Description

A kind of channel hole etching technics using hard exposure mask
Technical field
The present invention relates to improve channel hole etching in field of semiconductor manufacture more particularly to a kind of 3D NAND flash memory structure The method of technique.
Background technique
With the development of plane flash memories, the production technology of semiconductor achieves huge progress.But recently Several years, the development of plane flash memory encountered various challenges: physics limit, the existing developing technique limit and storage electron density Limit etc..In this context, to solve the difficulty that encounters of planar flash memory and most ask being produced into for lower unit storage unit This, a variety of different three-dimensional (3D) flash memories structures are come into being, such as 3D NOR (3D or non-) flash memory and 3D NAND (3D and non-) flash memory.Currently, in the development process of 3D NAND, with the increase of stacking number, to preparations such as etching, depositions More stringent requirements are proposed for technique.
Wherein, for etch channel hole (Channel Hole), the prior art before etching, as shown in Figure 1, usual shape At following stacked structure:
O/N stack layer 1-1 is arranged in face on substrate, wherein deposits about above the sacrificial dielectric layer silicon nitride of top layer
