摘要:
A reactive ion etching technique is disclosed for etching a gate electrode out of layers of tungsten silicide and polycrystalline silicon without etching the underlying layer of silicon dioxide which serves as the gate dielectric and which covers the source and drain regions. The key feature of the invention, wherein the gate, which has been partially etched out of the tungsten silicide and polycrystalline silicon layers, is coated with poly tetra-fluoroethylene (teflon) to protect the sidewalls of the gate from being excessively etched in the lateral direction while the etching continues at the bottom on either side of the gate.The process is especially suitable for formation of tungsten silicide structures since no subsequent thermal steps are required which would otherwise cause a delamination of the tungsten silicide. In addition to eliminating undercutting, the process does not disturb the gate oxide over the source and drain areas, which would otherwise create a leaky device unsuitable for applications such as dynamic RAMs. The entire process can be carried out in a single pump down and therefore contamination levels can be minimized.

In accordance with some embodiments, data may be automatically provided on preordained conditions for specific types of data. Thus specific types of data or specific requestors may be treated differently. The system may be programmed to respond appropriately to requests for certain types of data from certain types of requestors. This offloads the need to review specific requests in many cases and enables an automated system for providing requested data as appropriate.

Techniques and mechanisms for determining that subscription headroom is available for a storage pool. In an embodiment, the storage pool is classified based on a current subscription level for the storage pool and respective levels of one or more metrics for the storage pool. A signal is generated in response to a storage pool classification indicating availability of subscription headroom. In another embodiment, a target subscription level is determined for generating the signal, where the target subscription level is based on the current subscription level, a first metric of the one or more metrics, and a high utilization threshold corresponding to the first metric.
摘要:
A homogeneous marker is formed, possibly by the adsorption of trace amounts of an ambient material such as carbon monoxide gas, at a surface of a deposited material when the plasma in momentarily interrupted during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition or other deposition processes involving the presence of a plasma. When the deposited material is etched, the resulting crystal dislocations or adsorbed gas is detected as a marker by optical emission spectroscopy techniques. The accuracy of an end point determination of the etching process can be increased by providing a sequence of such markers within the bulk or volume of the deposited material. The markers, being merely an interface such as a slight crystal dislocation in otherwise homogeneous material, do not affect the electrical, chemical or optical properties of the remainder of the predetermined deposited material and thus the homogeneity of the deposited material is not significantly affected.

A process and structure for depositing metal lines in a lift-off process is disclosed. The process comprises the deposition of a four-layer structure or lift-off stencil, comprising a first layer of a lift-off polymer etchable in oxygen plasma, a first barrier layer of hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) resistant to an oxygenplasma, a second lift-off layer and a second barrier layer. Once these layers are deposited, a layer of photoresist is deposited and lithographically defined with the metal conductor pattern desired. The layers are then sequentially etched with oxygen and CF.sub.4, resulting in a dual overhang lift-off structure. Metal is then deposited by evaporation or sputtering through the lift-off structure. Following metal deposition, the stencil is lifted-off in a solvent such as N-methylpyrroldone (NMP).
