    摘要: A system and method are provided to facilitate dual damascene interconnect integration in a single imprint step. The method provides for creation of a translucent imprint mold with three-dimensional features comprising the dual damascene pattern to be imprinted. The imprint mold is brought into contact with a photopolymerizable organosilicon imaging layer deposited upon a transfer layer which is spin coated or otherwise deposited upon a dielectric layer of a substrate. When the photopolymerizable layer is exposed to a source of illumination, it cures with a structure matching the dual damascene pattern of the imprint mold. A halogen breakthrough etch followed by oxygen transfer etch transfer the vias from the imaging layer into the transfer layer. A second halogen breakthrough etch followed by a second oxygen transfer etch transfer the trenches from the imaging layer into the transfer layer. A dielectric etch transfers the pattern from the transfer layer into the dielectric layer. A metal fill process then fills the dual damascene openings of the dielectric layer with metal.

    摘要: Gate electrodes with selectively tuned channel thicknesses are formed by selective epitaxial growth. Embodiments include forming shallow trench isolation regions in an SOI substrate, selectively removing the nitride stop layer and pad oxide layer in an exposed particular active region, and implementing selective epitaxial growth to increase the thickness of the semiconductor layer in the particular active region. Subsequently, the remaining nitride stop and pad oxide layers in other active regions are removed, gate dielectric layers formed, as by thermal oxidation, and the transistors completed.

    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for reducing resist height erosion in a gate etch process comprises a step of forming a first resist mask on an anti-reflective coating layer situated over a substrate, where the first resist mask has a first width. The anti-reflective coating layer may be, for example, an organic material. The method further comprises a step of trimming the first resist mask to form a second resist mask, where the second resist mask has a second width, and where the second width is less than the first width. The step of trimming the first resist mask may further comprise, for example, etching the anti-reflective coating layer. According to this exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises a step of performing an HBr plasma treatment on the second resist mask, wherein the HBr plasma treatment causes a vertical etch rate of the second resist mask to decrease.
