    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: A method of removing organic particles from a registration mark on a semiconductor wafer. The method comprises providing a semiconductor wafer comprising at least one registration mark at least partially filled with organic particles. The at least one registration mark has a trench width from approximately 1.0 μm to approximately 3.0 μm. The semiconductor wafer is exposed to a cleaning solution comprising tetramethylammonium hydroxide and at least one surfactant, such as an acetylenic diol surfactant. The semiconductor wafer is exposed to an ultrasonic or megasonic vibrational energy. A semiconductor wafer previously subjected to a chemical mechanical planarization treatment and having a reduced amount of organic particles in a registration mark is also disclosed.
