    摘要: A method of generating a metrology recipe includes identifying regions of interest within a device layout. A coordinate list, which corresponds to the identified regions of interest, can be provided and used to create a clipped layout, which can be represented by a clipped layout data file. The clipped layout data file and corresponding coordinate list can be provided and converted into a metrology recipe for guiding one or more metrology instruments in testing a processed wafer and/or reticle. The experimental metrology results received in response to the metrology request can be linked to corresponding design data and simulation data and stored in a queriable database system.

    摘要: A method of forming a plurality of contact holes of varying pitch and density in a contact layer of an integrated circuit device is provided. The plurality of contact holes can include a plurality of regularly spaced contact holes having a first pitch along a first direction and a plurality of semi-isolated contact holes having a second pitch along a second direction. A double-dipole illumination source can transmit light energy through a mask having a pattern corresponding to a desired contact hole pattern. The double-dipole illumination source can include a first dipole aperture, which is oriented and optimized for patterning the regularly spaced contact holes, and a second dipole aperture, which is oriented substantially orthogonal to the first dipole aperture and optimized for patterning the plurality of semi-isolated contact holes. The contact layer can be etched using the patterned photoresist layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a photomask having a pellicle on a photomask substrate that facilitates accurate measurement of a critical dimension on the photomask, without requiring removal of the pellicle from the photomask substrate. A first pattern is transferred onto the photomask substrate in a first area, and at least one test pattern is transferred onto the photomask substrate outside of the first area. The pellicle is attached to the photomask substrate, wherein the pellicle covers the first area, but does not cover the at least one test pattern.

    摘要: A method of forming a contact in a flash memory device is disclosed. The method increases the depth of focus margin and the overlay margin between the contact and the stacked gate layers. A plurality of stacked gate layers are formed on a semiconductor substrate, wherein each stacked gate layer extends in a predefined direction and is substantially parallel to other stacked gate layers. An interlayer insulating layer is deposited over the plurality of stacked gate layers, and a contact hole is patterned between a first stacked gate layer of the plurality of stacked gate layers and a second stacked gate layer of the plurality of stacked gate layers. The contact hole is formed in an elongated shape, wherein a major axis of the contact hole is substantially parallel to the stacked gate layers. A conductive layer is deposited in the contact hole and excess conductive material is removed.
