摘要： A low-k dielectric material for use in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, semiconductor structures using the low-k dielectric material, and methods of forming such dielectric materials and fabricating such structures. The low-k dielectric material comprises carbon nanostructures, like carbon nanotubes or carbon buckyballs, that are characterized by an insulating electronic state. The carbon nanostructures may be converted to the insulating electronic state either before or after a layer containing the carbon nanostructures is formed on a substrate. One approach for converting the carbon nanostructures to the insulating electronic state is fluorination.

摘要： A combined wide-image and loop-cutter pattern is provided for both cutting and forming a wide-image section to a hard mask on a substrate formed by sidewall imaging techniques in a reduced number of photolithographic steps. A single mask is formed which provides a wide mask section while additionally providing a mask to protect the critical edges of an underlying hard mask during hard mask etching. After the hard mask is cut into sections, the protective portions of the follow-on mask are removed to expose the critical edges of the underlying hard mask while maintaining shapes necessary for defining wide-image sections. Thus, the hard mask cutting, hard mask critical edge protecting, and large area mask may be formed in a reduced number of steps.

摘要： A method for fabricating a metal-oxide-semiconductor device structure. The method includes introducing a dopant species concurrently into a semiconductor active layer that overlies an insulating layer and a gate electrode overlying the semiconductor active layer by ion implantation. The thickness of the semiconductor active layer, the thickness of the gate electrode, and the kinetic energy of the dopant species are chosen such that the projected range of the dopant species in the semiconductor active layer and insulating layer lies within the insulating layer and a projected range of the dopant species in the gate electrode lies within the gate electrode. As a result, the semiconductor active layer and the gate electrode may be doped simultaneously during a single ion implantation and without the necessity of an additional implant mask.

摘要： A method for forming carbon nanotube field effect transistors, arrays of carbon nanotube field effect transistors, and device structures and arrays of device structures formed by the methods. The methods include forming a stacked structure including a gate electrode layer and catalyst pads each coupled electrically with a source/drain contact. The gate electrode layer is divided into multiple gate electrodes and at least one semiconducting carbon nanotube is synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition process on each of the catalyst pads. The completed device structure includes a gate electrode with a sidewall covered by a gate dielectric and at least one semiconducting carbon nanotube adjacent to the sidewall of the gate electrode. Source/drain contacts are electrically coupled with opposite ends of the semiconducting carbon nanotube to complete the device structure. Multiple device structures may be configured either as a memory circuit or as a logic circuit.
