    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes providing a substrate; forming a first hard mask layer over the substrate; forming a second hard mask layer over the first hard mask layer; patterning the second hard mask layer to form a hard mask; and, after the step of patterning the second hard mask layer, baking the substrate, the first hard mask layer, and the hard mask. After the step of baking, a spacer layer is formed, which includes a first portion on a top of the hard mask, and a second portion and a third portion on opposite sidewalls of the hard mask. The method further includes removing the first portion of the spacer layer; removing the hard mask; and using the second portion and the third portion of the spacer layer as masks to pattern the first hard mask layer.

In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming an oxide layer over a semiconductor substrate, and exposing the oxide layer to a first nitridation step to form a first nitrogen rich region. The first nitrogen rich region is disposed adjacent an interface between the oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate. After the first nitridation step, the oxide layer is exposed to a second nitridation step to form a second nitrogen rich region. A first gate electrode is formed on the oxide layer, wherein the second nitrogen rich region is disposed adjacent an interface between the oxide layer and the first gate electrode.

    摘要: A method includes performing a grinding to a backside of a semiconductor substrate, wherein a remaining portion of the semiconductor substrate has a back surface. A treatment is then performed on the back surface using a method selected from the group consisting essentially of a dry treatment and a plasma treatment. Process gases that are used in the treatment include oxygen (O2). The plasma treatment is performed without vertical bias in a direction perpendicular to the back surface.

The array region contains a plurality of radiation-sensitive pixels. The black level correction region contains one or more reference pixels. The substrate has a front side and a back side. The image sensor device includes a first compressively-stressed layer formed on the back side of the substrate. The first compressively-stressed layer contains silicon oxide, and is negatively charged. The second compressively-stressed layer contains silicon nitride, and is negatively charged. A metal shield is formed over at least a portion of the black level correction region. The image sensor device includes a third compressively-stressed layer formed on the metal shield and the second compressively-stressed layer. The third compressively-stressed layer contains silicon oxide. A sidewall of the metal shield is protected by the third compressively-stressed layer.
