摘要: Differently-sized features of an integrated circuit are formed by etching a substrate using a mask which is formed by combining two separately formed patterns. Pitch multiplication is used to form the relatively small features of the first pattern and conventional photolithography used to form the relatively large features of the second pattern. Pitch multiplication is accomplished by patterning a photoresist and then etching that pattern into an amorphous carbon layer. Sidewall spacers are then formed on the sidewalls of the amorphous carbon. The amorphous carbon is removed, leaving behind the sidewall spacers, which define the first mask pattern. A bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) is then deposited around the spacers to form a planar surface and a photoresist layer is formed over the BARC. The photoresist is next patterned by conventional photolithography to form the second pattern, which is then is transferred to the BARC. The combined pattern made out by the first pattern and the second pattern is transferred to an underlying amorphous silicon layer and the pattern is subjected to a carbon strip to remove BARC and photoresist material. The combined pattern is then transferred to the silicon oxide layer and then to an amorphous carbon mask layer. The combined mask pattern, having features of difference sizes, is then etched into the underlying substrate through the amorphous carbon hard mask layer.

摘要: Techniques are disclosed for fabricating a device using a photolithographic process. The method includes providing a first anti-reflective coating over a surface of a substrate. A layer which is transparent to a wavelength of light used during the photolithographic process is provided over the first anti-reflective coating, and a photosensitive material is provided above the transparent layer. The photosensitive material is exposed to a source of radiation including the wavelength of light. Preferably, the first anti-reflective coating extends beneath substantially the entire transparent layer. The complex refractive index of the first anti-reflective coating can be selected to maximize the absorption at the first anti-reflective coating to reduce notching of the photosensitive material.

摘要: A transparent amorphous carbon layer is formed. The transparent amorphous carbon layer has a low absorption coefficient such that the amorphous carbon is transparent in visible light. The transparent amorphous carbon layer may be used in semiconductor devices for different purposes. The transparent amorphous carbon layer may be included in a final structure in semiconductor devices. The transparent amorphous carbon layer may also be used as a mask in an etching process during fabrication of semiconductor devices.

摘要: A low k interlevel dielectric layer fabrication method includes providing a substrate having integrated circuitry at least partially formed thereon. An oxide comprising interlevel dielectric layer comprising carbon and having a dielectric constant no greater than 3.5 is formed over the substrate. After forming the carbon comprising dielectric layer, it is exposed to a plasma comprising oxygen effective to reduce the dielectric constant to below what it was prior to said exposing. A low k interlevel dielectric layer fabrication method includes providing a substrate having integrated circuitry at least partially formed thereon. In a chamber, an interlevel dielectric layer comprising carbon and having a dielectric constant no greater than 3.5 is plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited over the substrate at subatmospheric pressure. After forming the carbon comprising dielectric layer, it is exposed to a plasma comprising oxygen at a subatmospheric pressure effective to reduce the dielectric constant by at least 10% below what it was prior to said exposing. The exposing occurs without removing the substrate from the chamber between the depositing and the exposing, and pressure within the chamber is maintained at subatmospheric between the depositing and the exposing.

摘要: A method of depositing a non-conductive barrier layer onto a metal surface wherein the resistance of the metal remains substantially unchanged before and after the non-conductive barrier layer deposition. The deposition process provides a low temperature processing environment so as to inhibit the formation of impurities such as silicide in the metal, wherein the silicide can adversely increase the resistance of the underlying metal.
