    摘要: This invention includes methods of forming patterned photoresist layers over semiconductor substrates. In one implementation, a porous antireflective coating is formed over a semiconductor substrate. A photoresist footer-reducing fluid is provided within pores of the porous antireflective coating. A positive photoresist is formed over the porous antireflective coating having the fluid therein. The positive photoresist is patterned and developed to form a patterned photoresist layer, with the fluid within the pores being effective to reduce photoresist footing in the patterned photoresist layer than would otherwise occur in the absence of the fluid within the pores. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

    摘要: A method of forming a reaction product includes providing a semiconductor substrate comprising a first material. A second material is formed over the first material. The first and second materials are of different compositions, and are proximate one another at an interface. The first and second materials as being proximate one another at the interface are capable of reacting with one another at some minimum reaction temperature when in an inert non-plasma atmosphere at a pressure. The interface is provided at a processing temperature which is at least 50° C. below the minimum reaction temperature, and is provided at the pressure. With the interface at the processing temperature and at the pressure, the substrate is exposed to a plasma effective to impart a reaction of the first material with the second material to form a reaction product third material of the first and second materials over the first material. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

    摘要: A deposition method includes, at a first temperature, contacting a substrate with a surface activation agent and adsorbing a first layer over the substrate. At a second temperature greater than the first temperature, the first layer may be contacted with a first precursor, chemisorbing a second layer at least one monolayer thick over the substrate. The first layer may enhance a chemisorption rate of the first precursor compared to the substrate without the surface activation agent adsorbed thereon. One deposition apparatus includes a deposition chamber with a precursor gas dispenser in a contacting zone and a cooling gas dispenser in a cooling zone. A substrate chuck moves by linear translational motion from the contacting zone to the cooling zone. The substrate chuck includes a substrate lift that positions a deposition substrate at an elevation above a heated surface of the substrate chuck when dispensing a cooling gas or surface activation agent. Another deposition apparatus includes a cooling chamber with a cooled substrate chuck and a contacting chamber with a heated substrate chuck. The contacting chamber also has a precursor gas dispenser and the heated substrate chuck includes a substrate lift. A robotic substrate handler moves a substrate from the cooled substrate chuck to the heated substrate chuck.

In one aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a material adjacent a conductive electrical component comprising: a) partially vaporizing a mass to form a matrix adjacent the conductive electrical component, the matrix having at least one void within it. In another aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a material between a pair of conductive electrical components comprising the following steps: a) forming a pair of conductive electrical components within a mass and separated by an expanse of the mass; b) forming at least one support member within the expanse of the mass, the support member not comprising a conductive interconnect; and c) vaporizing the expanse of the mass to a degree effective to form at least one void between the support member and each of the pair of conductive electrical components. In another aspect, the invention includes an insulating material adjacent a conductive electrical component, the insulating material comprising a matrix and at least one void within the matrix. In another aspect, the invention includes an insulating region between a pair of conductive electrical components comprising: a) a support member between the conductive electrical components, the support member not comprising a conductive interconnect; and b) at least one void between the support member and each of the pair of conductive electrical components.

    摘要: Resistive heaters formed in two mask counts on a surface of a grating of a thermo optic device thereby eliminating one mask count from prior art manufacturing methods. The resistive heater is comprised of a heater region and a conductive path region formed together in a first mask count from a relatively high resistance material. A conductor formed from a relatively low resistance material is formed directly on the conductive path region in a second mask count. Thermo optic devices formed by these two mask count methods are also described.
