摘要： The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) that acts as an etch stop layer and does not need to be removed. In one embodiment, electrical devices are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Contacts are then formed for each electrical device and a partially UV transparent BARC is then deposited. An inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer is then formed and then covered with photoresist. A top ARC (TARC) is then added and the photoresist is then photolithographically processed and subsequently developed. The TARC, ILD, and BARC layers are then selectively etched down to the device contacts forming local interconnects. The photoresist and TARC are later removed, but the BARC does not require removal due to its optical transparency.

摘要： An insulated trench isolation structure with large and small trenches of differing widths is formed in a semiconductor substrate with improved planarity using a simplified reverse source/drain planarization mask. Embodiments include forming large trenches and refilling them with an insulating material which also covers the substrate surface, masking the areas above the large trenches, etching to remove substantially all of the insulating material on the substrate surface and polishing to planarize the insulating material above the large trenches. Small trenches and peripheral trenches surrounding the large trenches are then formed, refilled with insulating material, and planarized. Since the large trenches are formed prior to and separately from the small trenches, etching can be carried out after the formation of a relatively simple planarization mask over only the large trenches, and not the small trenches. The use of a planarization mask with relatively few features having a relatively large geometry avoids the need to create and implement a complex and critical mask, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and increasing production throughput. Furthermore, because the large and small trenches are not polished at the same time, overpolishing is avoided, thereby improving planarity and, hence, the accuracy of subsequent photolithographic processing.
摘要翻译：使用简化的反向源极/漏极平面化掩模，在具有改善的平面度的半导体衬底中形成具有不同宽度的大的和小的沟槽的绝缘沟槽隔离结构。实施例包括形成大沟槽并用也覆盖衬底表面的绝缘材料再填充它们，掩蔽大沟槽上方的区域，蚀刻以基本上除去衬底表面上的所有绝缘材料，并抛光以平坦化绝缘材料沟渠然后形成围绕大沟槽的小沟槽和外围沟槽，用绝缘材料重新填充并平坦化。由于在小沟槽之前和分开形成大沟槽，所以可以在仅在大沟槽上而不是小沟槽形成相对简单的平坦化掩模之后进行蚀刻。使用具有相对较大几何特征的平面化掩模的使用避免了创建和实现复杂和关键掩模的需要，从而降低制造成本并提高生产量。此外，因为大的和小的沟槽不同时被抛光，所以避免了过度抛光，从而提高平面度，从而提高随后的光刻处理的精度。

摘要： A method of forming a small contact hole uses a bright field mask to form a small cylinder in a positive resist layer. A negative resist layer is formed around the small cylinder, and then etched or polished back to leave a top portion of the small cylinder exposed above the negative resist layer. The negative resist layer and the small cylinder (positive resist) are flood exposed to light, and then subject to a developer. What remains is a small contact hole located where the small cylinder was previously located.

A structure is provided that has a silicon layer having a gate oxide layer, a protection layer over the gate oxide layer and a sacrificial layer over the protection layer. An opening is then formed in the sacrificial layer. A contact material is deposited over the sacrificial layer filling the opening with the contact material and forming a contact layer. Portions of the contact material outside a gate region are then removed. Finally, the sacrificial layer and portions of the protection layer and the gate oxide layer not forming a part of the T-gate structure are removed.

摘要： An insulated trench isolation structure with large and small trenches of differing widths is formed in a semiconductor substrate using a simplified reverse source/drain planarization mask. Embodiments include forming trenches and refilling them with an insulating material which also covers a main surface of the substrate, polishing to remove an upper portion of the insulating material and to planarize the insulating material above the small trenches, furnace annealing to densify and strengthen the remaining insulating material, masking the insulating material above the large trenches, isotropically etching the insulating material, and polishing to planarize the insulating material. Since the insulating material is partially planarized and strengthened prior to etching, etching can be carried out after the formation of a relatively simple planarization mask over only the large trenches, and not the small trenches. Because the features of the planarization mask are relatively few and have a relatively large geometry, the present invention avoids the need to create and implement a critical mask, enabling production costs to be reduced and manufacturing throughput to be increased.

摘要： An insulated trench isolation structure is formed in a semiconductor substrate omitting a barrier nitride polish stop layer while avoiding substrate damage, thereby simplifying trench formation and improving planarity. After trench fill, polishing is conducted to effect substantial planarization without exposing the substrate surface, thereby avoiding substrate damage. Etching is then conducted to expose the substrate surface. The omission of the barrier nitride polish stop avoids generation of a topographical step at the substrate/trench fill interface, thereby enhancing the accuracy of subsequent photolithographic techniques in forming features with minimal dimensions.

摘要： The present invention discloses a system and method for designing grating structures for use in situ scatterometry during the photolithography process to detect a photoresist defect (e.g., photoresist erosion, pattern collapse or pattern bending). In one embodiment, a grating structure may be designed with a pitch or critical dimensional smaller than the one used for the semiconductor device. The pitch and the critical dimension of the grating structure may be varied. In another embodiment, the present invention provides for a feedback mechanism between the in situ scatterometry process and the photolithography process to provide an early warning of the existence of a photoresist defect. If a defect is detected on the wafer, the wafer may be sent to be re-worked or re-patterned, thereby avoiding scrapping the entire wafer.

摘要： The present invention provides a method to fabricate an organic memory device, wherein the fabrication method includes forming a lower electrode, depositing a passive material over the surface of the lower electrode, applying an organic semiconductor material over the passive material, and operatively coupling the an upper electrode to the lower electrode through the organic semiconductor material and the passive material. Patterning of the organic semiconductor material is achieved by depositing a silicon-based resist over the organic semiconductor, irradiating portions of the silicon-based resist and patterning the silicon-based resist to remove the irradiated portions of the silicon-based resist. Thereafter, the exposed organic semiconductor can be patterned, and the non-irradiated silicon-based resist can be stripped to expose the organic semiconductor material that can be employed as a memory cell for single and multi-cell memory devices. A partitioning component can be integrated with the memory device to facilitate stacking memory devices and programming, reading, writing and erasing memory elements.
