    摘要: A patterning method includes the following steps. A hard mask layer is formed on a substrate. Mandrels are formed on the hard mask layer. Mask patterns are formed on the mandrels. Each of the mask patterns is formed on one of the mandrels. Spacers are formed on the hard mask layer. Each of the spacers is formed on a sidewall of one of the mandrels and on a sidewall of one of the mask patterns. A cover layer covering the hard mask layer, the spacers and the mask patterns is formed. A planarization process is performed to remove the cover layer on the mask patterns and the spacer and remove the mask patterns. A part of the cover layer remains between the spacers after the planarization process. The mandrels and the cover layer are removed after the planarization process.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure is disclosed. A substrate is provided with a pad metal and a fuse metal formed thereon. A liner and an etching stop layer are formed at least covering a top surface of the fuse metal. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and a passivation layer is formed over the dielectric layer. A pad opening and a fuse opening are defined in the passivation layer. A first etching step is performed to remove the dielectric layer from the pad opening and the fuse opening to expose a top surface of the pad metal from the pad opening and an upper surface of the etching stop layer from the fuse opening respectively. A second etching step is performed to remove the etching stop layer from the fuse opening until an upper surface of the liner is exposed.
