    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes patterning a photoresist layer formed over a homogeneous semiconductor device layer to be etched; subjecting the semiconductor device to an implant process that selectively implants a sacrificial etch stop layer that is self-aligned in accordance with locations of features to be etched within the homogeneous semiconductor device layer, and at a desired depth for the features to be etched; etching a feature pattern defined by the patterned photoresist layer into the homogenous semiconductor device layer, stopping on the implanted sacrificial etch stop layer; and removing remaining portion of the implanted sacrificial etch stop layer prior to filling the etched feature pattern with a fill material.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. The structure includes (a) a substrate which includes semiconductor devices and (b) a first ILD (inter-level dielectric) layer on top of the substrate. The structure further includes N first actual metal lines in the first ILD layer, N being a positive integer. The N first actual metal lines are electrically connected to the semiconductor devices. The structure further includes first trenches in the first ILD layer. The first trenches are not completely filled with solid materials. If the first trenches are completely filled with first dummy metal lines, then (i) the first dummy metal lines are not electrically connected to any semiconductor device and (ii) the N first actual metal lines and the first dummy metal lines provide an essentially uniform pattern density of metal lines across the first ILD layer.

    摘要: A method of forming contacts for semiconductor devices, the method including depositing an inter-level dielectric (ILD) over a plurality of gate stacks, in which the divots within the inter-level dielectric layer are defined by the spaces between the gate stacks, filling the divots with an initial fill material, depositing a masking material on the dielectric over the gate stacks, and selectively etching the fill material to form contact vias. The fill material may be a self-assembly material such as a multi-block copolymer in which the blocks self organize vertically within the divots, so that a selective etch of the block material will remove the vertically organized blocks from the divot, but leave at least one block over the gate regions. In another embodiment, the fill material may be a metal, and the masking material may be a parylene based polymer.
