    摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit structure implants a first-type of channel implant in a first area of a substrate and implants a second-type of channel implant in a second area of the substrate. The method forms at least one first gate conductor above the first area of the substrate and forms at least one second gate conductor above the second area of the substrate. The method forms a hard mask over the first gate conductor, the second gate conductor, and the substrate. The hard mask comprises an oxide or a nitride and patterns an organic photoresist over the hard mask, to leave the organic photoresist on areas of the hard mask that are above the first area of the substrate. The method removes portions of the hard mask not protected by the organic photoresist to leave the hard mask on the first area of the substrate and not on the second area of the substrate. The method then removes the organic photoresist, implants impurities in the second area of the substrate to form source and drain regions adjacent the second gate conductor; and removes the hard mask using a wet etching process.

    摘要: Methods of forming a conductive element for an integrated circuit (IC) chip and a related structure are disclosed. One embodiment of the method may include forming a first sacrificial layer having a pattern therein for a first dielectric layer to surround the conductive element; forming the first dielectric layer within the patterned first sacrificial layer; removing the patterned first sacrificial layer, leaving the first dielectric layer; and forming the conductive element in a space vacated by the patterned first sacrificial layer. The methods prevent damage caused to low dielectric constant dielectric layers during etching and stripping/cleaning processes.

    摘要: A first photoresist is applied over an optically dense layer and lithographically patterned to form an array of first photoresist portions having a pitch near twice a minimum feature size. The pattern in the first photoresist portions, or a first pattern, is transferred into the ARC layer and partly into the optically dense layer. A second photoresist is applied and patterned into another array having a pitch near twice the minimum feature size and interlaced with the first pattern. The pattern in the second photoresist, or a second pattern, is transferred through the ARC portions and partly into the optically dense layer. The ARC portions are patterned with a composite pattern including the first pattern and the second pattern. The composite pattern is transferred through the optically dense layer and into the underlayer to form a sublithographic pattern in the underlayer.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a circuit and method for electroplating a feature (e.g., a BEOL anti-fuse device) onto a wafer. The embodiments eliminate the use of a seed layer and, thereby, minimize subsequent processing steps (e.g., etching or chemical mechanical polishing (CMP)). Specifically, the embodiments allow for selective electroplating metal or alloy materials onto an exposed portion of a metal layer in a trench on the front side of a substrate. This is accomplished by providing a unique wafer structure that allows a current path to be established from a power supply through a back side contact and in-substrate electrical connector to the metal layer. During electrodeposition, current flow through the current path can be selectively controlled. Additionally, if the electroplated feature is an anti-fuse device, current flow through this current path can also be selectively controlled in order to program the anti-fuse device.
