Problems solved by technology

This method is difficult to realize the monitoring and control of the polymer in the process of etching, photoresist ashing and wet cleaning of the self-aligned contact hole process, even if the existing self-aligned contact can be realized. Polymer membrane monitoring and control at various stages of the pore process, also very costly

Abstract

The invention provides a fabrication method of a self-alignment contact hole. Monitoring and control on a polymer distribution condition are implemented in each stage of etching, photoresist removal by a dry method and cleaning by a wet method of a self-alignment contact hole process, the polymer distribution condition collected after a previous step is fed back to a process formula in a next step, so that relatively high removal rate / etching rate, favorable removal uniformity, controllable side-wall morphology and feature size of an opening and the contact hole and low damage to a lower film layer and the like in the next step are achieved, the process effect after the next step is greatly improved, the etching uniformity of the self-alignment contact hole can be further ensured, excessive polymer residue in the self-alignment contact hole in an edge region of a wafer is avoided, and the electrical property and the yield of a device are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for preparing a self-aligned contact hole. Background technique [0002] In the field of semiconductor technology, as the process node of semiconductor technology shrinks continuously, the size of the contact hole (CT) becomes smaller and smaller. Generally, for ordinary devices, self-aligned contact hole (SAC) technology is required when adopting the technology of the process node below 28nm; while for storage devices such as flash memory (Flash), when the technology of the process node below 45nm is used, it is necessary to use self-aligned contact hole (SAC) technology. Self-aligned contact (SAC) technology is adopted. The existing self-aligned contact hole process is usually as follows: After depositing a covering self-aligned contact barrier layer on the front-end device and its gate structure, a mask layer with a self-aligned contact pattern, such as a p...
