摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to the wet stripping of an organic planarization layer (OPL) using reversible UV crosslinking and de-crosslinking. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, an interlayer dielectric is formed over a substrate. A trench is formed in the interlayer dielectric. A work function metal is formed over the interlayer dielectric such that a portion of the work function metal partially fills the trench. A UV sensitive OPL is formed over the work function metal such that a portion of the UV sensitive OPL fills the trench. The UV sensitive OPL can be crosslinked by applying light at a first UV frequency and de-crosslinked by applying light at a second UV frequency.

摘要: A semiconductor structure comprises a semiconductor substrate, an N-type stacked nanosheet channel structure formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a P-type stacked nanosheet channel structure formed adjacent to the N-type stacked nanosheet channel structure on the semiconductor substrate. Each of the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures comprises a plurality of stacked channel regions with each such channel region being substantially surrounded by a gate dielectric layer and a gate work function metal layer, and with the gate work function metal layer being separated from the channel regions by the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric and gate work function metal layers of the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures are substantially eliminated from a shared gate region between the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for dielectric gap fill evaluations are provided. In one example, a method can comprise providing a gap fill substrate over one or more interlayer dielectric trenches of a dielectric layer and over a first material located in the one or more interlayer dielectric trenches. The method can also comprise depositing a gap fill candidate material within one or more gap fill substrate trenches of the gap fill substrate. Furthermore, the method can comprise etching the gap fill candidate material until a void within the first material is identified. Additionally, the method can comprise filling the one or more gap fill substrate trenches with a second material to form one or more contacts with the first material to measure a leakage current of one or more pitches.

摘要: Various methods and structures for fabricating a plurality of vertical fins in a vertical fin pattern on a semiconductor substrate where the vertical fins in the vertical fin pattern are separated by wide-open spaces, along a critical dimension, in a low duty cycle of 1:5 or lower. Adjacent vertical fins in the vertical fin pattern can be all separated by respective wide-open spaces, along a critical dimension, in a low duty cycle, and wherein pairs of adjacent vertical fins in the vertical fin pattern, along the critical dimension, are separated by a constant pitch value at near zero tolerance.

摘要: A high aspect ratio contact structure formed within a dielectric material includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of the contact structure includes a tapering profile towards the bottom portion. A first metal stack surrounded by an inner spacer is located within the top portion of the contact structure and a second metal stack is located within the bottom portion of the contact structure. A width of the bottom portion of the contact structure is greater than a minimum width of the top portion of the contact structure.
