    摘要: A semiconductor device has a structure of contacts whose size and pitch are finer that those that can be produced under the resolution provided by conventional photolithography. The contact structure includes a semiconductor substrate, an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the substrate, annular spacers situated in the interlayer insulating layer, first contacts surrounded by the spacers, and a second contact buried in the interlayer insulating layer between each adjacent pair of the first spacers. The contact structure is formed by forming first contact holes in the interlayer insulating layer, forming the spacers over the sides of the first contact holes to leave second contact holes within the first contact holes, etching the interlayer insulating layer from between the spacers using the first spacers as an etch mask to form third contact holes, and filling the first and second contact holes with conductive material. In this way, the pitch of the contacts can be half that of the first contact holes.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of forming a pattern. A first organic polymer layer is formed on a substrate on which an underlying layer, and then a second organic polymer layer, which has an opening partially exposing the first organic polymer layer, is formed on the first organic polymer layer. Next, a silicon-containing polymer layer is formed on the second organic polymer layer to cover the opening. The silicon-containing polymer layer is oxidized and simultaneously the second organic polymer layer and the first organic polymer layer are ashed by oxygen plasma to form a pattern having an anisotropy-shape. The underlying layer is etched using the silicon-containing polymer layer and the first organic polymer layer as an etching mask to form a pattern.

    摘要: Mask sets are provided which may be used to define a first pattern region that has a first pitch pattern and a second pattern region that has a second pitch pattern during the fabrication of a semiconductor device. These mask sets may include a first mask that has a first exposure region in which a first halftone pattern defines the first pattern region and a first screen region in which a first shield layer covers the second pattern region. These mask sets may further include a second mask that has a second exposure region in which a second halftone pattern defines the second pattern region and a second screen region in which a second shield layer covers the first pattern region. The second shield layer also extends from the second screen region to cover a portion of the second halftone pattern.

    摘要: A photomask for measuring lens aberration, a method of manufacturing the photomask, and a method of measuring lens aberration using the photomask are provided. In an embodiment, the photomask includes a transparent substrate having first and second surfaces. A reference pattern group and an encoded pattern group are formed on the second surface of the transparent substrate, spaced apart from each other. An aperture that includes a Fresnel zone is formed to face the second surface on the second surface of the transparent substrate. Light throughput and measurement efficiency are improved.
