Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a dielectric material layer in a semiconductor, and more particularly to a method for improving the adhesion between dielectric layers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In today's semiconductor manufacturing technology, the dielectric material layer is usually used as an insulating layer between conductive layers and is used to protect the integrated circuit underneath, and the structure is protected from pollution. The commonly used dielectric material is silicon dioxide. As the pitch of the conductive elements decreases, a dielectric material of the same or different composition is used as an adjacent dielectric layer, or a dielectric material of a low dielectric constant (Low dielectric constant) material whose dielectric constant is lower than that of silicon dioxide. Layers to maintain the function of circuit elements has become an inevitable trend. A material is formed next to the first dielectric material layer as an adjacent dielectric material layer. When the facts are superimposed, when the change between the two is concave or convex, it will also cause peeling off due to the lack of the upper and lower layers, and external forces such as cutting, and the manufacturing of the upper and lower layers because of the tackiness and non-stickiness. When a semiconductor manufacturing process uses a dielectric layer of the same or different composition, the manufacturing steps are usually to cover the second dielectric-dielectric material layer so as to completely cover it. When two material layers of different composition are stressed by each other, the adhesive force is greater than the adhesive force. At the same time, the underlying material will be shaped, even if the upper and lower layers are made of different dielectric materials, the leakage current due to adhesive force will also occur. In addition, when the wafer is affected by the temperature change in the process, it will also cause sufficient peeling. Therefore, the
