    摘要: A hologram reticle and method of patterning a target. A layout pattern for an image to be transferred to a target is converted into a holographic representation of the image. A hologram reticle is manufactured that includes the holographic representation. The hologram reticle is then used to pattern the target. Three-dimensional patterns may be formed in a photoresist layer of the target in a single patterning step. These three-dimensional patterns may be filled to form three-dimensional structures or else used in a multi-surface imaging composition. The holographic representation of the image may also be transferred to a top photoresist layer of a top surface imaging (TSI) semiconductor device, either directly or using the hologram reticle. The top photoresist layer may then be used to pattern an underlying photoresist layer with the image. The lower photoresist layer is used to pattern a material layer of the device.

    摘要: A photomask set includes at least two masks that combine to form a device pattern in a semiconductor device. Orthogonal corners may be produced in a semiconductor device pattern to include one edge defined by a first mask and an orthogonal edge defined by a second mask. The mask set may include a first mask with compensation features and a second mask with void areas overlaying the compensation features when the first and second masks are aligned with one another, such that the compensation features are removed when patterns are successfully formed from the first and second masks. The compensation features alleviate proximity effects during the formation of device features.

    摘要: A method for forming a fully silicided gate is disclosed. A gate structure of a transistor device is provided on a substrate. A mask layer is spin-on coated over the substrate to cover the gate structure and source/drain regions of the transistor device. The mask layer is etched back to expose a silicon layer of the gate structure. The silicon layer of the gate structure is then fully silicided. The mask layer is then removed from the substrate to expose the source/drain regions. The source/drain regions are finally silicided.
