摘要： A semiconductor fabrication method. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure which includes (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, and (iii) a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is sandwiched between and electrically insulates the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode region. The semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric layer share a common interfacing surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interfacing surface and pointing from the semiconductor layer to the gate dielectric layer. Next, a resist layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode region. Next, a cap portion of the resist layer directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction is removed without removing any portion of the resist layer not directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction.

摘要： Sublithographic contact apertures through a dielectric are formed in a stack of dielectric, hardmask and oxide-containing seed layer. An initial aperture through the seed layer receives a deposition of oxide by liquid phase deposition, which adheres selectively to the exposed vertical walls of the aperture in the seed layer. The sublithographic aperture, reduced in size by the thickness of the added material, defines a reduced aperture in the hardmask. The reduced hardmask then defines the sublithographic aperture through the dielectric.

摘要： Conductive sidewall spacer structures are formed using a method that patterns structures (mandrels) and activates the sidewalls of the structures. Metal ions are attached to the sidewalls of the structures and these metal ions are reduced to form seed material. The structures are then trimmed and the seed material is plated to form wiring on the sidewalls of the structures.

摘要： A structure fabrication method. The method comprises providing a structure which comprises (a) a to-be-etched layer, (b) a memory region, (c) a positioning region, (d) and a capping region on top of one another. Then, the positioning region is indented. Then, a conformal protective layer is formed on exposed-to-ambient surfaces of the structure. Then, portions of the conformal protective layer are removed so as to expose the capping region to the surrounding ambient without exposing the memory region to the surrounding ambient. Then, the capping region is removed so as to expose the positioning region to the surrounding ambient. Then, the positioning region is removed so as to expose the memory region to the surrounding ambient. Then, the memory region is directionally etched with remaining portions of the conformal protection layer serving as a blocking mask.
