Abstract
A method of fabricating a contact hole and a fuse hole includes providing a dielectric layer. A conductive pad and a fuse are disposed within the dielectric layer. Then, a first mask is formed to cover the dielectric layer. Later, a first removing process is performed by taking the first mask as a mask to remove part the dielectric layer to form a first trench. The conductive pad is disposed directly under the first trench and does not expose through the first trench. Subsequently, the first mask is removed. After that, a second mask is formed to cover the dielectric layer. Then, a second removing process is performed to remove the dielectric layer directly under the first trench to form a contact hole and to remove the dielectric layer directly above the fuse by taking the second mask as a mask to form a fuse hole.
