摘要:
Methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices and methods of optical proximity correction methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes determining an amount of reactive ion etch (RIE) lag of a RIE process for a material layer of the semiconductor device, and adjusting a size of at least one pattern for a feature of the material layer by an adjustment amount to partially compensate for the amount of RIE lag determined.
摘要:
A method of preventing resist line collapse in damascene structures and a structure thereof is disclosed. A damascene pattern for resist lines is enhanced with ribs extending therefrom. The ribs provide mechanical support for resist lines and improve the lithography process for forming the resist lines, particularly when a negative focus is used. The ribs may extend between vias in an underlying material layer. The method results in structurally strong resist lines for damascene structures that are less likely to collapse.
