Abstract

A method for forming a contact window includes: a step of providing a substrate; a step of forming a patterned amorphous carbon layer or spin-on coating layer, in which a surface of the substrate is exposed at two sides of the amorphous carbon layer or spin-on coating layer; a step of forming an interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate; a step of removing a portion of the interlayer dielectric layer until the patterned amorphous carbon layer or spin-on coating layer is exposed; a step of removing the patterned amorphous carbon layer or spin-on coating layer to form an opening; and a step of filling the opening with a conductive material to form the contact window.
