    摘要: Methods for fabricating alternating phase shift masks or reticles used in semiconductor optical lithography systems. The methods generally include forming a layer of phase shift mask material on a handle substrate and patterning the layer to define recessed phase shift windows. The patterned layer is transferred from the handle wafer to a mask blank. The depth of the phase shift windows is determined by the thickness of the layer of phase shift mask material and is independent of the patterning process. In particular, the depth of the phase shift windows is not dependent upon the etch rate uniformity of an etch process across a surface of a mask blank.

    摘要: A dielectric in an integrated circuit is formed by creating oriented cylindrical voids in a conventional dielectric material. Preferably, voids are formed by first forming multiple relatively long, thin carbon nanotubes perpendicular to a surface of an integrated circuit wafer, depositing a conventional dielectric on the surface surrounding the carbon nanotubes, and then removing the carbon nanotubes to produce the voids. A layer of dielectric and voids thus formed can be patterned or otherwise processed using any of various conventional processes. Recesses formed in the dielectric for conductors are lined with a non-conformal dielectric film to seal the voids. The use of a conventional dielectric material having numerous air voids substantially reduces the dielectric constant, leaving a dielectric structure which is both structurally strong and can be constructed compatibly with conventional processes and materials.

    摘要: A conductive layer in an integrated circuit is formed as a sandwich having multiple sublayers, including at least one sublayer of oriented carbon nanotubes. The conductive layer sandwich preferably contains two sublayers of carbon nanotubes, in which the carbon nanotube orientation in one sublayer is substantially perpendicular to that of the other layer. The conductive layer sandwich preferably contains one or more additional sublayers of a conductive material, such as a metal. In one embodiment, oriented carbon nanotubes are created by forming a series of parallel surface ridges, covering the top and one side of the ridges with a catalyst inhibitor, and growing carbon nanotubes horizontally from the uncovered vertical sides of the ridges. In another embodiment, oriented carbon nanotubes are grown on the surface of a conductive material in the presence of a directional flow of reactant gases and a catalyst.

    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.
