FIELDEmbodiments described herein relate generally to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device and a semiconductor device.
BACKGROUNDIn semiconductor devices, the space of a leading portion becomes wide compared with a wiring portion. Therefore, a micro-loading effect becomes high in the leading portion compared with the wiring portion, so that the line width in the leading portion becomes thinner than the line width in the wring portion in some cases.
In general, according to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device in embodiments, forming a first core pattern in a wiring portion on a process target film and forming a second core pattern, which is led out from the first core pattern and includes an opening, in a leading portion on the process target film, forming a sidewall pattern along an outer periphery of the first core pattern and the second core pattern and forming a sidewall dummy pattern along an inner periphery of the opening of the second core pattern, removing the first core pattern and the second core pattern, and processing the process target film to transfer the sidewall pattern and the sidewall dummy pattern are included.
A semiconductor device according to the embodiments will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
First EmbodimentIn
In the leading portion R2, leading lines 5b led out from the wires 5a of the wiring portion R1 can be formed. The pad portion R3 is provided at the tip end of this leading line 5b, and a pad electrode 5e connected to the leading lines 5b can be provided in the pad portion R3.
Then, core patterns 1a are formed in the wiring portion R1 and core patterns 1b and core dummy patterns 1c are formed in the leading portion R2. The core pattern 1a is connected to the core pattern 1b and an opening 1d is provided in the core pattern 1b. The core dummy pattern 1c is provided between the core patterns 1b. As the material of the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy patterns 1c, a resist material may be used or a hard mask material, such as a BSG film and a silicon nitride film, may be used.
The line width of the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy patterns 1c may be thinned by slimming the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy patterns 1c by a method such as isotropic etching.
Moreover, the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy pattern 1c do not necessarily need to be formed in the same process and the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy patterns 1c may be formed in different processes. Moreover, the same material does not necessarily need to be used for the core patterns 1a and 1b and the core dummy pattern 1c and different materials may be used. For example, a hard mask material may be used for the core patterns 1a and 1b and a resist material may be used for the core dummy pattern 1c. Moreover, the core pattern 1b and the opening 1d do not necessarily need to be formed in the same process and the core pattern 1b and the opening 1d may be formed in different processes. For example, after forming the core pattern 1b, the opening 1d may be formed in the core pattern 1b.

Moreover, in the leading portion R2 on the base layer 4, dummy leading lines 5c, on which the sidewall dummy patterns 2c are transferred, are formed in parallel with the leading lines 5b and dummy leading lines 5d, on which the sidewall dummy patterns 2d are transferred, are formed in parallel with the leading lines 5b.
The dummy leading lines 5c and 5d can be arranged such that the interval between the leading line 5b and the dummy leading lines 5c and 5d in the leading portion R2 becomes approximately equal to the interval between the wires 5a in the wiring portion R1. For example, when the line & space of the wires 5a in the wiring portion R1 is set to 1:1, the dummy leading lines 5c and 5d can be arranged such that the line & space around the leading lines 5b in the leading portion R2 becomes 1:1.
Consequently, even when the space of the leading portion R2 is wide compared with the wiring portion R1 and the pitch of the leading lines 5b of the leading portion R2 is larger than the wires 5a of the wiring portion R1, the line & space around the leading lines 5b of the leading portion R2 can be made approximately equal to the line & space of the wires 5a of the wiring portion R1. Therefore, the micro-loading effect around the leading lines 5b of the leading portion R2 can be reduced, so that the line width of the leading lines 5b of the leading portion R2 can be made equal to the wires 5a of the wiring portion R1.
Next, as shown in
In the above embodiment, the method of processing the process target film 5 with the sidewall patterns 2a and 2b and the sidewall dummy patterns 2c and 2d as a mask is explained, however, it is possible to form a hard mask pattern on the process target film 5 by forming the sidewall patterns 2a and 2b and the sidewall dummy patterns 2c and 2d after forming a hard mask layer on the process target film 5 and processing the hard mask layer with the sidewall patterns 2a and 2b and the sidewall dummy patterns 2c and 2d as a mask and processes the process target film 5 with the hard mask pattern as a mask. At this time, the loop cut portion 3 may be formed in the hard mask pattern on the process target film 5 instead of forming the loop cut portion 3 in the processed process target film 5.
Moreover, for forming the pad electrode 5e, the above embodiment explains the method of leaving part of the core pattern 1b in the pad portion R3 by forming a resist pattern covering part of the core pattern 1b after the process in

Consequently, even when the space of the leading portion R12 is wide compared with the wiring portion R11 and the pitch of the leading lines 15b of the leading portion R12 is larger than the wires 15a of the wiring portion R11, the micro-loading effect around the leading lines 15b of the leading portion R12 can be reduced, so that the line width of the leading lines 15b of the leading portion R12 can be made equal to the wires 15a of the wiring portion R11.

The dummy leading lines 25d can be arranged such that the interval between the leading line 25b and the dummy leading line 25d in the leading portion R22 becomes approximately equal to the interval between the wires 25a in the wiring portion R21.
