Abstract

The invention discloses an etching method, comprising: providing a substrate with a dielectric layer which comprises an etching stopping layer and a middle dielectric layer on the etching stopping layer; using a first gas to carry out a first etching on the middle dielectric layer and stopping the etching in the middle dielectric layer; using a second gas to carry out a second etching on the etching stopping layer and the middle dielectric layer and stopping the second etching in the etching stopping layer; and using a third gas to carry out a third etching on the etching stopping layer after the second etching, wherein, the etching speed rate of the third gas on the etching stopping layer is larger than the etching speed rate of the second gas on the etching stopping layer, and the etching speed rate of the third gas on the middle dielectric layer is smaller than the etching speed rate of the second gas on the middle dielectric layer. The technical scheme of the invention uses different etching gases to selectively etch the dielectric layer, thus reducing the root sinking of the middle dielectric layer after etching.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to an etching method. Background technique [0002] VLSI usually requires more than one metal layer to provide sufficient interconnection capacity, so the interconnection between metal layers, the connection between the active area of ​​the device and the external circuit is through the via hole or trench filled with conductive material Realization, and in order to ensure the stability of the device, it is required that there is no electrical connection between the through hole or the trench, so it is very important to strictly control the etching process of the through hole. With increasing device density and process complexity, higher requirements are imposed on via and trench etching processes. [0003] At present, in semiconductor manufacturing, the traditional method of forming a contact hole is to etch the dielectric layer of the substrate, form a via hole...
