    摘要: Techniques are disclosed that enable improved shorting margin between unlanded conductive interconnect features and neighboring conductive features. In some embodiments, an etch may be applied to an insulator layer having one or more conductive features therein, such that the insulator layer is recessed below the top of the conductive features and the edges of the conductive features are rounded or otherwise softened. A conformal etch stop layer may then be deposited over the conductive features and the insulator material. A second insulator layer may be deposited above the conformal etch stop layer, and an interconnect feature may pass through the second insulator layer and the conformal etch stop layer to connect with the rounded portion of one of the conductive features. In some embodiments, the interconnect feature is an unlanded via and the unlanded portion of the via may or may not penetrate through the conformal barrier layer.

    摘要: A method is described that adjusts the position of a item and sets a tilt angle for each of a plurality of micro-mirrors of a digital micro-mirror device. The setting of the tilt angles is to establish a filter within the optical channel of an inspection tool that inspects the item. The filter is to reduce noise received at an optical detection device. The tilt angle settings are a function of the position. The method also includes comparing information from the optical detection device that describes an inspected region of the item's surface against an expected version of the information.

    摘要: A method of processing a substrate. The method comprises flowing a supercritical fluid and a co-solvent across a substrate placed in a pressure tight vessel and applying a sonic energy to a surface of the substrate. The sonic energy can be an ultrasonic energy or a megasonic energy. The use of supercritical fluid and sonic energy can be used to clean a substrate, condition a surface of a substrate, to etch a substrate, to etch metal, to deliver materials to trenches and cavaties, and to selectively remove a polysilicon layer.

    摘要: A basic supercritical solution formulated to include at least one supercritical fluid and a base may be used to quench a photo-generated acid within a photoresist as well as develop the photoresist. The base may be the supercritical fluid in the basic supercritical solution. A super critical fluid is a state of matter above the critical temperature and pressure (Tc and Pc). A basic supercritical solution formulated to include at least one supercritical fluid has a low viscosity and surface tension and is capable of penetrating narrow features having high aspect ratios and the photoresist material due to the gas-like nature of the supercritical fluid.
