Method of forming unlanded via hole

摘要

An improved method of fabricating an unlanded via hole on a semiconductor substrate is provided. A conductive line and a patterned anti-reflection coating layer are sequentially formed on the substrate wherein the patterned anti-reflection coating layer has a smaller width than the conductive line and a portion of the conductive layer is exposed by the patterned anti-reflection coating layer. A planarized dielectric layer is formed over the substrate to cover the patterned anti-reflection coating layer and the conductive line. A via hole is formed in the planarized dielectric layer to expose portions of surface and sidewalls of the patterned anti-reflection coating layer as well as the conductive line.
