    摘要: A two-step nitrogen plasma method is used for stripping a photoresist layer from over a substrate. A first step within the two-step nitrogen plasma method uses a nitrogen plasma with ion activation to form from the photoresist layer over the substrate a treated photoresist layer over the substrate. A second step within the two-step nitrogen plasma method uses a second nitrogen plasma without ion activation to remove the treated photoresist layer from over the substrate. The method is particularly useful for stripping a patterned photoresist layer that is used for forming a gate electrode from a gate electrode material layer.

    摘要: A magnetic memory cell having a self-aligned hard mask for contact to a magnetic tunnel junction is provided. For example, a magnetic memory cell includes a magnetic storage element formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a hard mask that is self-aligned with the magnetic storage element. The hard mask includes a hard mask material layer formed on an upper surface of a magnetic stack in the magnetic storage element, an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer formed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the hard mask material layer, wherein the ARC layer is selected to be removable by a wet etch, and a photoresist layer formed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the ARC layer. The selected portions of the ARC layer and photoresist layer are removed in a same processing step with wet etch techniques without interference to the magnetic stack.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a photonic modulator and a field effect transistor on a same substrate. The photonic modulator includes a modulator semiconductor structure and a semiconductor contact structure employing a same semiconductor material as a gate electrode of a field effect transistor. The modulator semiconductor structure includes a lateral p-n junction, and the semiconductor contact structure includes another lateral p-n junction. To form this semiconductor structure, the modulator semiconductor structure in the shape of a waveguide and an active region of a field effect transistor region can be patterned in a semiconductor substrate. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the modulator semiconductor structure and the active region, and is subsequently removed from the modulator semiconductor structure. A semiconductor material layer is deposited, patterned, and doped with patterns to form a gate electrode for the field effect transistor and the semiconductor contact structure for the waveguide.
