    摘要: The present invention provides a method for forming self-aligned spacers on the horizontal surfaces while removing spacer material from the vertical surfaces. The preferred method uses a resist that can be made insoluble to developer by the use of an implant. By conformally depositing the resist over a substrate having both vertical and horizontal surfaces, implanting the resist, and developing the resist, the resist is removed from the vertical surfaces while remaining on the horizontal surfaces. Thus, a self-aligned spacer is formed on the horizontal surfaces while the spacer material is removed from the vertical surfaces. This horizontal-surface spacer can then be used in further fabrication. The preferred method can be used in many different processes where there is exists a need to differentially process the vertical and horizontal surfaces of a substrate.

    摘要: A finFET structure includes a semiconductor fin located over a substrate. A gate electrode is located traversing the semiconductor fin. The gate electrode has a spacer layer located adjoining a sidewall thereof. The spacer layer does not cover completely a sidewall of the semiconductor fin. The gate electrode and the spacer layer may be formed using a vapor deposition method that provides for selective deposition upon a sidewall of a mandrel layer but not upon an adjoining surface of the substrate so that the spacer layer does not cover completely the sidewall of the semiconductor fin. Other microelectronic structures may be fabricated using the lateral growth methodology.

    摘要: A memory cell in an integrated circuit is fabricated in part by forming a lower electrode feature, an island, a sacrificial feature, a gate feature, and a phase change feature. The island is formed on the lower electrode feature and has one or more sidewalls. It comprises a lower doped feature, a middle doped feature formed above the lower doped feature, and an upper doped feature formed above the middle doped feature. The sacrificial feature is formed above the island, while the gate feature is formed along each sidewall of the island. The gate feature overlies at least a portion of the middle doped feature of the island and is operative to control an electrical resistance therein. Finally, the phase feature is formed above the island at least in part by replacing at least a portion of the sacrificial feature with a phase change material. The phase change material is operative to switch between lower and higher electrical resistance states in response to an application of an electrical signal.
