    摘要: A feed forward method for forming within a microelectronic fabrication a patterned target layer with controlled critical dimension (CD) first provides a substrate having formed thereover a blanket target layer, in turn having formed thereover a blanket anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer, in turn having formed thereover a paltered photoresist layer. There is then established a correlation which describes an interrelation between the patterned photoresist layer linewidth and a plasma species concentration within a plasma for forming from the blanket anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer a patterned anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer such that a patterned target layer subsequently formed from the blanket target layer is formed with a patterned target layer measured linewidth closer to a patterned target layer target linewidth The linewidth of the patterned photoresist layer is then measured and there is determined a deviation of the patterned photoresist measured linewidth from a patterned photoresist layer target linewidth. The plasma species concentration is then adjusted when etching the blanket anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer to form the patterned anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer such that the patterned target layer may be formed with the patterned target layer measured linewidth closer to a patterned target layer target linewidth.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices using separate periphery and cell region etching steps are provided. A substrate is provided, wherein the substrate has a cell region and a periphery region separated by a shallow trench isolation (STI). The STI is filled with a dielectric material. A protective layer is formed on the periphery region, allowing semiconductor structures to be formed in the cell region without damaging the surface of the periphery region. Upon forming the semiconductor structures in the cell region, a portion of the dielectric material in the STI adjacent to the cell region is partially removed. The dielectric material adjacent to the periphery region is substantially unetched.
