Abstract: A dynamic random access memory is formed in a silicon chip in arrays of clusters, each of four cells in a single active area. Each active area is cross-shaped with vertical trenches at the four ends of the two crossbars. The central region of the active area where the two crossbars intersect serves as the common base region of the four transistors of the cluster. The top of the base region serves as a common drain for the four transistors and each transistor has a separate channel along the wall of its associated vertical trench that provides its storage capacitor. Each cluster includes a common bit line and four separate word-line contacts.

Abstract: A projected image is formed during a material substrate. A photolithographic mask is illuminated with substantially coherent light at an oblique angle of incidence with respect to a surface of the photolithographic mask. The photolithographic mask includes a substantially transparent mask substrate and one or more lines and spaces patterns formed on the mask substrate and having a periodicity P. The mask substrate includes at least one phase shifting region. At least part of the light that is transmitted through the photolithographic mask is collected using one or more projection lenses which project the portion of the transmitted light onto the material substrate. The material substrate is disposed substantially parallel with, but at a distance from, a focal plane of the projection lens system. The phase shifting region of the mask substrate and the distance from the focal plane are selected such that a substantially focused image is projected onto the material substrate that includes the lines and spaces patterned but with a periodicity P/2.

Abstract: Mask comprises a substrate (1), a first structural element (7) on the substrate, and an arrangement (20) of second structural elements. The second structural elements are arranged in the form of a matrix with lines and gap, have identical shape and size, and have a lateral expansion which is less than the minimal limit of resolution (40). An Independent claim is also included for a mask blank for the production of the mask.

Abstract: A mask (118) and method for patterning a semiconductor wafer. The mask (118) includes apertures (122) and assist lines (124) disposed between apertures (122). The assist lines (124) reduce the diffraction effects of the lithographic process, resulting in improved depth of focus and resolution of patterns on a semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting the quality of an alternating phase shift mask having a number of 180-degree phase shift areas alternating with a number of 0-degree phase shift areas is disclosed. In operation, a light source which provides wavelength-adjustable incident lights illuminates the incident lights on the alternating phase shift mask. The light outputs from boundaries between the 0-degree phase shift areas and the 180-degree phase shift areas of the alternating phase shift mask are detected. Relation curves of the wavelength of the incident light and a light intensity of the boundaries are then calculated. Phase errors of the alternating phase shift mask can thus be measured from the relation curves.

Abstract: A method of forming a trench can be used in the fabrication of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells. In one aspect, a first layer of a first material (e.g., polysilicon) (104) is formed over a semiconductor region (e.g., a silicon substrate) (100). The first layer is patterned to remove portions of the first material. A second material (e.g., oxide) (112, 120) can then be deposited to fill the portions where the first material was removed. After removing the remaining portions of the first layer of first material, a trench (122) can be etched in the semiconductor region. The trench would be substantially aligned to the second material.
