Abstract: A system and method utilize directed self-assembly films, including block copolymers and solvents, to form features on a wafer. The solvents have high boiling points. The high boiling points of the solvents enable directed self-assembly processes to utilize very high temperature, rapid thermal annealing processes to generate a pattern of first and second polymer structures over a wafer from the directed self-assembly films. The pattern of the first and second polymer structures can be utilized to form the features on the wafer.

Abstract: A method is provided including forming a first layer over a substrate and forming an adhesion layer over the first layer. The adhesion layer has a composition including an epoxy group. A photoresist layer is formed directly on the adhesion layer. A portion of the photoresist layer is exposed to a radiation source. The composition of the adhesion layer and the exposed portion of the photoresist layer cross-link using the epoxy group. Thee photoresist layer is then developed (e.g., by a negative tone developer) to form a photoresist pattern feature, which may overlie the formed cross-linked region.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first protective layer over an edge portion of a first main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A metal-containing photoresist layer is formed over the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first protective layer is removed, and the metal-containing photoresist layer is selectively exposed to actinic radiation. A second protective layer is formed over the edge portion of the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The selectively exposed photoresist layer is developed to form a patterned photoresist layer, and the second protective layer is removed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming a hard mask on a transistor's gate structure that minimizes gate spacer loss and gate height loss during the formation of self-aligned contact openings. The method includes forming spacers on sidewalls of spaced apart gate structures and disposing a dielectric layer between the gate structures. The method also includes etching top surfaces of the gate structures and top surfaces of the spacers with respect to a top surface of the dielectric layer. Additionally, the method includes depositing a hard mask layer haying a metal containing dielectric layer over the etched top surfaces of the gate structures and the spacers and etching the dielectric layer with an etching chemistry to form contact openings between the spacers, where the hard mask layer has a lower etch rate than the spacers when exposed to the etching chemistry.

Abstract: A layout modification method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. Uniformity of critical dimensions of a first portion and a second portion in a patterned layer are calculated by using a layout for an exposure manufacturing process to produce the semiconductor device. A width of the second portion equals a penumbra size of the exposure manufacturing process, and the penumbra size is utilized to indicate which area of the patterned layer is affected by light leakage exposure from another exposure manufacturing process. Non-uniformity between the first and second portions of the patterned layer is compensated according to the uniformity of critical dimensions to generate a modified layout. The patterned layer includes a plurality of absorbers, and a first width of the absorbers is the first portion is less than a second width of the absorbers in the second portion the second portion.
