摘要:
Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include steps to selectively widen portions of a mask pattern extending adjacent an outer edge of a semiconductor wafer. These steps to selectively widen portions of the mask pattern are performed so that more uniform center-to-edge critical dimensions (CD) can be achieved when the mask pattern is used to support photolithographically patterning of underlying layers (e.g., insulating layers, antireflective coatings, etc.).

Methods for manufacturing semiconductor devices are disclosed. One preferred embodiment is a method of processing a semiconductor device. The method includes providing a workpiece having a material layer to be patterned disposed thereon. A masking material is formed over the material layer of the workpiece. The masking material includes a lower portion and an upper portion disposed over the lower portion. The upper portion of the masking material is patterned with a first pattern. A polymer material is disposed over the masking material. The masking material and the polymer layer are used to pattern the material layer of the workpiece.

摘要:
Integrated circuit transistors may be fabricated by simultaneously removing a photoresist layer on a first active area of an integrated circuit substrate and a carbon-containing layer on a second active area of the integrated circuit substrate, to expose a nitride stress-generating layer on the second active area. A single mask may be used to define the second active area for removal of the photoresist layer on the first active area and for implanting source/drain regions into the second active area.

Methods for manufacturing semiconductor devices are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a method of processing a semiconductor device includes providing a workpiece, the workpiece comprising a material layer to be patterned disposed thereon. A hard mask is formed over the material layer. A first pattern is formed in the hard mask and an upper portion of the material layer using a first etch process. A second pattern is formed in the hard mask and the upper portion of the material layer using a second etch process, the second pattern being different than the first pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern are formed in a lower portion of the material layer using a third etch process and using the hard mask as a mask.

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. A plurality of features is formed on a workpiece, the plurality of features being located in a first region and a second region of the workpiece. Features in the first region have a first lateral dimension, and features in the second region have a second lateral dimension, wherein the second lateral dimension is greater than the first lateral dimension. The first region is masked, and the second lateral dimension of features in the second region is reduced.
