    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the formation of a hard-mask using lithographic techniques followed by a lateral oxidation process to reduce the lateral dimension of the hard-mask. The lateral oxidation is carried out by selectively oxidizing an oxidizable layer situated between an etch-stop layer and an oxidation resistant layer. Upon completion of the lateral oxidation process, etch-stop layer and the oxidation resistant are removed and a residual layer of oxidizable material is then used as a mask for the formation of a device component. The lateral dimension of the residual layer can be substantially less than that achievable by optical lithographic techniques.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the formation of a hard-mask using lithographic techniques, followed by an oxidation process to reduce the lateral dimension of the hard-mask. The oxidation process is carried out by selectively oxidizing an oxidizable layer overlying an etch-stop layer. Upon completion of the oxidation process, the etch-stop layer is removed and a residual layer of oxidizable material is then used as a mask for the formation of a device component. The lateral dimension of the residual layer can be substantially less than that achievable by optical lithographic techniques.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the formation of a hard-mask using lithographic techniques followed by a selective silicidation reaction process to reduce the lateral dimension of the hard-mask. The silicidation reaction is carried out by selectively reacting a reaction layer situated between an etch-stop layer and a reaction resistant layer. Upon completion of the chemical reaction process, the etch-stop layer and the reaction resistant layer is removed, and a residual layer of unreacted material is then used as a mask for the formation of a device component. The lateral dimension of the residual layer can be substantially less than that achievable by optical lithographic techniques.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the formation of a metal device feature layer using lithographic techniques, followed by an oxidation process to reduce the lateral dimension of the metal device feature. The oxidation process is carried out by selectively, laterally oxidizing the metal composition of the device feature that overlies a dielectric layer. The lateral oxidation process forms metal oxide sidewall spacers on the device feature. Upon completion of the oxidation process, the metal oxide sidewall spacers are removed and a residual layer of unoxidized metal remains. The lateral dimension of the residual layer can be substantially less than that achievable by optical lithographic techniques.
