Method for forming trench including a first and a second layer of photoresist
A method of fabricating trench is disclosed. A first inter-metal dielectrics (IMD) layer, a mask layer and a second IMD layer are formed sequentially on a semiconductor substrate. Afterwards, a first phototresist layer is formed on the second IMD layer. Thereafter, a photolithography and etching process are performed to transfer a photo mask pattern to form a first opening inside the IMD layer wherein the mask layer serves as an etching stop layer. Subsequently, a second phototresist layer is formed on the second IMD layer and inside the first opening sidewall. A portion of the second phototresist layer on the first IMD layer is removed, and simultaneously the mask layer and the first IMD layer is etched to form a second opening until the semiconductor substrate is exposed. Eventually, the first phototresist layer and the second phototresist layer are stripped simultaneously so as to form a trench having the first opening and the second opening.
