    摘要: A double pattern method of forming a plurality of contact holes in a material layer formed on a substrate is disclosed. The method forms a parallel plurality of first hard mask patterns separated by a first pitch in a first direction on the material layer, a self-aligned parallel plurality of second hard mask patterns interleaved with the first hard mask patterns and separated from the first hard mask patterns by a buffer layer to form composite mask patterns, and a plurality of upper mask patterns in a second direction intersecting the first direction to mask selected portions of the buffer layer in conjunction with the composite mask patterns. The method then etches non-selected portions of the buffer layer using the composite hard mask patterns and the upper mask patterns as an etch mask to form a plurality of hard mask holes exposing selected portions of the material layer, and then etches the selected portions of the material layer to form the plurality of contact holes.

    摘要: Methods of forming field effect transistors include forming a first electrically insulating layer comprising mostly carbon on a surface of a semiconductor substrate and patterning the first electrically insulating layer to define an opening therein. A trench is formed in the substrate by etching the surface of the substrate using the patterned first electrically insulating layer as an etching mask. The trench is filled with a gate electrode. The first electrically insulating layer is patterned in an ambient containing oxygen. This oxygen-containing ambient supports further oxidation of trench-based isolation regions within the substrate when they are exposed by openings within the first electrically insulating layer.

    摘要: Provided are a semiconductor device having a self-aligned contact plug and a method of fabricating the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes conductive patterns, a first interlayer insulating layer, a first spacer, a second interlayer insulating layer, and a contact plug. In each conductive pattern, a conductive layer and a capping layer are sequentially deposited on an insulating layer over a semiconductor substrate. The first interlayer insulating layer fills spaces between the conductive patterns and has a height such that when the first interlayer insulating layer is placed on the insulating layer, the first interlayer insulating layer is lower than a top surface of the capping layer but higher than a top surface of the conductive layer. The first spacer surrounds the outer surface of the capping layer on the first interlayer insulating layer. The second interlayer insulating layer covers the first interlayer insulating layer, the capping layer, and the first spacer and has a planarized top surface. The contact plug passes through the second interlayer insulating layer, the first interlayer insulating layer, and the insulating layer between the conductive patterns, is electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate, has an outerwall surrounded by a second spacer, and is self-aligned with the capping layer.

    摘要: A method for optimizing a seasoning recipe for a dry etch process. The method includes setting a critical value of reproducibility, a main etch recipe, and a preliminary seasoning recipe. A test wafer is then etched using the preliminary seasoning recipe in a dry etch chamber. Next, a main etch process is performed with respect to at least 10 run wafers in the dry etch chamber using the main etch recipe and an end-point detection time for each wafer is determined. An initial dispersion and a standard deviation are then determined using the determined end-point detection times. The critical value of reproducibility is then compared to the initial dispersion. If the initial dispersion is equal to or less than the critical value of reproducibility, the preliminary seasoning recipe is used as the seasoning recipe, otherwise the preliminary seasoning recipe is modified and the process is repeated until an optimal seasoning recipe is determined.
