摘要: Gate cutting techniques disclosed herein form gate isolation fins to isolate metal gates of multigate devices from one another before forming the multigate devices, and in particular, before forming the metal gates of the multigate devices. An exemplary device includes a first multigate device having first source/drain features and a first metal gate that surrounds a first channel layer and a second multigate device having second source/drain features and a second metal gate that surrounds a second channel layer. A gate isolation fin, which separates the first metal gate and the second metal gate, includes a first dielectric layer having a first dielectric constant and a second dielectric layer having a second dielectric constant disposed over the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric constant is less than the first dielectric constant. A gate isolation end cap may be disposed on the gate isolation fin to provide additional isolation.

摘要: A method includes forming a gate stack on a semiconductor region, wherein the semiconductor region is over a bulk semiconductor substrate. The gate stack is etched to form a first trench, wherein a plurality of protruding semiconductor fins are revealed to the first trench. The plurality of protruding semiconductor fins are etched to form a plurality of second trenches extending into the bulk semiconductor substrate. The plurality of second trenches are underlying and joined to the first trench. The plurality of second trenches include a first outmost trench having a first depth, a second outmost trench, and an inner trench between the first outmost trench and the second outmost trench. The inner trench has a second depth equal to or smaller than the first depth. A fin isolation region is formed to fill the first trench and the plurality of second trenches.

摘要: A method includes forming a photoresist on a base structure, and performing a first light-exposure process on the photoresist using a first lithography mask. In the first light-exposure process, an inner portion of the photoresist is blocked from being exposed, and a peripheral portion of the photoresist is exposed. The peripheral portion encircles the inner portion. A second light-exposure process is performed on the photoresist using a second lithography mask. In the second light-exposure process, the inner portion of the photoresist is exposed, and the peripheral portion of the photoresist is blocked from being exposed. The photoresist is then developed.

摘要: An electrostatic substrate holder for use in an extreme ultraviolet radiation lithography system includes a substrate receiving surface having a plurality of gas passages in fluid communication with a variable gas pressure pump. Varying the pressure in a void space between the backside of the substrate and the substrate receiving surface of the substrate holder promotes removal of non-gaseous materials within the void space between the backside of the substrate and the substrate receiving surface of the substrate holder.

摘要: The current disclosure describes techniques for forming semiconductor structures having multiple semiconductor strips configured as channel portions. In the semiconductor structures, diffusion break structures are formed after the gate structures are formed so that the structural integrity of the semiconductor strips adjacent to the diffusion break structures will not be compromised by a subsequent gate formation process. The diffusion break extends downward from an upper surface until all the semiconductor strips of the adjacent channel portions are truncated by the diffusion break.
