ABSTRACT:
A new method of forming a contact opening by using a sacrificial spin-on-glass layer is described. A semiconductor substrate is provided wherein the surface of the substrate has an uneven topography. A glasseous layer is deposited over the uneven surface of the substrate and reflowed at low temperature whereby the glasseous layer will have a trench shaped surface over the planned contact opening area. The glasseous layer is covered with a spin-on-glass layer wherein the spin-on-glass planarizes the surface of the substrate. The spin-on-glass layer is baked and then covered with a uniform thickness layer of photoresist. The photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form the desired photoresist mask for the contact opening. The exposed spin-on-glass and glasseous layers are etched away to provide the contact opening to the semiconductor substrate. The photoresist layer is stripped and the sacrificial spin-on-glass layer is removed to complete the formation of the contact opening in the manufacture of the integrated circuit.
