Abstract: Directional patterning methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes performing a lithography process to form a pattered hard mask layer over a wafer, wherein the patterned hard mask layer includes a hard mask feature having an associated horizontally-defined characteristic; tuning an etching process to direct etching species in a substantially horizontal direction relative to a horizontal surface of the wafer, such that the etching process horizontally removes portions of the patterned hard mask layer, thereby modifying the horizontally-defined characteristic of the hard mask feature; and forming an integrated circuit feature that corresponds with the hard mask feature having the modified horizontally-defined characteristic. Horizontally-defined characteristic can include a length, a width, a line edge roughness, a line width roughness, a line end profile, other horizontally-defined characteristics, or combinations thereof. In some implementations, the directional patterning method disclosed herein can achieve oblique interconnects and/or slot (rectangular) via interconnects.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a transistor device. In this method, first and second well regions are formed within a semiconductor substrate. The first and second well regions have first and second etch rates, respectively, which are different from one another. Dopants are selectively implanted into the first well region to alter the first etch rate to make the first etch rate substantially equal to the second etch rate. The first, selectively implanted well region and the second well region are etched to form channel recesses having equal recess depths. An epitaxial growth process is performed to form one or more epitaxial layers within the channel recesses.
