Abstract

The invention discloses an etching method for a mask layer. The mask layer at least comprises a middle mask layer and an organic matter mask layer; the mask layer is etched with a plasma dry process; and in an etching process, a plasma radiofrequency excitation voltage is applied to generate plasma. The etching of the mask layer comprises the following steps of: forming a patterned middle mask layer by taking a patterned photoresist layer as a middle mask layer below mask etching; and applying a pulse bias radiofrequency voltage, and forming a patterned organic matter mask layer by taking the patterned middle mask layer as an organic matter mask layer below mask etching, wherein the frequency of the plasma radiofrequency excitation voltage is higher than that of the pulse bias radiofrequency voltage. The invention further provides an etching device for the mask layer and an etching method for an interlayer dielectric layer. Due to the adoption of the technical scheme provided by the invention, an implementation condition is simple and cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to an etching method and an etching device for a mask layer. In addition, the invention also relates to an etching method for an interlayer dielectric layer. Background technique [0002] In the semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process, a semiconductor structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate through a series of processes, such as deposition, photolithography, etching, planarization and other processes. Wherein, a photolithography process is used to form a mask pattern to define a region to be etched. The etching process is used to transfer the pattern defined by lithography to the material (metal, dielectric layer or silicon) to form the desired structure. The pattern is transferred to the hard mask, and then the pattern is transferred to the material (metal, dielectric layer or silicon) using the patterned hard mask as a mask. [0003] The transfe...
