Problems solved by technology

However, as long as the organic bottom anti-reflective coating layer is etched by oxygen-containing plasma, even if the lateral etching rate of the photoresist pattern is small, it will maintain a certain ratio, and the excessive consumption of the organic photoresist pattern will cause The deviation (Bias) of Etching Critical Dimension (ECD) makes it difficult to grasp the error of the critical dimension of line width

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The invention provides a kind of plasma etching gas for etching the organic bottom anti-reflection coating layer, which is to partially replace the halothane gas (C x h y f z ) as the main etching gas, because part of the replacement of halothane gas can generate halothane polymer on the sidewall of the photoresist pattern to protect the sidewall of the photoresist pattern from lateral etching, so that the gap between the patterns will not become larger and affect the etching critical size. The auxiliary gases used include chlorine, nitrogen, partially substituted halothane gases (for example: methane fluoride (CH 3 F), difluoromethane (CH 2 f 2 ) etc.) or fully substituted fluorine gas (for example: carbon tetrafluoride (CF 4 ), carbon hexafluoride (C 2 f 6 ), three carbon octafluoride (C 3 f 8 ) or tetracarbon octafluoride (C 4 f 8 )Wait).

Abstract

The etching method of the present invention is that after material layer, anti-reflecting base organic coating layer and photoresist pattern are formed successively on the substrate, etching plasma gas including at least partially substituted halothane gas is used to etch the anti-reflecting base organic coating layer. During the etching, halothane polymer is formed on the side wall of the photoresist pattern to prevent the side wall from being etched.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing method, and in particular to an organic bottom anti-reflective coating (Bottom Anti-Reflective Coating, BARC) etching method. Background technique [0002] Photolithography can be said to be one of the most important steps in the entire semiconductor process. Everything related to the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device structure, such as the pattern (Pattern) and doped (Dopants) regions of each layer of thin film, is determined by the lithography process. With the increasing integration of integrated circuits, the area of ​​semiconductor elements is gradually reduced, the line width of circuit design is also relatively reduced, and the difficulty of lithography is getting higher and higher. Therefore, before forming the photoresist layer, usually the desired A bottom anti-reflection coating layer (Bottom Anti-Reflection Coating Layer, BARC) is first formed on the etched material layer....
