Abstract
A manufacturing method of a dual damascene structure is provided. First, a barrier layer, a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, a cap layer, a metal-containing hard mask layer, a dielectric hard mask layer, a first bottom anti-reflection coating (BARC) layer and a first photoresist layer are sequentially formed over the substrate. Next, the patterned first photoresist layer is used as a mask during an etch process to form a first trench structure. A second BARC layer is formed to fill the first trench structure and to cover the surface of the dielectric hard mask layer. A second photoresist layer is formed over the second BARC layer. The patterned second photoresist layer is used as a mask during an etch process to form a first via structure. The first trench structure and the first via structure are etched to obtain a second trench structure and a second via structure.
