摘要:
A system and method for reducing cross-talk in complementary metal oxide semiconductor back side illuminated image sensors is provided. An embodiment comprises forming a grid around the pixel regions on an opposite side of the substrate than metallization layers. The grid may be formed of a material such as tungsten with a (110)-rich crystalline orientation. This orientation helps prevents defects that can occur during patterning of the grid.

A method of removing a hard mask during fabrication of semiconductor devices is provided. A protective layer, such as a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) layer or other dielectric layer, is formed over structures formed on a substrate, wherein spacers are formed alongside the structures. In an embodiment, the structures are gate electrodes having a hard mask formed thereon and the spacers are spacers formed alongside the gate electrodes. A photoresist layer is formed over the protective layer, and the photoresist layer may be patterned to remove a portion of the photoresist layer over portions of the protective layer. Thereafter, an etch-back process is performed, such that the protective layer adjacent to the spacers remains to substantially protect the spacers. The hard mask is then removed while the protective layer protects the spacers.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for integrated circuits. An exemplary integrated circuit (IC) method includes providing an IC design layout that includes a design feature; determining a dimensional difference between the design feature and a corresponding developed photoresist feature of a photoresist layer; modifying the CD of the design feature to compensate for the difference, thereby generating a modified IC design layout; and making a mask using the modified IC design layout.

A control pad is split into two sections for output one of three signals selected from the group consisted of 00, 01, and 11 on an integrated circuit. Each section is internally connected to different voltage sources, say Vdd which represents logical “1”, or Vss which represents logical “0”, so that a default output is 1,0. When the split control pad is bonded with outside Vdd or Vss, both sections output “1,1” or “0,0” respectively. One of three possible logic word combinations can be selected to use for an IC.

A method for fabricating an integrated circuit device is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate; forming a semiconductor feature over the substrate; forming a first photoresist layer over the substrate; performing a lithography process on the first photoresist layer, such the first photoresist layer includes an opening therein that exposes the semiconductor feature; performing a stabilization process on the first photoresist layer; forming a second photoresist layer over the first photoresist layer, wherein the second photoresist layer fills the opening; and etching back the first and second photoresist layers until the semiconductor feature is exposed.

More than one memory areas are connected in parallel to increase the memory capacity when activated. The different memory area in a single unit die is activated by a selector pad which controls a single-pole, double throw switch to enable or disable the different memory areas. The corresponding pads of like memory areas are interconnected.
