摘要： The invention relates to a method for adjusting a micro-bar of an electron microscope to increase the accuracy of the micro-bar. The method entails first forming a photo-resist layer on a semiconductor wafer, and exposing a predetermined region of the photo-resist layer to a light of a specific wavelength. Then, a resist stripping process is performed to remove the photo-resist layer in the predetermined region. The periphery of the predetermined region of the photo-resist layer will form a vertical side wall with a periodic wave shape similar to a sine wave, and the wavelength of the periodic wave shape is determined by the wavelength of the light and the refraction rate of the photo-resist layer. Finally, the micro-bar of the electron microscope is adjusted using the wavelength of the periodic wave shape on the vertical side wall.

摘要： A dual damascene process involves forming a first passivation layer, a first dielectric layer and a second passivation layer on a substrate of a semiconductor wafer. A first lithography and etching process is performed to form at least one via hole in the second passivation layer and the first dielectric layer. Thereafter, a second dielectric layer and a third passivation layer are formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer followed by performing a second lithography and etching process to form at least one trench in the third passivation layer and the second dielectric layer. The trench and the via hole together construct a dual damascene structure. Finally, a barrier layer and a metal layer are formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer, and a chemical-mechanical-polishing (CMP) process is performed to complete the dual damascene process.
