    Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on a substrate; forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer around the MTJ; forming an etch stop layer on the first IMD layer; forming a second IMD layer on the etch stop layer; forming a patterned hard mask on the second IMD layer; performing a first etching process to form a contact hole in the second IMD layer for exposing the etch stop layer; performing a second etching process to remove the patterned hard mask; performing a third etching process to remove the etch stop layer and the first IMD layer for exposing the MTJ; and forming a metal interconnection in the contact hole.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: providing a first dielectric layer having a metal layer therein; forming a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer and the metal layer; forming a metal oxide layer on the second dielectric layer; performing a first etching process by using a chlorine-based etchant to remove part of the metal oxide layer to forma via opening and expose the second dielectric layer; forming a block layer on sidewalls of the metal oxide layer and a top surface of the second dielectric layer; and performing a second etching process by using a fluorine-based etchant to remove part of the block layer and part of the second dielectric layer for exposing a top surface of the metal layer.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure having an opening is provided. First, a substrate is provided, wherein a first region and a second region are defined on the substrate and an overlapping area of the first region and the second region is defined as a third region. A pattern density of the first region is substantially greater than that of the second region. Then, a material layer is formed on the substrate. A first hard mask and a second hard mask are formed on the material layer. The first hard mask in the first region is removed to form a patterned first hard mask. The second hard mask in the third region is removed to form a patterned second hard mask. Lastly, the material layer is patterned by using the patterned second hard mask layer as a mask to form at least an opening in the third region only.

    Abstract translation: 提供一种形成具有开口的半导体结构的方法。 首先,提供衬底,其中在衬底上限定第一区域和第二区域,并且将第一区域和第二区域的重叠区域定义为第三区域。 第一区域的图案密度基本上大于第二区域的图案密度。 然后,在基板上形成材料层。 第一硬掩模和第二硬掩模形成在材料层上。 第一区域中的第一硬掩模被去除以形成图案化的第一硬掩模。 去除第三区域中的第二硬掩模以形成图案化的第二硬掩模。 最后,通过使用图案化的第二硬掩模层作为掩模来对材料层进行图案化,以仅在第三区域中形成至少一个开口。
