    Abstract: Single spacer processes for multiplying pitch by a factor greater than two are provided. In one embodiment, n, where n≧2, tiers of stacked mandrels are formed over a substrate, each of the n tiers comprising a plurality of mandrels substantially parallel to one another. Mandrels at tier n are over and parallel to mandrels at tier n−1, and the distance between adjoining mandrels at tier n is greater than the distance between adjoining mandrels at tier n−1. Spacers are simultaneously formed on sidewalls of the mandrels. Exposed portions of the mandrels are etched away and a pattern of lines defined by the spacers is transferred to the substrate.

    Abstract: A method of forming metal silicide-comprising material includes forming a substrate which includes a first stack having second metal over first metal over silicon and a second stack having second metal over silicon. The first and second metals are of different compositions. The substrate is subjected to conditions which react the second metal with the silicon in the second stack to form metal silicide-comprising material from the second stack. The first metal between the second metal and the silicon in the first stack precludes formation of a silicide comprising the second metal and silicon from the first stack. After forming the metal silicide-comprising material, the first metal, the second metal and the metal silicide-comprising material are subjected to an etching chemistry that etches at least some remaining of the first and second metals from the substrate selectively relative to the metal silicide-comprising material.

    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor structures that include bodies of a semiconductor material disposed between rails of a dielectric material are disclosed. Such methods may include filling a plurality of trenches in a substrate with a dielectric material and removing portions of the substrate between the dielectric material to form a plurality of openings. In some embodiments, portions of the substrate may be undercut to form a continuous void underlying the bodies and the continuous void may be filled with a conductive material. In other embodiments, portions of the substrate exposed within the openings may be converted to a silicide material to form a conductive material under the bodies. For example, the conductive material may be used as a conductive line to electrically interconnect memory device components. Semiconductor structures and devices formed by such methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dense piers for three-dimensional memory arrays are described. In some examples, a memory device may include pier structures formed in contact with features formed from alternating layers of materials deposited over a substrate. For example, a memory device may include alternating layers of a first material and a second material. In some examples, the alternating layers may be formed into a pair of interleaved comb structures. Pier structures may be formed in contact with the cross sectional patterns, and may provide mechanical support of cross-sectional pattern of the remaining material. In some examples, the piers may further act as a separator between memory cells or other features of the memory device. For example, the piers may extend into at least a portion of the interleaved comb structures, and may accordingly act as barriers during subsequent depositions of materials.
