Method of manufacturing integrated circuit
View Patent ↗In order to shorten the period for the development and manufacture of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, at the time of transferring integrated circuit patterns onto a wafer by an exposure process, a photomask PM 1 is used which is provided partially with light shielding patterns 3 a formed of a resist film, in addition to light shielding patterns formed of a metal.
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, comprising a step of transferring patterns onto a resist film formed on a main surface of a semiconductor wafer by a superimposed exposure process using a first photomask and a second photomask, the first photomask having a light shielding portion formed of a metal on a main surface of a first mask substrate, the second photomask having a light shielding portion formed of a resist film, on a main surface of a second mask substrate.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of removing the light shielding portion of the resist film in the second photomask and instead forming a new light shielding portion comprised of a resist film.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a pattern for the transfer of an information write pattern in memory is formed of the light shielding portion of the resist film in the second photomask.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a pattern for the transfer of a custom circuit pattern is formed of the light shielding portion comprised of the resist film in the second photomask.
