PURPOSE: A method for fabricating a cylindrical capacitor of a semiconductor device is provided to reduce step coverage between hard mask patterns of a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region by performing an etch-back process for a hard mask pattern. CONSTITUTION: An etch stopper layer and a mold layer are formed on a semiconductor substrate(100) including a plug formed within a buried contact hole. A hard mask pattern is formed on the mold layer. A mold pattern and an etch stopper layer pattern(125a) are formed by etching the mold layer and the etch stopper layer. The step coverage between hard mask patterns is reduced by etching back the hard mask pattern. A conductive layer for capacitor bottom electrode is formed on an inner wall of the buried contact hole and a surface of the mold pattern. A sacrificial layer is formed between the buried contact hole and the mold pattern. A capacitor bottom electrode(133a) is formed by etching back the conductive layer. The mold pattern and the sacrificial layer are removed.

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of forming a pad without void in performing a self-align contact etch processing is provided to prevent an undercut and a void by forming passivation spacers. CONSTITUTION: A conductive pattern(18) made of a gate insulating layer(12), a gate electrode(14) and a capping layer(16) is formed on a substrate(10). Then, an interlayer dielectric is formed on the resultant structure. After mask pattern is formed on the interlayer dielectric, an interlayer dielectric pattern(22a) having a contact hole for the exposure of the substrate(10) is formed by a self-align contact etch of the interlayer dielectric using the mask pattern as an etch mask. Passivation spacers(32a) are formed on both sidewalls of the mask pattern and the interlayer dielectric pattern(22a), thereby preventing the undercut on the contact surface between the mask pattern and the interlayer dielectric pattern(22a). A conductive layer for pad is formed on the entire surface of the resultant structure so as to fill up the contact hole. At this time, no void is formed. A pad(34a) buried into the contact hole is formed by planarizing the conductive layer for pad.

PURPOSE: A formation method of an interlayer dielectric is provided to fill a gap between conductive lines without a void or a crack by a dry etch-back using a defined etching gas between a baking processing and a thermal treatment. CONSTITUTION: Conductive lines(106) layered with a conductive layer(102) and a hard mask(104) are formed on a substrate(100). Then, a SOG(Spin On Glass)(108) of a polysilazane system is deposited on the entire surface of the resultant structure. The SOG(108) is baked by two-step processing and is then etched to expose the upper surface of the conductive lines(106) with an etching gas. At this time, the etching gas composed of carbon and fluorine elements has over 0.5 in the ratio of C/F. A silicon oxide is formed by performing a thermal treatment on the residual SOG(108).

PURPOSE: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a contact hole is provided to prevent damage to a semiconductor substrate, by using a dry etch process and a wet etch process to eliminate an insulation layer in forming the contact hole penetrating the insulation layer on the semiconductor substrate. CONSTITUTION: A lower insulation layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate(101). An upper insulation layer is formed on the lower insulation layer. The upper insulation layer and the lower insulation layer are anisotropically etched to form a trench(119) which penetrates the upper insulation layer and has a depth shallower than the sum of the thickness of the lower insulation layer and the upper insulation layer. The lower insulation layer exposed by the trench is isotropically etched to form a contact hole of which the lower portion has a wider width than the upper portion.

PURPOSE: A method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor memory device is provided to reduce a maximum size of the contact hole, so that a short between the embedded contact and a neighbor conductive film is prevented. CONSTITUTION: According to the forming method, an etching process is performed to an insulation film(104) where a conductive film is formed by a mask of photoresist film pattern(112), so that a hole(114) whose depth is deeper than a width of the conductive film is formed. Next, A side-wall insulation film(116) is formed in the formed hole(114). Last, the hole(114) where the side-wall insulation film(116) is formed is etched deeply with a maximum depth, so that a contact hole(118) is formed. Thereby, the maximum size of the contact hole(118) can be reduced by the side-wall insulation film(116).

PURPOSE: The method is to settle electric short problem of capacitor and prevent falling off of uniformity of the capacitor. CONSTITUTION: On top of an aluminum film(100) acting as lower conductive film, a titanium nitride(102) and an interlayer insulation film(104) are formed. Then, mask layer is formed by use of photosensitive layer. Thereafter, the titanium nitride and interlayer insulation film are patterned by accomplishing etching process through the mask layer. In accomplishing etching process for patterning titanium nitride and interlayer insulation film formed on top of aluminum film, the etching method uses etching agent having high C4F8 and oxygen ratio to increase etching selection ratio between the titanium nitride and the interlayer insulation film. As a result, since titanium nitride remains on top of the aluminum film when etching is made, the problem of electric short of capacitor can be settled and uniformity of capacitance is improved.
