    摘要: Some embodiments include methods for treating surfaces. Beads and/or other insolubles may be dispersed within a liquid carrier to form a dispersion. A transfer layer may be formed across a surface. The dispersion may be directed toward the transfer layer, and the insolubles may impact the transfer layer. The impacting may generate force in the transfer layer, and such force may be transferred through the transfer layer to the surface. The surface may be a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and the force may be utilized to sweep contaminants from the semiconductor substrate surface. The transfer layer may be a liquid, and in some embodiments may be a cleaning solution.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a substrate includes forming spaced first features and spaced second features over a substrate. The first and second features alternate with one another and are spaced relative one another. Width of the spaced second features is laterally trimmed to a greater degree than any lateral trimming of width of the spaced first features while laterally trimming width of the spaced second features. After laterally trimming of the second features, spacers are formed on sidewalls of the spaced first features and on sidewalls of the spaced second features. The spacers are of some different composition from that of the spaced first features and from that of the spaced second features. After forming the spacers, the spaced first features and the spaced second features are removed from the substrate. The substrate is processed through a mask pattern comprising the spacers. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A mask having features formed by self-organizing material, such as diblock copolymers, is formed on a partially fabricated integrated circuit. Initially, a copolymer template, or seed layer, is formed on the surface of the partially fabricated integrated circuit. To form the seed layer, diblock copolymers, composed of two immiscible blocks, are deposited in the space between copolymer alignment guides. The copolymers are made to self-organize, with the guides guiding the self-organization and with each block aggregating with other blocks of the same type, thereby forming the seed layer. Next, additional, supplemental diblock copolymers are deposited over the seed layer. The copolymers in the seed layer guide self-organization of the supplemental copolymers, thereby vertically extending the pattern formed by the copolymers in the seed layer. Block species are subsequently selectively removed to form a pattern of voids defined by the remaining block species, which form a mask that can be used to pattern an underlying substrate. The supplemental copolymers augment the height of the copolymers in the seed layer, thereby facilitating the use of the copolymers for patterning the underlying substrate.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin film transistor relative to a substrate includes, a) providing a thin film transistor layer of polycrystalline material on a substrate, the polycrystalline material comprising grain boundaries; b) providing a fluorine containing layer adjacent the polycrystalline thin film layer; c) annealing the fluorine containing layer at a temperature and for a time period which in combination are effective to drive fluorine from the fluorine containing layer into the polycrystalline thin film layer and incorporate fluorine within the grain boundaries to passivate said grain boundaries; and d) providing a transistor gate operatively adjacent the thin film transistor layer. The thin film transistor can be fabricated to be bottom gated or top gated. A buffering layer can be provided intermediate the thin film transistor layer and the fluorine containing layer, with the buffering layer being transmissive of fluorine from the fluorine containing layer during the annealing. Preferably, the annealing temperature is both sufficiently high to drive fluorine from the fluorine containing layer into the polycrystalline thin film layer and incorporate fluorine within the grain boundaries to passivate said grain boundaries, but sufficiently low to prevent chemical reaction of the fluorine containing layer with the polycrystalline thin film layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a memory cell including forming nanodots over a first dielectric layer and forming a second dielectric layer over the nanodots, where the second dielectric layer encases the nanodots. In addition, an intergate dielectric layer is formed over the second dielectric layer. To form sidewalls of the memory cell, a portion of the intergate dielectric layer and a portion of the second dielectric layer are removed with a dry etch, where the sidewalls include a location where a nanodot has been deposited. A spacing layer is formed over the sidewalls to cover the location where a nanodot has been deposited and the remaining portion of the second dielectric layer and the nanodots can be removed with an isotropic etch selective to the second dielectric layer.

    摘要: A pattern having exceptionally small features is printed on a partially fabricated integrated circuit during integrated circuit fabrication. The pattern is printed using an array of probes, each probe having: 1) a photocatalytic nanodot at its tip; and 2) an individually controlled light source. The surface of the partially fabricated integrated circuit comprises a photochemically active species. The active species undergoes a chemical change when contacted by the nanodot, when the nanodot is illuminated by light. To print a pattern, each probe raster-scans its associated nanodot across the surface of the partially fabricated integrated circuit. When the nanodot reaches a desired location, the nanodot is illuminated by the light source, catalyzing a change in the reactive species and, thus, printing at that location. Subsequently, reacted or unreacted species are selectively removed, thereby forming a mask pattern over the partially fabricated integrated circuit. The minimum size of the features in the pattern is determined by the size of the nanodot and can be very small, e.g., having critical dimensions of about 20 nm or less.
