    摘要: An exemplary implementation of the present invention includes a method for forming conductive lines fabricated in a semiconductor device, the method comprising the steps of forming a first layer of patterned conductive lines, having substantially vertical sidewalls, on a supporting material; of forming insulative spacers about the substantially vertical sidewalls; of forming trenches into the supporting material that align to the insulative spacers; and of forming a second layer of patterned conductive lines such that each line is at least partially embedded within a corresponding trench. Preferably, the conductive lines, formed by a double metal process, are recessed into a supporting material that has a substantially planar surface.

    摘要: An etch process for increasing the alignment tolerances between capacitor components and an adjacent contact corridor in Dynamic Random Access Memories. The etch process is implemented in a capacitor structure formed over a semiconductor substrate The capacitor structure includes a first conductor, a dielectric layer on the first conductor and a second conductor on the dielectric layer. The second conductor has a horizontal region laterally adjacent to and extending away from the first conductor. The etch process comprises the steps of: (a) forming a layer of patterned photoresist over the second conductor, the photoresist being patterned to expose a portion of the horizontal region of the second conductor at a desired location of a contact corridor above a source/drain region in the substrate; (b) using the photoresist as an etch mask, anisotropically etching away the exposed portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor; and (c) using the photoresist again as an etch mask, isotropically etching away substantially all of the remaining portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor and thereby enlarging the area available for locating the contact corridor. Alternatively, the horizontal region of the second conductor is removed using a single isotropic etch.
