Abstract:
Subsequent to providing a metal layer (42) a silicon body (10), a layer of amorphous silicon of the silicon body is formed by ion implantation through the metal layer. Subsequently, the metal and amorphous silicon all reacted to form a silicide by raising the temperature of the device.
Abstract:
The application of a dissimilar anti-reflective coating on a conductive layer during photolithographic processing is avoided, as by modifying a portion of the upper surface (21A) of the conductive layer (21) to exhibit anti-reflective properties. In an embodiment of the present invention, impurity ions are implanted into a portion of the upper surface (21A) of an aluminum or an aluminum-alloy conductive layer (21) to render the upper portion (21A) substantially amorphous and, hence, decrease its reflectivity to perform an anti-reflective function.
Abstract:
A structure for patterning a polysilicon layer includes a TiN layer located above an amorphous silicon (a-Si) layer forming a TiN/a-Si stack. The TiN/a-Si stack is located above the polysilicon layer. The TiN layer serves as an ARC to reduce overexposure of the photoresist used to pattern the polysilicon layer, while the a-Si layer prevents contamination of the layer below the polysilicon layer.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multi-level semiconductor device, which method comprises: forming a first dielectric layer (40) on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first patterned metal layer (41a-41d) having gaps therein on the first dielectric layer (40), depositing a high density plasma oxide (42) to fill the gaps by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition; performing a first heat treatment at a first temperature for a first period of time to substantially increase the grain size of the first patterned metal layer (41a-41d), performing a second heat treatment at a second temperature lower than the first temperature, for a second period of time shorter than the first period of time. Application to borderless vias.
