    摘要: A photomask for use in a lithographic process and a method of making a photomask are disclosed. A mask blank including a substrate, a sacrificial conductive layer disposed over the substrate and a radiation shielding layer disposed over the sacrificial conductive layer can be provided. Structures are then formed from the radiation shielding layer to define a pattern. Measurement of parameters associated with the structures are made with a measurement tool and, during the measuring, the sacrificial conductive layer provides a conductive plane to dissipate charge transferred to the mask by the measurement tool.

    摘要: An exemplary Full Phase patterning method involves patterning gates to increase process margins from conventional methods. This technique can define all poly patterns with a phase mask, using only a field or trim mask to resolve conflicts in the phase mask. The trim mask exposes a series of lines that either separates the different phase areas where patterns not desired or minimizes the range of sizes of the phase patterns next to a critical gate area.

    摘要: A method for making frontside contact to a substrate through an SOI structure thereon is provided. An etching step is undertaken to form a trench in the SOI structure so as to expose and define a rug surface of the substrate. Then, a thin insulating layer, for example SiO2, is formed over the exposed surface of the substrate, this insulating layer being irregular because of its formation over the relatively rough etched surface. Contact material is provided in the trench, and electrical potential is applied across the contact and substrate sufficient to increase the conductivity of the insulating layer, i.e., to break down the insulating layer. Nitrogen may be implanted into the exposed surface of the substrate to slow subsequent growth of the insulating layer, resulting in an even thinner insulating layer, i.e., one even less resistant to breakdown upon application of electrical potential thereacross. If the insulating layer thereon is sufficiently thin or irregular, ohmic contact may be achieved between the contact and substrate without the application of such electrical potential. In yet another embodiment, prior to formation of the insulating layer, the exposed surface of the substrate and wall of the trench are fabricated such that meet at an abrp angle. Insulating material formed in ths area is of poor quality, readily lending itself to breakdown upon application of electrical potential across the contact material and substrate.

    摘要: A method of forming either a gate pattern or a line pattern in a resist by using a dark field mask and a combination of a negative photoresist and a positive photoresist. The dark field mask is used to create a hole within the positive photoresist, by exposing only a portion of the positive photoresist to light, and then by subjecting the positive photoresist to a developer. The negative photoresist is formed within the hole of the positive photoresist, and etched or polished so that it is only disposed within the hole. The negative photoresist and the positive photoresist are subjected to a flood light exposure, and then to a developer. This causes the positive photoresist to dissolve, leaving the negative photoresist, thereby providing a very-small-dimension resist pattern that can be used to form either a gate or a line for a semiconductor device.
