    摘要: An alignment mark design has a metal plateau and a metal material formed over a substrate. The metal plateau is within a first dielectric layer. Openings within a second dielectric layer above the first dielectric layer are filled with a metal material. The metal material and the second dielectric layer alternate so that a part of the exposure light passing through the second dielectric layer between sections of the metal material can be reflected into an alignment system by the metal plateau.

    摘要: A method provides for dicing a wafer having a base material with a diamond structure. The wafer first undergoes a polishing process, in which a predetermined portion of the wafer is polished away from its back side. The wafer is then diced through at least one line along a direction at a predetermined offset angle from a natural cleavage direction of the diamond structure. A wafer is produced with one or more dies formed thereon with at least one of its edges at an offset angle from a natural cleavage direction of a diamond structure of a base material forming the wafer. At least one dicing line has one or more protection elements for protecting the dies from undesired cracking while the wafer is being diced along the dicing line.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a microelectronic device includes forming a p-channel transistor on a silicon substrate by forming a poly gate structure over the substrate and forming a lightly doped source/drain region in the substrate. An oxide liner and nitride spacer are formed adjacent to opposing side walls of the poly gate structure and a recess is etched in the semiconductor substrate on opposing sides of the oxide liner. Raised SiGe source/drain regions are formed on either side of the oxide liner and slim spacers are formed over the oxide liner. A hard mask over the poly gate structure is used to protect the poly gate structure during the formation of the raised SiGe source/drain regions. A source/drain dopant is then implanted into the substrate including the SiGe regions.

    摘要: A method and system for isolation trenches includes forming isolation trenches in a semiconductor substrate, filling the trenches with a filler material, creating voids near top edges of the trenches and annealing by a gaseous ambient to reflow the edges of the trenches causing the edges to become rounded and overhang the trench. The filler material may be a dielectric. Transistors are then formed in close proximity to the trenches and may include source/drain regions formed in the rounded portion of the semiconductor substrate that overhangs the trench.
