    摘要: A method for fabricating a microelectronic structure provides for forming a backfilling material layer at least laterally adjacent, and preferably laterally adjoining, a resist layer located over a substrate. Preferably, the resist layer comprises a surface treated resist layer. Optionally, the backfilling material layer may be surface treated similarly to the surface treated resist layer. Under such circumstances: (1) surface portions of the backfilling material layer and resist layer; and (2) remaining portions of the backfilling material layer and resist layer, may be sequentially stripped using a two step etch method, such as a two step plasma etch method. Alternatively, a surface portion of the surface treated resist layer only may be stripped while using a first etch method, and the remaining portions of the resist layer and backfilling material layer may be planarized prior to being simultaneously stripped while using a second etch method.

    摘要: The specification and drawings present a new method, device and computer/software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) are presented for realizing eDRAM strap formation in Fin FET device structures. Semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate comprising at least an insulator layer between a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer is provided. The (metal) strap formation is accomplished by depositing conductive layer on fins portion of the second semiconductor layer (Si) and a semiconductor material (polysilicon) in each DT capacitor extending to the second semiconductor layer. The metal strap is sealed by a nitride spacer to prevent the shorts between PWL and DT capacitors.

    摘要: An improved method of making interconnect structures with self-aligned vias in semiconductor devices utilizes sidewall image transfer to define the trench pattern. The sidewall height acts as a sacrificial mask during etching of the via and subsequent etching of the trench, so that the underlying metal hard mask is protected. Thinner hard masks and/or a wider range of etch chemistries may thereby be utilized.

    摘要: Novel methods for reliably and reproducibly forming magnetic tunnel junctions in integrated circuits are described. In accordance with aspects of the invention, sidewall spacer features are utilized during the processing of the film stack. Advantageously, these sidewall spacer features create a tapered masking feature which helps to avoid byproduct redeposition during the etching of the MTJ film stack, thereby improving process yield. Moreover, the sidewall spacer features may be used as encapsulating layers during subsequent processing steps and as vertical contacts to higher levels of metallization.

    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor device having implanted source/drain regions and a gate region, the gate region having been masked by the gate hardmask during source/drain implantation, the gate region having a polysilicon gate layered on a metal layered on a high-K dielectric layer. The gate region and the source/drain regions may be covered with a self planarizing spin on film. The film may be blanket etched back to uncover the gate hardmask while maintaining an etched back self planarizing spin on film on the implanted source/drain regions. The gate hardmask may be etched back while the etched back film remains in place to protect the implanted source/drain regions. The gate region may be low energy implanted to lower sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer. The etched back film may be then removed.
