摘要： A method and system of determining a localized measure of regional pattern density in a fabrication process of a chip are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes determining pattern density values for each cell of a plurality of cells of interest; averaging the pattern density values for each cell within a first selected region about a target cell to determine the localized measure of regional pattern density for the target cell; storing the localized measure of regional pattern density for the target cell; and repeating the averaging and the storing for each of the plurality of cells. The simplification of data allows for a localized measure of regional pattern density determination in much less time than conventional techniques.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide a method, structure, service, etc. for variable overlap of dummy shapes for improved rapid thermal anneal uniformity. A method of providing uniform temperatures across a limited region of a wafer during a rapid thermal anneal process comprises determining a first reflectivity in a first portion of the limited region by measuring a density of first structures in the first portion. Next, the method determines a second reflectivity in a second portion of the limited region by measuring a density of second structures in the second portion. Specifically, the first structures comprise diffusion fill shapes and polysilicon conductor fill shapes (non-active dummy structures); and, the second structures comprise active circuit structures.

摘要： A semiconductor fabrication process for forming borderless contacts (130, 170, 172) using a removable mandrel (110). The process involves depositing a mandrel on an underlying barrier layer (100) designed to protect underlying structures (40) formed on a substrate (24). The mandrel is made from a material that will etch at a faster rate than the barrier layer so as to permit the formation of openings in the mandrel to be stopped on the barrier layer without penetrating such layer. After depositing a contact (130) in a first opening (120) formed in the mandrel, a second opening (140) is formed and a second contact (170) is deposited therein. Thereafter, the mandrel is removed and replaced with a layer of solid dielectric material (180).

摘要： A method, system and program product for replacing isotropic hole shapes in a wiring layout with non-equiaxial hole shapes that are arranged in a direction of current flow, which increases current flow along the wire's longitudinal axis while decreasing current flow along the wire's transverse axis. One aspect of the invention includes a method including determining a direction of electrical current flow in a portion of a wiring layout; and placing at least one non-equiaxial hole shape within the portion of the wiring layout, wherein the non-equiaxial hole shape is arranged in the direction of electrical current flow. The invention accommodates the limitations of copper CMP within an automated tool without sacrificing the efficiency of a hand-tuned layout. The invention also includes a semiconductor device including at least one non-equiaxial hole shape.
