同時製作晶胞區與周邊區之半導體元件的方法 Method of simultaneously fabricating semiconductor elements of a cell region and a peripheral region

本發明是有關於一種半導體製程,且特別是有關於一種同時製作晶胞區與周邊區之半導體元件的方法。 This invention relates to a semiconductor process, and more particularly to a method of simultaneously fabricating semiconductor elements in a cell region and a peripheral region.

隨著半導體元件發展到奈米世代後,面臨到的困難愈來愈多,譬如隨著線寬縮小、線路密度增加等情況,在圖案精確度與製程控制方面都有嚴峻的考驗。 With the development of semiconductor components to the generation of nanometers, there are more and more difficulties, such as the line width reduction, line density increase, etc., in the pattern accuracy and process control have a severe test.

舉例來說,在製作閘極結構時,一般是以閘氧化層為蝕刻終止層。而且,蝕刻製程通常先考慮元件輪廓是否與設計相符,所以當晶胞區與周邊區同時製作,往往會因過度蝕刻導致閘氧化層損傷的風險增加。 For example, when fabricating a gate structure, the gate oxide layer is generally used as an etch stop layer. Moreover, the etching process usually first considers whether the component profile is consistent with the design, so when the cell region is fabricated simultaneously with the peripheral region, the risk of damage to the gate oxide layer is often increased due to over-etching.

此外,隨著電晶體閘極長度的縮減,要提高電路速度的最簡單的方法是縮小的閘氧化層厚度;抑或晶片需要三閘極氧化層(triple gate oxide)來折衷元件性能和電路消耗。然而,這些周邊 區內的極薄氧化層在製程期間同樣有被損害的嚴重風險。 In addition, as transistor gate lengths are reduced, the easiest way to increase circuit speed is to reduce the gate oxide thickness; or the wafer requires a triple gate oxide to compromise component performance and circuit consumption.

請參照圖1A,提供一基底100,且基底100具有晶胞區10與周邊區20。在本實施例的基底100中還有電容器區30。雖然圖中的晶胞區10、周邊區20和電容器區30都只有一個,但是本發明並不限於此。然後,在基底100上依序形成閘氧化層102、第一導體結構層104、閘間介電層106與第二導體結構層108。第一導體結構層104例如是由鎢、鋁、銅、多晶矽或其他適合的材料構成的單層或雙層結構。閘間介電層106則例如ONO層、高介電材料或其他適合的介電層。第二導體結構層108例如是由磊晶層、多晶矽層、金屬層等構成的單層或雙層結構。在本實施例中,周邊區20和電容器區30內的第一導體結構層104形成後,會先進行元件隔離結構110(如STI)的製作,再繼續形成上述閘間介電層106與第二導體結構層108。 Referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 100 is provided, and the substrate 100 has a cell region 10 and a peripheral region 20. There is also a capacitor region 30 in the substrate 100 of the present embodiment. Although there is only one of the cell region 10, the peripheral region 20, and the capacitor region 30 in the drawing, the present invention is not limited thereto. Then, a gate oxide layer 102, a first conductor structure layer 104, an inter-gate dielectric layer 106, and a second conductor structure layer 108 are sequentially formed on the substrate 100. The first conductor structure layer 104 is, for example, a single layer or a double layer structure composed of tungsten, aluminum, copper, polysilicon or other suitable material. The inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is, for example, an ONO layer, a high dielectric material, or other suitable dielectric layer. The second conductor structure layer 108 is, for example, a single layer or a double layer structure composed of an epitaxial layer, a polysilicon layer, a metal layer or the like. In this embodiment, after the formation of the first conductor structure layer 104 in the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30, the fabrication of the device isolation structure 110 (such as STI) is performed first, and then the dielectric layer 106 and the gate dielectric layer are further formed. Two conductor structure layer 108.

然後,請參照圖1B,為了在第二導體結構層108上形成罩幕結構,可以採用一般的製程製作蝕刻所需的圖案罩幕,或者配合奈米世代之半導體元件,進行以下的步驟。首先,可在第二導體結構層108上形成蓋層112,其中蓋層112例如氧化矽層、氮化矽層、或多晶矽層。然後,需在晶胞區10與周邊區20的蓋層112上分別形成不同的圖案罩幕層,所以可先在蓋層112上全面性地形成第一材料層114,其中第一材料層114的材料是與蓋層112的材料之間具有較大的蝕刻選擇比,以利後續各階段的蝕刻製程 進行,所以當蓋層112是氧化矽層時,第一材料層114可選擇像是多晶矽這類的材料。然後,在晶胞區10的第一材料層114上利用第一道光罩製程形成均勻分布的多條犧牲層116。在本實施例中,是先將原始光罩資料中之晶胞區10內屬於密集區域的選擇閘極移除,並在被移除區域及鄰近密集區域的空曠區域中加入相同線寬與相同間距的多個虛設圖案,以形成經修改的光罩資料。由於經修改的所述光罩於空曠區中加入虛設圖案,因此藉由經修改的光罩來定義上述犧牲層116時,可避免習知的鄰近周邊區20之線路的線寬受到其影響,而造成關鍵尺寸均勻度不佳的問題。如此一來,也可在不改變光罩數目的情況下,使得半導體元件如記憶體的字元線具有較佳的關鍵尺寸均勻度。 Then, referring to FIG. 1B, in order to form a mask structure on the second conductor structure layer 108, the pattern mask required for etching can be formed by a general process, or the following steps can be performed in conjunction with semiconductor components of the nano generation. First, a cap layer 112 may be formed on the second conductor structure layer 108, wherein the cap layer 112 is, for example, a hafnium oxide layer, a tantalum nitride layer, or a polysilicon layer. Then, different pattern mask layers are respectively formed on the cap layer 112 of the cell region 10 and the peripheral region 20, so that the first material layer 114 can be formed on the cap layer 112 in a comprehensive manner, wherein the first material layer 114 is formed. The material has a large etching selectivity ratio with the material of the cap layer 112 to facilitate the etching process in subsequent stages. This is done so that when the cap layer 112 is a hafnium oxide layer, the first material layer 114 may be selected from materials such as polysilicon. Then, a plurality of sacrificial layers 116 uniformly distributed are formed on the first material layer 114 of the cell region 10 by a first mask process. In this embodiment, the selection gates belonging to the dense region in the cell region 10 in the original mask data are first removed, and the same line width and the same are added in the removed region and the open region adjacent to the dense region. A plurality of dummy patterns of the pitch to form a modified reticle material. Since the modified reticle is added with a dummy pattern in the open area, when the sacrificial layer 116 is defined by the modified reticle, the line width of the conventional line adjacent to the peripheral area 20 can be prevented from being affected. And the problem of poor uniformity of key dimensions. In this way, the word line of the semiconductor component such as the memory can be made to have better critical dimension uniformity without changing the number of masks.

接著,請參照圖1C,在犧牲層116的側壁上形成間隙壁罩幕118a和118b,其中間隙壁罩幕118a和118b的材料例如氮化矽、氧化矽或多晶矽。在本實施例中,間隙壁罩幕118a對應於晶胞區10內的線路,而間隙壁罩幕118b是為了改善關鍵尺寸均勻度之虛設圖案。 Next, referring to FIG. 1C, spacer masks 118a and 118b are formed on the sidewalls of the sacrificial layer 116, wherein the spacer masks 118a and 118b are made of a material such as tantalum nitride, hafnium oxide or polysilicon. In the present embodiment, the spacer mask 118a corresponds to the line within the cell region 10, and the spacer mask 118b is a dummy pattern for improving the uniformity of critical dimensions.

然後,請參照圖1D,利用第二道光罩製程,在基底100上形成如光阻120之罩幕結構,並完全覆蓋周邊區20和電容器區30。由於間隙壁罩幕118a和118b不但會形成在犧牲層116的長邊,也會形成在犧牲層116的短邊,所以在利用光阻120為蝕刻罩幕去除間隙壁罩幕118b(即虛設圖案)時,可以同時去除犧牲層116的短邊上的間隙壁罩幕118a。 Then, referring to FIG. 1D, a mask structure such as a photoresist 120 is formed on the substrate 100 by a second mask process, and completely covers the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30. Since the spacer masks 118a and 118b are formed not only on the long side of the sacrificial layer 116 but also on the short side of the sacrificial layer 116, the spacer mask 118b (i.e., dummy pattern) is removed for the etching mask by the photoresist 120. At the same time, the spacer mask 118a on the short side of the sacrificial layer 116 can be simultaneously removed.

隨後,請參照圖1E,移除光阻120,再去除犧牲層116之後,未被移除的間隙壁罩幕118a就成為第一圖案罩幕層。接著,在基底100上全面性地形成第二材料層122並覆蓋間隙壁罩幕118a,其中第二材料層122的材料例如是光阻或旋塗碳(SOC;spin on carbon)。隨後,利用第三道光罩製程,在晶胞區10、周邊區20與電容器區30的第二材料層122上形成第二圖案罩幕層124,其可根據各區域所要形成的圖案作變化。 Subsequently, referring to FIG. 1E, after removing the photoresist 120 and removing the sacrificial layer 116, the unremoved spacer mask 118a becomes the first pattern mask layer. Next, a second material layer 122 is formed on the substrate 100 in a comprehensive manner and covers the spacer mask 118a, wherein the material of the second material layer 122 is, for example, photoresist or spin on carbon. Subsequently, a second pattern mask layer 124 is formed on the cell region 10, the peripheral region 20, and the second material layer 122 of the capacitor region 30 by a third mask process, which may vary depending on the pattern to be formed in each region.

然後,可利用圖1E中的第二圖案罩幕層124作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻第二材料層122,以使第二圖案罩幕層124的圖案轉移至第二材料層122並露出第一圖案罩幕層(即間隙壁罩幕118a)。如果第一圖案罩幕層的上方已有第二圖案罩幕層124覆蓋,則在這道蝕刻步驟後間隙壁罩幕118a並不會露出來。 Then, the second pattern mask layer 124 in FIG. 1E can be used as an etching mask to etch the second material layer 122 to transfer the pattern of the second pattern mask layer 124 to the second material layer 122 and expose the first pattern. The mask layer (ie, the spacer mask 118a). If the second pattern mask layer 124 is covered over the first pattern mask layer, the spacer mask 118a is not exposed after this etching step.

隨後,請參照圖1F,在利用圖1E之間隙壁罩幕118a與第二圖案罩幕層124作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻第一材料層114和蓋層112之後,會使間隙壁罩幕118a及第二材料層122的圖案轉移至第一材料層114與蓋層112,並露出第二導體結構層108。然後,利用被蝕刻過的蓋層112作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻去除第二導體結構層108,並以閘間介電層106作為蝕刻終止層。在蝕刻第二導體結構層108之後,可完全去除蓋層112以上的結構。在本實施例中,去除電容器區30的部分第二導體結構層108後能形成位在第一導體結構層104上方的兩條導體層,而露出兩條導體層之間的閘間介電層106。 Subsequently, referring to FIG. 1F, after the first material layer 114 and the cap layer 112 are etched by using the spacer mask 118a and the second pattern mask layer 124 of FIG. 1E as an etching mask, the spacer mask 118a and The pattern of the second material layer 122 is transferred to the first material layer 114 and the cap layer 112, and the second conductor structure layer 108 is exposed. Then, using the etched cap layer 112 as an etch mask, the second conductor structure layer 108 is etched away, and the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is used as an etch stop layer. After etching the second conductor structure layer 108, the structure above the cap layer 112 can be completely removed. In this embodiment, after removing a portion of the second conductor structure layer 108 of the capacitor region 30, two conductor layers positioned above the first conductor structure layer 104 can be formed to expose the inter-gate dielectric layer between the two conductor layers. 106.

接著,請參照圖1G,利用第四道光罩製程,在周邊區20與電容器區30形成覆蓋閘間介電層106的第一保護層126,並露出晶胞區10的閘間介電層106。之後,以閘氧化層102作為蝕刻終止層,蝕刻晶胞區10內露出的閘間介電層106與第一導體結構層104。因為周邊區20在此蝕刻過程中受到第一保護層126覆蓋,所以其內部的閘間介電層106與第一導體結構層104並不會同時被移除,所以跟習知一起蝕刻的製程相比,能大幅降低閘氧化層102損害風險。之後可對基底100進行離子植入製程128,以於晶胞區10的基底100內形成源極與汲極130。在本圖中雖然只有在晶胞區10繪示代表離子植入製程128的箭頭,但應知一般的離子植入製程是對整個基底100進行的。此外,即使在進行離子植入製程128之前就將第一保護層126去除,因為周邊區20與電容器區30內被植入的區域,不是會在後續步驟中移除,就是其本身並不受所植入的劑量影響,因此第一保護層126可以在離子植入製程128之前去除。 Next, referring to FIG. 1G, a first protective layer 126 covering the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is formed in the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30 by using a fourth mask process, and the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 of the cell region 10 is exposed. . Thereafter, the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 and the first conductor structure layer 104 exposed in the cell region 10 are etched using the gate oxide layer 102 as an etch stop layer. Because the peripheral region 20 is covered by the first protective layer 126 during the etching process, the internal inter-gate dielectric layer 106 and the first conductive structural layer 104 are not removed at the same time, so the process is etched together with the conventional one. In comparison, the risk of damage to the gate oxide layer 102 can be greatly reduced. The substrate 100 can then be subjected to an ion implantation process 128 to form source and drain electrodes 130 in the substrate 100 of the cell region 10. Although only the arrows representing the ion implantation process 128 are shown in the cell region 10 in this figure, it is understood that the general ion implantation process is performed on the entire substrate 100. In addition, the first protective layer 126 is removed even before the ion implantation process 128 is performed because the peripheral region 20 and the implanted region within the capacitor region 30 are not removed in subsequent steps, nor are they themselves The implanted dose affects, and thus the first protective layer 126 can be removed prior to the ion implantation process 128.

然後,請參照圖1H,去除第一保護層(圖1G的126)之後,利用第五道光罩製程,在晶胞區10形成覆蓋所有結構的第二保護層132,並露出周邊區20的閘間介電層106。此時,第二保護層132還可覆蓋電容器區30中的兩條導體層(即108)之間的閘間介電層106。然後,以閘氧化層102作為蝕刻終止層,蝕刻周邊區20內露出的閘間介電層106與第一導體結構層104。此時,周邊區20與電容器區30內的元件隔離結構110如有暴露出來,也有可能 一同被移除。 Then, referring to FIG. 1H, after removing the first protective layer (126 of FIG. 1G), a second protective layer 132 covering all structures is formed in the cell region 10 by using a fifth mask process, and the gate of the peripheral region 20 is exposed. Inter-dielectric layer 106. At this time, the second protective layer 132 may also cover the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 between the two conductor layers (ie, 108) in the capacitor region 30. Then, the gate inter-gate dielectric layer 106 and the first conductor structure layer 104 are exposed in the peripheral region 20 with the gate oxide layer 102 as an etch stop layer. At this time, it is also possible that the peripheral isolation region 20 and the element isolation structure 110 in the capacitor region 30 are exposed. Was removed together.

另外,在圖1H的步驟後可去除第二保護層132,並進行後續製程。 In addition, the second protective layer 132 may be removed after the step of FIG. 1H, and subsequent processes are performed.

A spacer mask 202 is formed on the sidewall of the sacrificial layer 200, wherein the material of the spacer mask 202 is, for example, tantalum nitride, hafnium oxide or polysilicon. In addition, a WL pick-up region 40 having an edge of the cell region 10 is shown in FIG. 2B-1, and the device isolation structure 110 is under the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 in this region, instead of the first A conductor structure layer 104.

接著,請參照圖2C-1和圖2C-2,其中圖2C-1是上視圖、圖2C-2是圖2C-1之II-II’線段。先將犧牲層200移除只剩下間隙壁罩幕202,再於基底100上全面性地形成第二材料層122並覆 蓋間隙壁罩幕202,然後利用第二道光罩製程,在第二材料層122上形成第二圖案罩幕層204,其與第一實施例的圖1E之差別在於電容器區30內的第二圖案罩幕層204的圖案。 Next, please refer to FIG. 2C-1 and FIG. 2C-2, wherein FIG. 2C-1 is a top view, and FIG. 2C-2 is a II-II' line segment of FIG. 2C-1.

The pattern of the mask layer 204 is patterned.

之後,請參照圖2D-1和圖2D-2,其中圖2D-1是上視圖、圖2D-2是圖2D-1之II-II’線段。在利用圖2C-1的第二圖案罩幕層204作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻第二材料層122,而使第二圖案罩幕層204的圖案轉移至第二材料層122並露出間隙壁罩幕202之後,再利用間隙壁罩幕202與第二圖案罩幕層204作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻第一材料層114與蓋層112,直到露出第二導體結構層108。然後,利用被蝕刻過的蓋層112作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻去除第二導體結構層108,並以閘間介電層106作為蝕刻終止層。在蝕刻第二導體結構層108之後,可完全去除蓋層112以上的結構。在本實施例中,去除電容器區30的部分第二導體結構層108後能形成位在第一導體結構層104上的單一個導體層。 Thereafter, please refer to FIG. 2D-1 and FIG. 2D-2, wherein FIG. 2D-1 is a top view, and FIG. 2D-2 is a II-II' line segment of FIG. 2D-1. Using the second pattern mask layer 204 of FIG. 2C-1 as an etch mask, the second material layer 122 is etched, and the pattern of the second pattern mask layer 204 is transferred to the second material layer 122 and the spacer mask is exposed. After 202, the first material layer 114 and the cap layer 112 are etched by using the spacer mask 202 and the second pattern mask layer 204 as an etch mask until the second conductor structure layer 108 is exposed. Then, using the etched cap layer 112 as an etch mask, the second conductor structure layer 108 is etched away, and the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is used as an etch stop layer. After etching the second conductor structure layer 108, the structure above the cap layer 112 can be completely removed.

接著,請參照圖2E,利用第三道光罩製程,在周邊區20與電容器區30形成覆蓋閘間介電層106的第一保護層206,並露出晶胞區10的閘間介電層106。然後,以閘氧化層102作為蝕刻終止層,蝕刻晶胞區10內露出的閘間介電層106與第一導體結構層104。之後可對基底100進行離子植入製程128,以於晶胞區10的基底100內形成源極與汲極130。在本圖中,雖然在進行離子植入製程128時有第一保護層206覆蓋周邊區20與電容器區30,但是本發明並不限於此。即使在進行離子植入製程128之前就將第 一保護層206去除,因為周邊區20與電容器區30內被植入的區域會在後續步驟中移除,所以並不影響半導體元件的操作與效能。所以第一保護層206可以在離子植入製程128之前去除。 Next, referring to FIG. 2E, a first protective layer 206 covering the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is formed in the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30 by using a third mask process, and the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 of the cell region 10 is exposed. . Then, the gate inter-gate dielectric layer 106 and the first conductor structure layer 104 are exposed in the cell region 10 with the gate oxide layer 102 as an etch stop layer. The substrate 100 can then be subjected to an ion implantation process 128 to form source and drain electrodes 130 in the substrate 100 of the cell region 10. In the figure, although the first protective layer 206 covers the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30 when the ion implantation process 128 is performed, the present invention is not limited thereto. Even before the ion implantation process 128 is performed A protective layer 206 is removed because the peripheral region 20 and the implanted region within the capacitor region 30 are removed in subsequent steps and do not affect the operation and performance of the semiconductor device. Therefore, the first protective layer 206 can be removed prior to the ion implantation process 128.

然後,請參照圖2F,也可在離子植入製程128之後去除圖2E的第一保護層206,並利用第四道光罩製程,在晶胞區10形成覆蓋所有結構的第二保護層208,並露出周邊區20與電容器區30內的閘間介電層106。然後,以閘氧化層102作為蝕刻終止層,蝕刻周邊區20內露出的閘間介電層106與第一導體結構層104。此時,周邊區20與電容器區30內的元件隔離結構110如有暴露出來,也會一同被移除。 Then, referring to FIG. 2F, the first protective layer 206 of FIG. 2E may be removed after the ion implantation process 128, and a second protective layer 208 covering all structures may be formed in the cell region 10 by using a fourth mask process. The inter-gate dielectric layer 106 in the peripheral region 20 and the capacitor region 30 is exposed.

After removing the second protective layer 208, a third protective layer 210 is additionally formed on the substrate 100 by a fifth mask process. The third protective layer 210 has an opening 212 above the second conductive structure layer 108 exposing the capacitor region 30. . Also, since the previously formed spacer mask (see 202 of FIG. 2C-1) is formed not only on the long side of the sacrificial layer 200 but also on the short side of the sacrificial layer 200, a portion of the second conductor structure layer 108 is formed. The short side portions are connected, so the third protective layer 210 may further include an opening that exposes the cap layer 112 in the word line extraction region 40.

然後,請參照圖2H-1和圖2H-2,其中圖2H-1是區域10、20、30的剖面圖、圖2H-2是區域40的剖面圖。在利用第三保護層210作為蝕刻罩幕,移除自開口212內露出的結構,並以閘間介電層106作為蝕刻終止層之後,電容器區30內的第二導體結構 層108會變成兩條導體層,而字元線提取區40內相連的第二導體結構層108也會被分開。 2H-1 and 2H-2, wherein FIG. 2H-1 is a cross-sectional view of the regions 10, 20, and 30, and FIG. 2H-2 is a cross-sectional view of the region 40. After the third protective layer 210 is used as an etch mask, the structure exposed from the opening 212 is removed, and after the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 is used as an etch stop layer, the second conductor structure in the capacitor region 30 Layer 108 will become two conductor layers, and the second conductor structure layer 108 connected within word line extraction region 40 will also be separated.

圖3A至圖3C是接續第二實施例的圖2F的另一種製造流程剖面圖。 3A to 3C are cross-sectional views showing another manufacturing process of Fig. 2F following the second embodiment.

請參照圖3A-1和圖3A-2,其中圖3A-1是上視圖、圖3A-2是圖3A-1之II-II’線段。在去除第二保護層(圖2F之208)後,在基底100上由第一導體結構層104、閘間介電層106、第二導體結構層108以及蓋層112所構成的數個堆疊結構的側壁上形成隔離間隙壁300。 3A-1 and 3A-2, wherein FIG. 3A-1 is a top view, and FIG. 3A-2 is a II-II' line segment of FIG. 3A-1. After removing the second protective layer (208 of FIG. 2F), a plurality of stacked structures composed of the first conductor structure layer 104, the inter-gate dielectric layer 106, the second conductor structure layer 108, and the cap layer 112 on the substrate 100 An isolation spacer 300 is formed on the sidewall.

然後,請參照圖3B-1和圖3B-2,其中圖3B-1是上視圖、圖3B-2是圖3B-1之II-II’線段。利用第五道光罩製程,在基底100上形成第三保護層302,這層第三保護層302具有露出電容器區30的第二導體結構層108上方的第一開口304與露出字元線提取區40內的第二導體結構層108相連部位上方的第二開口306。 3B-1 and 3B-2, wherein FIG. 3B-1 is a top view, and FIG. 3B-2 is a II-II' line segment of FIG. 3B-1. A third protective layer 302 is formed on the substrate 100 by a fifth mask process. The third protective layer 302 has a first opening 304 and an exposed word line extraction region over the second conductor structure layer 108 exposing the capacitor region 30. The second conductor structure layer 108 in 40 is connected to the second opening 306 above the portion.

繼而請參照圖3C,以圖3B-1中的第三保護層302作為蝕刻罩幕,蝕刻自第一與第二開口304和306內露出的結構,並以閘間介電層106作為蝕刻終止層之後,電容器區30內的第二導體結構層會變成兩條導體層而露出兩條導體層之間的閘間介電層106。同時,在字元線提取區40內相連的第二導體結構層108也會被切斷。由於第二開口306本來就是屬於製作半導體元件的既有光罩,所以第一開口304可與其整合,而省略一道額外的光罩製程。 Referring to FIG. 3C, the third protective layer 302 of FIG. 3B-1 is used as an etch mask to etch the structures exposed from the first and second openings 304 and 306, and is terminated by the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 as an etch. After the layer, the second conductor structure layer in capacitor region 30 becomes two conductor layers exposing the inter-gate dielectric layer 106 between the two conductor layers. At the same time, the second conductor structure layer 108 connected in the word line extraction region 40 is also cut. Since the second opening 306 is originally an existing reticle for fabricating the semiconductor component, the first opening 304 can be integrated therewith, omitting an additional reticle process.

綜上所述,本發明藉由分開進行晶胞區與周邊區內的蝕刻步驟,所以能準確控制周邊區的閘氧化層蝕刻量,而降低周邊區的氧化層損害風險。而且,能與晶胞區的製程一起整合而減少光罩製程。另外,利用實施例中的方式製作蝕刻罩幕,還具有改善關鍵尺寸均勻度的效果。 In summary, the present invention can accurately control the etching amount of the gate oxide layer in the peripheral region by separately performing the etching step in the cell region and the peripheral region, thereby reducing the risk of oxide damage in the peripheral region. Moreover, it can be integrated with the process of the cell region to reduce the mask process. In addition, the etching mask is produced by the method of the embodiment, and has an effect of improving the uniformity of the critical dimensions.
