Below, describe with reference to Fig. 4~6 pair the 2nd execution mode.Fig. 4 is the part of schematically amplifying the related substrate of expression the 2nd execution mode, the figure that represents the operation of the 2nd execution mode, and Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the operation of expression the 2nd execution mode.At the 2nd execution mode, shown in Fig. 4 (c), form in the operation (step 403 of Fig. 5) at the 2nd mask material layer, the state that exposes with the top in boundary layer 106 forms the 2nd mask material layer 107.Therefore, do not comprise that or not 2nd mask material that is equivalent in the above-mentioned execution mode removes the operation of operation (step 204 of Fig. 2).So, for the state that exposes with the top in boundary layer 106 forms the 2nd mask material layer 107, can be by selecting their material (for example different material of polarity), make boundary layer 106 relative the 2nd mask materials be stained with lubricant nature lower, the 2nd aqueous mask material be coated in boundary layer 106 first-class methods realize.
In addition, for other operation, since identical with above-mentioned execution mode, so omit the explanation of its repetition.The 2nd execution mode can play the effect same with above-mentioned execution mode, and, as mentioned above, remove operation owing to can omit the 2nd mask material, so can also simplify working process.
Fig. 6 is the figure of manufacturing installation structure of the semiconductor device of the expression pattern formation method that is used to carry out the 2nd execution mode.As shown in the drawing, the manufacturing installation 300a of semiconductor device comprises: the 1st pattern formation portion 301; Boundary layer formation portion 302; The 2nd mask material layer formation portion 303; Boundary layer etched part 305; Finishing portion 306.In addition, above-mentioned each one is by being used to carry the substrate transport path 310 of substrates such as wafer to connect.That is, the manufacturing installation 300a of this semiconductor device compares with the manufacturing installation 300 of semiconductor device shown in Figure 3, and it is different only not comprise that the 2nd mask material is removed portion's 304 these points.Utilize the manufacturing installation 300a of the semiconductor device that constitutes like this, can carry out a succession of operation in above-mentioned the 2nd execution mode.
The repeat patterns of the thin space of Xing Chenging for example, can be used on semiconductor devices such as NAND type flash memories as described above.As the method for the repeat patterns that forms thin space as described above, former people are known for example to be the method for so-called side wall spacers transfer graphicization.
As shown in Figure 9, this side wall spacers transfer graphic technology is to go up the film 602 that becomes mask at the side wall portion (sidewall) of the 1st pattern 601 that forms with the photo-mask process that has used photoresist, remove the 1st pattern 601 of initial formation, form 2 patterns by 1 pattern thus and form the pattern of thin space.
In this occasion, shown in Fig. 9 (a), go up the pattern that forms at the side wall portion (sidewall) of the 1st pattern 601, forming ring-type on full week around the side wall portion.Therefore, shown in Fig. 9 (b), for remove ring do not need the part (end ring), carry out photo-mask process the 2nd time.And, from the state shown in Fig. 9 (c), remove the 1st pattern 601 afterwards, the pattern of side wall portion is used as mask.Therefore,, carry out photo-mask process the 3rd time, form patterns such as peripheral circuit when when forming pattern such as peripheral circuit around the repeat patterns as described above.
This reason is under the situation that forms the local patterns such as peripheral circuit that are connected with repeat patterns, repeat patterns is to go up the pattern that forms at the side wall portion (sidewall) of the 1st pattern 601 like that as mentioned above, so can not form the patterns such as peripheral circuit that are connected with repeat patterns at initial photo-mask process, and, the 2nd time photo-mask process is used to remove end ring, if not via this operation, then can not form the pattern that is connected with repeat patterns.
Relatively therewith, at above-mentioned execution mode, remain as the part of repeat patterns at last by a part that forms the 1st pattern 105 that photoresist that operation forms constitutes at the 1st pattern, so in the photo-mask process in the 1st pattern formation operation, can form the local patterns such as peripheral circuit that are connected with repeat patterns.
