    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming an opening in a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed and substantially conformal to the opening. A sacrificial structure is formed within the opening, covering a portion of the dielectric layer. A portion of the dielectric layer is removed by using the sacrificial structure as an etch mask layer. The sacrificial structure is removed.

    摘要: A method for planarizing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate having at least one opening therein, each opening defining a lower portion and an upper portion; coating a light sensitive material layer over the substrate, the light sensitive material layer covering the lower and upper portions of the at least one opening; etching back the light sensitive material layer to expose the upper portion of the at least one opening; repeating the steps of coating and etching to remove a predetermined amount below the upper portion of the at least one opening; depositing an insulating layer over the substrate; and planarizing the insulating layer until the upper portion of the at least one opening is exposed.

    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.
