AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing hard mask protected self-aligned miniaturization process (HSASP) is complex, costly, and difficult to achieve device structures with smaller linewidths in the process of replacing advanced processes.

Method used

By forming a mask reinforcement structure on the sidewall of the photoresist etching window, and using a plasma deposition etching machine and a dry etching machine, a polymer generated by a specific etching gas is used as the mask reinforcement structure to reduce the size of the etching window and achieve a smaller linewidth in a single etching operation.

Benefits of technology

It simplifies the process, reduces costs, improves production efficiency, and enables semiconductor structures smaller than the minimum linewidth of a lithography machine, thereby enhancing integration and performance.

Abstract

本发明涉及一种刻蚀方法、阶梯孔形成方法及圆台孔形成方法。所述刻蚀方法包括:获取待刻蚀结构;通过光刻在所述待刻蚀结构上形成露出了刻蚀窗口的光刻胶;在所述刻蚀窗口的侧壁形成掩模增筑结构;以所述光刻胶和掩模增筑结构为刻蚀掩模,对所述待刻蚀结构进行刻蚀。上述刻蚀方法,通过在光刻胶形成的刻蚀窗口侧壁形成掩模增筑结构,使刻蚀窗口的尺寸得到进一步缩小,因此缩小后的刻蚀窗口的尺寸可以小于光刻机光刻的最小线宽,从而得到小于光刻机光刻的最小线宽的半导体结构;同时上述刻蚀方法的工艺流程步骤少,成本较低且生产效率高。
