摘要： A method of manufacturing semiconductor structures is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first mask is provided above a substrate. The first mask includes first mask lines extending along a first axis. A second mask is provided above the first mask. The second mask includes second mask lines extending along a second axis that intersects the first axis. At least one of the first and second masks is formed by a pitch fragmentation method. Structures may be formed in the substrate, wherein the first and the second mask are effective as a combined mask. The structures may be equally spaced at a pitch in the range of a minimum lithographic feature size for repetitive line structures.

摘要： Spacers are formed on sidewalls of striplike parts of a pattern layer of periodic structure. The pattern layer is removed, and the spacers are covered with a further spacer layer, which is then structured to second sidewall spacers. Gaps between the spacers are filled with a complementary layer. The upper surface is planarized to a lower surface level, leaving a periodic succession of the first spacers, the second spacers and the residual parts of the complementary layer. The lateral dimensions are adapted in such a manner that a removal of one or two of the remaining layers renders a periodic pattern of smaller pitch.

摘要： The bit lines are produced by an implantation of a dopant by means of a sacrificial hard mask layer, which is later replaced with the gate electrodes formed of polysilicon in the memory cell array. Striplike areas of the memory cell array, which run transversely to the bit lines, are reserved by a blocking layer to be occupied by the bit line contacts. In these areas, the hard mask is used to form contact holes, which are self-aligned with the implanted buried bit lines. Between the blocked areas, the word lines are arranged normally to the bit lines.

摘要： A first hardmask layer is provided over a substrate, and a second hardmask layer is provided over the first hardmask layer. The second hardmask layer is patterned to form a second hardmask structure having sidewalls. A sacrificial layer of a sacrificial material is conformally deposited such that the deposited sacrificial layer has substantially horizontal and vertical portions. The horizontal portions of the sacrificial layer are removed to form lines of the sacrificial material adjacent to the sidewalls of the second hardmask lines. The sacrificial layer is at least partially removed to structure the sacrificial material and the remaining sacrificial layer is used to structure the first hardmask. The second hardmask structures is removed to uncover portions of the first hardmask. Uncovered portions of the substrate are etched, thereby forming structures in the substrate below the first hardmask.

摘要： Final sections of the word lines are arranged in a staggered fashion to fan out and have larger lateral extensions than the word lines. Interspaces are filled with a dielectric material, and a mask is applied that partially covers the final sections and leaves contact areas in regions adjacent to the final sections and to the interspaces open. This mask is used to remove the dielectric material between the word line stacks. A second word line layer is applied and planarized to form second word lines between the first word lines, which have contact areas arranged in a staggered fashion to fan out like the final sections of the first word lines.
