    摘要: A dual damascene process involves forming a first passivation layer, a first dielectric layer and a second passivation layer on a substrate of a semiconductor wafer. A first lithography and etching process is performed to form at least one via hole in the second passivation layer and the first dielectric layer. Thereafter, a second dielectric layer and a third passivation layer are formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer followed by performing a second lithography and etching process to form at least one trench in the third passivation layer and the second dielectric layer. The trench and the via hole together construct a dual damascene structure. Finally, a barrier layer and a metal layer are formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer, and a chemical-mechanical-polishing (CMP) process is performed to complete the dual damascene process.

    摘要: A method of forming a dual damascene structure. A substrate having a conductive layer thereon is provided. A passivation layer, a first dielectric layer, an etching stop layer, a second dielectric layer and cap layer serving as a base anti-reflection coating are sequentially formed over the substrate. The cap layer and the second dielectric layer are patterned to form a first opening that exposes a portion of the etching stop layer. A patterned negative photoresist layer having a second opening therein is formed above the cap layer. The cap layer exposed by the second opening and the second dielectric layer exposed by the first opening are removed. Thereafter, the second dielectric layer exposed by the second opening is removed to form a trench and the first dielectric layer exposed by the first opening is removed to form a via opening. The passivation layer exposed by via opening and then the negative photoresist layer is removed. A conformal barrier layer and a conductive layer are sequentially formed over the trench and the via opening with the conductive layer, completely filling the trench and the via opening.

    摘要: Embodiments of EUV photomasks and methods for forming a EUV photomask are provided. The method comprises providing a substrate, a reflective layer, a capping layer, a hard mask layer, and forming an opening therein. An absorber layer is then filled in the opening and over the top surface of the hard mask layer. A planarizing process is provided to remove the absorber layer above the top surface of the hard mask layer and form an absorber in the opening, wherein the absorber is substantially co-planar with the top surface of the hard mask layer.
