metal layer figure is transferred to a hard mask layer, a through-hole figure is photoetched and etched, the through-hole figure is transferred to a dielectric layer, the redundancy through-hole figure is blocked from transfer to the dielectric layer by use of the hard mask layer, and finally, the through-hole figure and the metal-layer figure are transferred to a silicon chip through one-time etching. According to the invention, through adding the redundancy through-hole figure into a low-density area of the through-hole figure, the analyzing capability of the through-hole figure is enhanced, the technical window of the through-hole figure is improved, and the added redundancy figure does not affect an actual circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and more specifically, to a method for improving the process window of a via layer. Background technique [0002] With the continuous shrinking of the interconnect size, the critical dimension of the pattern has gradually reached the limit of the single photolithography technology, and the process window of the photolithography is getting smaller and smaller. For example, in the process of forming the dual damascene structure, in order to obtain the size of the through hole conforming to the design rules, a self-aligned through hole process is usually used to form the through hole layer. In the self-aligned via process, the size of the via is not determined by the layout design size of the via, but by the line width of the upper metal layer connected to the via. In other words, in order to obtain a larger through-hole lithography process window, the lithographic critical dimension of the ...
