    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor device, comprising: first, a target layer is provided, an etching stop layer is formed on the target layer, afterwards, a first photoresist layer is formed on the etching stop layer, and a first etching process is then performed, to forma plurality of first trenches in the etching stop layer. Next, a second photoresist layer is formed on the etching stop layer, portion of the second photoresist layer fills in each first trench, a second etching process is then performed to form a plurality of second trenches in the etching stop layer, and using the remaining etching stop layer as a hard mask, a third etching process is performed to remove parts of the target layer.

    Abstract: A method of copper hillock detecting includes the following steps. A testkey structure is disposed on a substrate, wherein the testkey structure includes a lower metallization layer, an upper metallization layer, and a dielectric layer between the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer. A force voltage difference is applied to the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer under a test temperature and stress time. A changed sensing voltage difference to the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer is detected for detecting copper hillock.
