The groove-shaped openings 42a for the contact layers 48a to be buried in can be formed without failure. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a semiconductor device which can realize the micronization without reliability decrease and fabrication yield decrease.

摘要:
A double exposure process is performed using a halftone phase shift mask (11) including gate patterns (1), assist patterns (2a) and (2b) with different resoluble line widths, and an assist pattern (2c) with a line width equal to or smaller than a resolution limit which are respectively inserted into portions in each of which a distance between the gate patterns (1) is large, and a Levenson phase shift mask (11) including shifter patterns (3) corresponding to the gate patterns (1) of the photomask 11. On this occasion, the assist patterns (2a), (2b), and (2c) are erased and only the gate patterns (1) are transferred. Consequently, when patterns are transferred by the double exposure process, a common depth of focus of the patterns is improved and highly uniform line widths are realized, which makes it possible to manufacture a highly reliable semiconductor device.

摘要:
A method for creating a pattern on a photomask includes steps of recognizing a space between main patterns by using pattern data which indicate the main patterns to be adjacently transferred onto a wafer, determining a 1st rule about arrangement of an assist pattern on the photomask, the assist pattern being adjacent to the main patterns and not being transferred onto the wafer, estimating a depth of focus in the presence of the assist pattern among the main patterns, determining a 2nd rule about arrangement of the assist pattern on the photomask to improve the depth of focus in the presence of the 1st assist pattern among the main patterns in a group having one or more number of appearance times of the space between main patterns, and correcting the assist pattern on the photomask using the assist pattern data on the basis of the 2nd rule.
摘要:
A resist pattern of a resist film is formed by exposing the resist film using a gate electrode forming mask (a Levenson phase shift mask), and developing the resist film. An antireflection film is etched using the resist pattern as an etching mask, and the resist pattern and the antireflection film are trimmed. The manner of this trimming is not to etch a hard mask made of an inorganic material, but to etch the resist pattern and the antireflection film made of an organic material. Since a region consistent with a wiring pattern of the hard mask is covered by the resist pattern completely, breaking down and retraction of the wiring are prevented.
