  • Publication number: 20230077336
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a conducting path in a doped region, comprising: forming a dielectric layer on a semiconductor layer which includes the doped region; forming an opening in the dielectric layer; forming a side wall on sidewall of the opening; etching the semiconductor layer through the opening to form a conduction hole extending to the doped region; filling the conduction hole with conductive material to form a conducting path, wherein the side wall reduces a transverse dimension of the conducting path. According to the method for manufacturing the conducting path in the doped region in the present disclosure, by forming the side wall on sidewall of the opening in the dielectric layer, the transverse dimension of the opening in the dielectric layer is reduced, thereby the semiconductor layer is etched with a narrower opening to obtain the conduction hole with a smaller size, device performance is improved.
