摘要:
Disclosed is a process for forming a film comprising a polysilane composition on a substrate. The film is formed by vapor deposition directly on a substrate, thus avoiding the cumbersome steps ordinarily encountered in preparing and applying polysilanes by conventional spin application techniques. The film is used in a lithographic process for forming an image on a substrate.

A semiconductor fabrication method. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure which includes (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, and (iii) a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is sandwiched between and electrically insulates the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode region. The semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric layer share a common interfacing surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interfacing surface and pointing from the semiconductor layer to the gate dielectric layer. Next, a resist layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode region. Next, a cap portion of the resist layer directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction is removed without removing any portion of the resist layer not directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction.

Disclosed are a semiconductor structure and a method that allow for simultaneous voltage/current conditioning of multiple memory elements in a nonvolatile memory device with multiple memory cells. The structure and method incorporate the use of a resistor connected in series with the memory elements to limit current passing through the memory elements. Specifically, the method and structure incorporate a blanket temporary series resistor on the wafer surface above the memory cells and/or permanent series resistors within the memory cells. During the conditioning process, these resistors protect the transition metal oxide in the individual memory elements from damage (i.e., burn-out), once it has been conditioned.
摘要:
Sublithographic contact apertures through a dielectric are formed in a stack of dielectric, hardmask and oxide-containing seed layer. An initial aperture through the seed layer receives a deposition of oxide by liquid phase deposition, which adheres selectively to the exposed vertical walls of the aperture in the seed layer. The sublithographic aperture, reduced in size by the thickness of the added material, defines a reduced aperture in the hardmask. The reduced hardmask then defines the sublithographic aperture through the dielectric.

A Y-shaped carbon nanotube atomic force microscope probe tip and methods comprise a shaft portion; a pair of angled arms extending from a same end of the shaft portion, wherein the shaft portion and the pair of angled arms comprise a chemically modified carbon nanotube, and wherein the chemically modified carbon nanotube is modified with any of an amine, carboxyl, fluorine, and metallic component. Preferably, each of the pair of angled arms comprises a length of at least 200 nm and a diameter between 10 and 200 nm. Moreover, the chemically modified carbon nanotube is preferably adapted to allow differentiation between substrate materials to be probed. Additionally, the chemically modified carbon nanotube is preferably adapted to allow fluorine gas to flow through the chemically modified carbon nanotube onto a substrate to be characterized. Furthermore, the chemically modified carbon nanotube is preferably adapted to chemically react with a substrate surface to be characterized.
