    摘要: A method of forming a contact opening between two conductive features over a semiconductor substrate. Oxide spacers are formed adjacent to the conductive features. A doped oxide layer is then deposited over the semiconductor substrate. Finally, the contact opening is etched through the doped oxide layer between the conductive features such that the oxide spacers are exposed within the contact opening.

    摘要: There is disclosed herein a technique for manufacturing a group of memory cells or devices on a common oxide coated silicon substrate such that the cells are arranged in rows and columns with row and column spaces separating the individual cells from one another. Each of the cells includes an array of different layers on the oxide coated top surface of the substrate including, in particular, the polysilicon layer. As disclosed, a method is provided for preventing the formation of polysilicon stringers between individual cells during their manufacture. This method is carried out by first forming the columns before the rows are formed such that continuous sidewalls of the columns are exposed to the ambient surroundings. Thereafter, these sidewalls are coated with protective layers, specifically layers of nitride.

    摘要: A calibration wafer for a patterned wafer scanner is constructed from a substrate of semiconductor material, typically silicon, in which a pattern of features has been etched into the periphery of each die by means of photolithographic techniques. Next, a layer or layers of films composed of materials which are typically used during the fabrication of integrated circuits are deposited. Then a substantially uniform distribution of particles of a known material and size distribution is deposited onto the wafer. A second embodiment of the calibration wafer is one in which a layer or layers of film are first deposited onto a substrate. Then a pattern of features is etched into the periphery of the film covering each die by means of photolithographic techniques. After this step, a substantially uniform distribution of particles is deposited. A method of using such a calibration wafer to calibrate a patterned wafer scanner is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for implanting a dopant in a substrate is provided. A patterned photoresist mask is formed over the substrate, wherein the patterned photoresist mask has patterned photoresist mask features. A protective layer is deposited on the patterned photoresist mask by performing a cyclical deposition, wherein each cycle, comprises a depositing phase for depositing a deposition layer over surfaces of the patterned mask of photoresist material and a profile shaping phase for providing vertical sidewalls. A dopant is implanted into the substrate using an ion beam. The protective layer and photoresist mask are removed.

    摘要: A method for forming an array area with a surrounding periphery area, wherein a substrate is disposed under an etch layer, which is disposed under a patterned organic mask defining the array area and covers the entire periphery area is provided. The patterned organic mask is trimmed. An inorganic layer is deposited over the patterned organic mask where a thickness of the inorganic layer over the covered periphery area of the organic mask is greater than a thickness of the inorganic layer over the array area of the organic mask. The inorganic layer is etched back to expose the organic mask and form inorganic spacers in the array area, while leaving the organic mask in the periphery area unexposed. The organic mask exposed in the array area is stripped, while leaving the inorganic spacers in place and protecting the organic mask in the periphery area.

    摘要: A feature in a layer is provided. A photoresist layer is formed over the layer. The photoresist layer is patterned to form photoresist features with photoresist sidewalls, where the photoresist features have a first critical dimension. A fluorine-containing conformal layer is deposited over the sidewalls of the photoresist features to reduce the critical dimensions of the photoresist features. Fluorine is removed from the conformal layer, while the remaining conformal layer is left in place. Features are etched into the layer, wherein the layer features have a second critical dimension, which is less than the first critical dimension.
