    摘要: A technique for fabricating a phase shift mask with multiple phase shifts by using self-aligned spacers to form phase shifting regions on a surface of a mask substrate. Three phase shifting regions are formed corresponding to 180.degree./120.degree./60.degree. phase shifts or delays on the surface of mask substrate. The three phase shifting regions are fabricated from three different dielectric materials, each having a different refractive indices. The first phase shifting region is formed by a photolithography technique, but the other two phase shifting regions are formed by the formation of self-aligned spacers. In an alternative technique, all three of the phase shifting regions are formed by the use of self-aligned spacers.

    摘要: A method for deforming a solid and avoiding the creation of self-intersecting solid structures in a topography simulator. In a topography simulated based on a solids modeling system, self-intersecting structures are solids which have boundaries that intersect. Such self-intersecting structures are invalid and cannot be processed. A general method for sweeping a solid surface to create a deformed solid and avoid the creation of self-intersecting solid structures is described, which include the steps of: providing a material solid with a surface represented as one or more segments; constructing a first segment solid for a first segment; performing a boolean set operation between the solid being swept and the first segment solid creating a temporary first solid; identifying a second segment; constructing a second segment solid for the second segment; and performing the boolean set operation between said temporary first solid and said first segment solid creating said deformed first solid. The case where simultaneous deposition and etch is occurring requires utilizes separate temporary deposition and etch solids for each segment both of which are swept to create the deformed solid.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory cell includes a substrate comprising a source, drain, and channel between the source and the drain. A tunnel dielectric layer overlies the channel, and a localized charge storage layer is disposed between the tunnel dielectric layer and a control dielectric layer. A gate electrode has a first surface adjacent to the control dielectric layer, and the first surface includes a midsection and two edge portions. According to one embodiment, the midsection defines a plane, and at least one edge portion extends away from the plane. Preferably, the edge portion extending away from the plane converges toward an opposing second surface of the gate electrode. According to another embodiment, the gate electrode of the nonvolatile memory cell includes a first sublayer and a second sublayer of a different width on the first sublayer.
