Abstract
The etching selectivity is controlled by appropriately changing the dimension of the opening of each contact holes in forming simultaneously a plurality of contact holes of different depth by etching. By forming a dent in advance underlying the region where a contact hole is to be formed, the depth of the contact hole can be increased, whereby difference in the depths of the plurality of contact holes can be reduced. As a result, damage in the underlying layer or under etching in forming a plurality of contact holes of different depth simultaneously by etching can be solved.
Claims9
A semiconductor device comprising:
- an interlayer insulating film formed between conductive layers,
- a first contact hole formed penetrating said interlayer insulating film for electrically connecting the conductive layers, and
- a second contact hole of a depth greater than that of said first contact hole, formed penetrating said interlayer insulating film for electrically connecting the conductive layers,
- wherein said second contact hole is formed to have a diameter smaller than that of said first contact hole and an inclining angle of an inner circumferential wall of said first contact hole is greater than that of said second contact hole.
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a first interlayer insulating film formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate and having a first dent of a predetermined diameter and depth formed at a predetermined position,
- a conductive interconnection layer formed on the surface of said first interlayer insulating film including an entire internal surface of said first dent so that a second dent is formed on an upper surface of the conductive interconnection layer covering said first dent,
- a second interlayer insulating film formed on said conductive interconnection layer,
- wherein a contact hole having a diameter smaller than that of said second dent is formed in a portion of said second interlayer insulating film covering the bottom of said second dent.
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a first interlayer insulating film formed expanding over a first region on a semiconductor substrate and on a second region higher than the first region from the surface of said semiconductor substrate and having a first dent of a predetermined diameter and depth formed in said second region,
- a conductive interconnection layer formed on said first interlayer insulating film including an entire surface of said first dent and having a second dent formed in an area of said conductive interconnection layer covering said first dent, and
- a second interlayer insulating film formed on said conductive interconnection layer,
- wherein a contact hole having a diameter smaller than that of said second dent is formed in a portion of said second interlayer insulating film covering the bottom of said second dent.
