ABSTRACT:
A method of patterning a layer of reflective material, such as a layer of conductor metal, using a layer of antireflection coating material sandwiched between two layers of photoresist. A first layer of photoresist is formed on an integrated circuit wafer and provides a planar surface for subsequent layers of material. A layer of antireflection coating material is formed on the layer of first photoresist and a layer of second photoresist is formed on the layer of antireflection coating material. The layer of second photoresist is selectively exposed and developed. The layer of antireflection coating material is patterned using dry etching and the patterned layer of second photoresist as a mask. The layer of first photoresist is then patterned using dry etching and the patterned layer of antireflection coating material as a mask. The layer of reflecting material is then patterned using dry etching and the patterned layer of first photoresist as a mask. The patterned layer of first photoresist is then removed.
