    Abstract: A method of mitigating asymmetric lens heating in photolithographically patterning a photo-imageable material using a reticle includes determining where first hot spot locations are expected to occur on a lens when using a reticle to pattern a photo-imageable material. The reticle is then fabricated to include non-printing features within a non-printing region of the reticle which generate additional hot spot locations on the lens when using the reticle to pattern the photo-imageable material. Other implementations are contemplated, including reticles which may be independent of method of use or fabrication.

    Abstract: Methods of forming features are disclosed. One method comprises forming a resist over a pool of acidic or basic material on a substrate structure, selectively exposing the resist to an energy source to form exposed resist portions and non-exposed resist portions, and diffusing acid or base of the acidic or basic material from the pool into proximal portions of the resist. Another method comprises forming a plurality of recesses in a substrate structure. The plurality of recesses are filled with a pool material comprising acid or base. A resist is formed over the pool material and the substrate structure and acid or base is diffused into adjacent portions of the resist. The resist is patterned to form openings in the resist. The openings comprise wider portions distal to the substrate structure and narrower portions proximal to the substrate structure. Additional methods and semiconductor device structures including the features are disclosed.

    Abstract: An inductor is formed on an integrated circuit (IC) using one or more structures formed during or in coordination with 3D NAND structure fabrication with one or more modifications. The inductor has a staircase structure, the staircase structure having a plurality of tiers that form steps on one side of the staircase structure. Each tier comprises a conductive layer. The plurality of tiers includes at least a first tier and a second tier. The inductor has a first contact electrically coupling the first tier and the second tier. A first portion of a die is occupied by a memory sub-component comprising at least one three-dimensional (3D) NAND memory component and a second portion of the die is occupied by the inductor.

    Abstract: Aligning pillars of a three-dimensional NAND memory assembly can include forming a first pillar and a corresponding first pillar alignment feature in at least a portion of a first substrate stack. The alignment method can include depositing a second substrate stack on the first substrate stack, covering the first pillar alignment feature and the first pillar, and depositing a first masking layer on at least a portion of the second substrate stack. Illumination light can be used to illuminate a portion of the first masking layer. A reflected portion of the illumination light can indicate a location of the first pillar alignment feature corresponding to the first pillar. Particular wavelengths of the illumination light can be blocked or filtered by the first masking layer.
