    摘要: An opening in a substrate is formed, e.g., using optical lithography, with the opening having sidewalls whose cross section is given by segments that are contoured and convex. The cross section of the opening may be given by overlapping circular regions, for example. The sidewalls adjoin at various points, where they define protrusions. A layer of polymer including a block copolymer is applied over the opening and the substrate, and allowed to self-assemble. Discrete, segregated domains form in the opening, which are removed to form holes, which can be transferred into the underlying substrate. The positions of these domains and their corresponding holes are directed to predetermined positions by the sidewalls and their associated protrusions. The distances separating these holes may be greater or less than what they would be if the block copolymer (and any additives) were to self-assemble in the absence of any sidewalls.

    摘要: A method and a computer system for designing an optical photomask for forming a prepattern opening in a photoresist layer on a substrate wherein the photoresist layer and the prepattern opening are coated with a self-assembly material that undergoes directed self-assembly to form a directed self-assembly pattern. The methods includes: generating a mask design shape from a target design shape; generating a sub-resolution assist feature design shape based on the mask design shape; using a computer to generate a prepattern shape based on the sub-resolution assist feature design shape; and using a computer to evaluate if a directed self-assembly pattern of the self-assembly material based on the prepattern shape is within specified ranges of dimensional and positional targets of the target design shape on the substrate.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming a semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a set of shapes on top of a substrate; applying a layer of copolymer covering the substrate; causing the copolymer to form a plurality of cylindrical blocks both inside and outside the shapes; forming a pattern of contact holes from the plurality of cylindrical blocks; and transferring the pattern of contact holes to the substrate to form the semiconductor structure. In one embodiment, the shapes are rings and forming the set of shapes includes forming a set of rings that are equally and squarely spaced. In another embodiment, causing the copolymer to form the plurality of cylindrical blocks includes forming only one cylindrical block inside each of the rings and only one cylindrical block outside every four (4) squarely neighboring rings.
