    摘要: Disclosed are methods and devices for targeting CD of selected transistors in a semiconductor device. Varying CD is done by forming hard mask lines in a hard mask layer that have varying amounts of spacer material associated therewith. Hard mask lines corresponding to selected transistors are either left covered or uncovered by a resist applied over the hard mask layer. Then, spacer material is selectively removed from the hard mask lines to vary the width of hard mask lines and associated side wall spacers. A gate layer is then etched through the spaces in the hard mask lines to form gate lines having varying widths and targeted CD.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a memory device forms a first dielectric layer over a substrate, forms a charge storage layer over the first dielectric layer, forms a second dielectric layer over the charge storage layer, and forms a control gate layer over the second dielectric layer. The method also forms a hard mask layer over the control gate layer, forms a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) layer over the hard mask layer, and provides an etch chemistry that includes tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and trifluoromethane (CHF3) to etch at least the control gate layer.

    摘要: The present invention is a semiconductor contact formation system and method. Contact insulation regions are formed with multiple etch stop sublayers that facilitate formation of contacts. This contact formation process provides relatively small substrate connections while addressing critical lithographic printing limitation concerns in forming contact holes with small dimensions. In one embodiment, a multiple etch stop insulation layer comprising multiple etch stop layers is deposited. A contact region is formed in the multiple etch stop insulation layer by selectively removing (e.g., etching) some of the multiple etch stop insulation layer. In one embodiment, a larger portion of the multiple etch stop insulation layer is removed close to the metal layer and a smaller portion is removed closer to the substrate. The different contact region widths are achieved by performing multiple etching processes controlled by the multiple etch stop layers in the multiple etch stop insulation layer and spacer formation to shrink contact size at a bottom portion. Electrical conducting material (e.g., tungsten) is deposited in the contact region.

    摘要: The present invention facilitates dual bit memory devices and operation of dual bit memory device by providing systems and methods that employ a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner during fabrication, instead of a relatively thick TEOS layer that is conventionally used. Employment of the relatively thin liner facilitates dual bit memory device operation by mitigating charge loss and contact resistance while providing protection against unwanted dopant diffusion. The present invention includes utilizing a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner that is formed on wordlines and portions of a charge trapping dielectric layer. The relatively thin undoped TEOS liner is formed with a thickness of less than about 400 Angstroms so that contact resistance and charge loss are improved and yet providing suitable protection for operation of the device. Additionally, the present invention includes foregoing with an undoped TEOS liner altogether.
