摘要: A patterning method includes the following steps. A hard mask layer is formed on a substrate. Mandrels are formed on the hard mask layer. Mask patterns are formed on the mandrels. Each of the mask patterns is formed on one of the mandrels. Spacers are formed on the hard mask layer. Each of the spacers is formed on a sidewall of one of the mandrels and on a sidewall of one of the mask patterns. A cover layer covering the hard mask layer, the spacers and the mask patterns is formed. A planarization process is performed to remove the cover layer on the mask patterns and the spacer and remove the mask patterns. A part of the cover layer remains between the spacers after the planarization process. The mandrels and the cover layer are removed after the planarization process.

摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor device. First, providing a substrate, and an STI is forming in the substrate to define a plurality of active regions. Then a first etching process is performed to form a bit line contact opening, which is corresponding to one of the active regions. A second etching process is performed to remove a part of the active region and its adjacent STI so a top surface of active region is higher than a top surface of the STI. Next, a bit line contact is formed in the opening. The present invention further provides a semiconductor structure.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure is disclosed. A substrate is provided with a pad metal and a fuse metal formed thereon. A liner and an etching stop layer are formed at least covering a top surface of the fuse metal. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and a passivation layer is formed over the dielectric layer. A pad opening and a fuse opening are defined in the passivation layer. A first etching step is performed to remove the dielectric layer from the pad opening and the fuse opening to expose a top surface of the pad metal from the pad opening and an upper surface of the etching stop layer from the fuse opening respectively. A second etching step is performed to remove the etching stop layer from the fuse opening until an upper surface of the liner is exposed.

摘要: A method of fabricating an isolation structure is provided. A first oxide layer and a first, second, and third hard mask layers are formed on a substrate. A patterned third hard mask layer is formed. Second oxide layers are formed on sidewalls of the patterned third hard mask layer and a fourth hard mask layer is formed between the second oxide layers. The second oxide layers and the second hard mask layer are removed using the patterned third hard mask layer and the fourth hard mask layer as a mask, to form a patterned second hard mask layer. The patterned third hard mask layer and the fourth hard mask layer are removed. A portion of the patterned second hard mask layer is removed to form trench patterns. A patterned first hard mask layer and first oxide layer, and trenches located in the substrate are defined. An isolation material is formed.

摘要: The present invention pertains to a patterning method. By taking advantage of the etching loading effect due to different pattern densities in the memory cell region and the peripheral region, the first hard mask is not masked when anisotropically etching the first hard mask within the memory cell region.
