    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: 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.
