A method and apparatus for simultaneously removing conductive materials from a microelectronic substrate. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes contacting a surface of a microelectronic substrate with an electrolytic liquid, the microelectronic substrate having first and second different conductive materials. The method can further include controlling a difference between a first open circuit potential of the first conducive material and a second open circuit potential of the second conductive material by selecting a pH of the electrolytic liquid. The method can further include simultaneously removing at least portions of the first and second conductive materials by passing a varying electrical signal through the electrolytic liquid and the conductive materials. Accordingly, the effects of galvanic interactions between the two conductive materials can be reduced and/or eliminated.

A method for fabricating a patterned structure in a semiconductor device is provided. First, a substrate with a first region and a second region is provided. Then, a plurality of sacrificial patterns is respectively formed within the first region and the second region. A first spacer is then formed on the sidewalls of each of the sacrificial patterns followed by forming a mask layer to cover the sacrificial patterns located within the first region. Finally, the first spacer exposed from the mask layer is trimmed to be a second spacer and the mask layer is then removed.

In order to suppress generation of waste matter which results from removing a backside film formed by growing a film on both surfaces of a semiconductor substrate and thereby attain satisfactorily high yield and productivity, on a semiconductor substrate 301, a polycrystalline silicon film 303 is formed through double-sided growth, and only on the obverse surface of the semiconductor substrate 301 a silicide film 304 is formed thereon, and then those polycrystalline silicon film 303 and silicide film 304 are worked into shape to form gate electrodes 303a. After that, on the semiconductor substrate 301, an insulating film for sidewall formation is formed to cover the gate electrodes 303a through double-sided growth, and the insulating film for sidewall formation formed on the obverse surface of the semiconductor substrate 301 is etched to form sidewall films. Only on the obverse surface side of the semiconductor substrate 301, an interlayer insulating film is formed to cover the gate electrodes 303a, and thereafter the polycrystalline silicon film 303 and the insulating film for sidewall formation, both of which are formed on the reverse surface side of the semiconductor substrate 301, as well as a part of said semiconductor substrate 301 in depth from the reverse surface are removed by grinding, whereby a semiconductor device is fabricated.
摘要:
A method for removing a portion of an upper layer of one material from an underlying layer of another material to form a uniformly planar surface on a semiconductor wafer. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an upper section of the upper layer is etched to an intermediate point in the upper layer. The etching step removes the upper section of the upper layer and leaves only a lower section of the upper layer on the wafer. The lower section of the upper layer is then planarized to a final endpoint. The etching step preferably moves the majority of the upper layer from the wafer so that the remaining portion of the upper layer is thick enough to allow the planarization step to produce a uniformly planar finished surface on the wafer.

A method for forming a platen useful for forming nanoscale wires for device applications comprises: (a) providing a substrate having a major surface; (b) forming a plurality of alternating layers of two dissimilar materials on the substrate to form a stack having a major surface parallel to that of the substrate; (c) cleaving the stack normal to its major surface to expose the plurality of alternating layers; and (d) etching the exposed plurality of alternating layers to a chosen depth using an etchant that etches one material at a different rate than the other material to thereby provide the surface with extensive strips of indentations and form the platen useful for molding masters for nano-imprinting technology. The pattern of the platen is then imprinted into a substrate comprising a softer material to form a negative of the pattern, which is then used in further processing to form nanowires. The nanoscale platen thus comprises a plurality of alternating layers of the two dissimilar materials, with the layers of one material etched relative the layers of the other material to form indentations of the one material. The platen is then oriented such that the indentations are perpendicular to a surface to be imprinted.
