    摘要: The invention includes methods of forming isolation regions for semiconductor constructions. A hard mask can be formed and patterned over a semiconductor substrate, with the patterned hard mask exposing a region of the substrate. Such exposed region can be etched to form a first opening having a first width. The first opening is narrowed with a conformal layer of carbon-containing material. The conformal layer is punched through to expose substrate along a bottom of the narrowed opening. The exposed substrate is removed to form a second opening which joins to the first opening, and which has a second width less than the first width. The carbon-containing material is then removed from within the first opening, and electrically insulative material is formed within the first and second openings. The electrically insulative material can substantially fill the first opening, and leave a void within the second opening.

    摘要: Some embodiments include formation of polymer spacers along sacrificial material, removal of the sacrificial material, and utilization of the polymer spacers as masks during fabrication of integrated circuitry. The polymer spacer masks may, for example, be utilized to pattern flash gates of a flash memory array. In some embodiments, the polymer is simultaneously formed across large sacrificial structures and small sacrificial structures. The polymer is thicker across the large sacrificial structures than across the small sacrificial structures, and such difference in thickness is utilized to fabricate high density structures and low-density structures with a single photomask.
