Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a FinFET and a manufacturing method of a contact. The manufacturing method comprises steps of: sequentially generating an interlayer dielectric layer, a metal hard mask, an oxide protective cap and a tri-layer mask on a gate to form a device to be etched; photoetching the tri-layer mask to remove photoresist in a non-patterned area; performing main etch on the device to be etched after the photoetching to remove the interlayer dielectric layer in the area that is not covered by the metal hard mask, and the metal hard mask is provided with the oxide protective cap; performing ODL removal on the device to be etched after the main etch to remove remaining part of the tri-layer mask; performing oxide etch on the device to be etched after the ODL removal to remove the oxide protective cap; and generating the contact on the device after the oxide etch. The present disclosure can accurately control the critical dimensions of the contact in an X direction and a Y direction.
