    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate having two different topography areas adjacent to each other. A step-forming material (SFM) is deposited over the substrate. A patterned SFM is formed in the low topography area of the two areas. The formation of the patterned SFM provides a fairly planar surface across over the substrate.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate to a method for processing a workpiece. In the method, a first photoresist layer is provided over the workpiece, wherein the first photoresist layer has a first photoresist tone. The first photoresist layer is patterned to provide a first opening exposing a first portion of the workpiece. A second photoresist layer is then provided over the patterned first photoresist layer, wherein the second photoresist layer has a second photoresist tone opposite the first photoresist tone. The second photoresist layer is then patterned to provide a second opening that at least partially overlaps the first opening to define a coincidentally exposed workpiece region. A treatment is then performed on the coincidentally exposed workpiece region. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method is described including forming a first photoresist feature and a second photoresist feature on a semiconductor substrate. A chemical material coating is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The chemical material coating interposes the first and second photoresist features. The semiconductor substrate is then rinsed; the rinsing removes the chemical material coating from the semiconductor substrate. The chemical material may mix with a residue disposed on the substrate between the first and second photoresist features. Removing the chemical material coating from the substrate may also remove the residue.

    摘要: A method includes forming a plurality of image sensors on a front side of a semiconductor substrate, and forming a dielectric layer on a backside of the semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer is over the semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer is patterned into a plurality of grid-filling regions, wherein each of the plurality of grid-filling regions overlaps one of the plurality of image sensors. A metal layer is formed on top surfaces and sidewalls of the plurality of grid-filling regions. The metal layer is etched to remove horizontal portions of the metal layer, wherein vertical portions of the metal layer remain after the step of etching to form a metal grid. A transparent material is filled into grid openings of the metal grid.
