    摘要: A process for forming a semiconductor device may comprise forming an organic dielectric layer on a substrate, forming a protective layer on the organic dielectric layer, forming a photoresist mask on the protective layer, and silyating the photoresist mask. The protective layer is etched using the silyated photoresist mask as an etch mask, and then the organic dielectric layer is etched using the silyated photoresist mask as an etch mask. Metal may be deposited in a void etched in the organic dielectric layer to form a wiring, contact or via.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a T-gate structure is provided. A structure is provided that has a silicon layer having a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer over the gate oxide layer and an insulating layer over the gate oxide layer. An opening is formed extending partially into the insulating layer. The opening in the insulating layer extends from a top surface of the insulating layer to a first depth. Spacers are then formed on the sides of the opening. The opening is then extended in the insulating layer from the first depth to a second depth. The opening is wider from the top surface of the insulating layer to the first depth than the opening is from the first depth to the second depth. The spacers are then removed from the opening. The opening is then filled with a conductive material to form a T-gate structure.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method to fabricate an organic memory device, wherein the fabrication method includes forming a lower electrode, depositing a passive material over the surface of the lower electrode, applying an organic semiconductor material over the passive material, and operatively coupling the an upper electrode to the lower electrode through the organic semiconductor material and the passive material. Patterning of the organic semiconductor material is achieved by depositing a silicon-based resist over the organic semiconductor, irradiating portions of the silicon-based resist and patterning the silicon-based resist to remove the irradiated portions of the silicon-based resist. Thereafter, the exposed organic semiconductor can be patterned, and the non-irradiated silicon-based resist can be stripped to expose the organic semiconductor material that can be employed as a memory cell for single and multi-cell memory devices. A partitioning component can be integrated with the memory device to facilitate stacking memory devices and programming, reading, writing and erasing memory elements.
