Abstract:
A rework process of patterned photo-resist layer is provided. First, a substrate is provided with a first DARC, a first primer and a first patterned photo-resist layer being sequentially formed thereon. Next, remove the first patterned photo-resist layer and the first primer from the first DARC. After that, form a second DARC on the first DARC; form a second primer on the second DARC. Last, form a second patterned photo-resist layer on the second primer.
Abstract:
A method of reducing a critical dimension (“CD”) bias between a dense pattern and an isolation pattern is disclosed. The method includes a first step of providing a mask having a dense pattern, an isolation pattern and the other area of the mask is transparent, in which mask the dense pattern has a first opaque pattern and the isolation pattern has a second opaque pattern. The second step of the method is forming a virtual pattern around the isolation pattern, in which a distance between the virtual pattern and the isolation pattern is y, and the virtual pattern has a pattern line width x. By forming the virtual pattern around the isolation pattern, the flare effect of the isolation pattern is close to that of the dense pattern, thus the CD bias between a dense pattern, and an isolation pattern is reduced, and the process window does not shrink.
Abstract:
A sandwich ARC structure for preventing metal to contact from shifting, the sandwich ARC structure comprising a first Ti layer formed on a metal laer and a first TiN layer formed on the first Ti layer. A second Ti layer is formed on the first TiN layer and a second TiN layer is formed on the second Ti layer. Wherein the sandwich ARC structure formed of first Ti/first TiN/second Ti/second TiN will reduces the tress between said metal layer and a dielectric layer formed below the metal layer.
Abstract:
A cooling system for a hot plate. The cooling system includes a plurality of pipelines inside the hot plate. Each pipeline has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet permits a cooling fluid to enter and the outlet permits the cooling fluid to leave. The cooling fluid running inside the pipelines picks up heat from the hot plate and carries away so that the hot plate is cooled.
Abstract:
A method comprises forming a BARC layer on a substrate, treating the BARC layer to make its surface hydrophilic, forming a photoresist layer on the treated BARC layer, exposing the photoresist layer to a predetermined pattern, and developing the photoresist layer to form patterned photoresist.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit capable of operating despite a profile shift is disclosed. Overlay marks on the integrated circuit are surrounded by a trench that tends to relieve the effect of a profile shift caused by stress applied to the integrated circuit. The position of the overlay marks tends, therefore, not to be affected by the stress.
Abstract:
A method of forming a dual-layer resist and application thereof. With respect to the method of forming a dual-layer resist, first, a patterned first resist layer is formed on a substrate. Next, the first resist layer is cured so that the first resist layer does not dissolve in a resist solvent. Finally, a patterned second resist layer is formed on the cured first resist layer. The method of forming a dual-layer resist can be applied to mask ROM coding, hole formation and a dual damascene structure.

Abstract:
A planarization method using anisotropic etching can be applied to planarize an insulating layer with an uneven surface on a substrate. H2SO4, H3PO4, HF and H2O are mixed to form an etching solution. The substrate is placed into the etching solution to make the etching solution pass the surface of the insulating layer at a flow rate to etch the insulating layer. After a period of etching time, the insulating layer with a more planar surface can be obtained.

Abstract:
A Mask ROM and a method for fabricating the same are described. The Mask ROM comprises a substrate, a plurality of gates on the substrate, a gate oxide layer between the gates and the substrate, a plurality of buried bit lines in the substrate between the gates, an insulator on the buried bit lines and between the gates, a plurality of word lines each disposed over a row of gates perpendicular to the buried bit lines, and a coding layer between the word lines and the gates.
