    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.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device can be fabricated using a photomask that has been modified using an assist feature design method based on normalized feature spacing. Before the device can be fabricated, a layout of original shapes is designed (402). For at least some of the original shapes, the width of the shape and a distance to at least one neighboring shape are measured (404). A modified shape can then be generated by moving edges of the original shape based on the width and distance measurements (406). This modification can be performed on some or all of the original shapes (408). For each of the modified shapes, a normalized space and correct number of assist features can be computed (410). The layout is then modified by adding the correct number of assist features in a space between the modified shape and the neighboring shape (412). This modified layout can then be used in producing a photomask, which can in turn be used to produce a semiconductor device.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transferring an image to a surface by using a substrate layer in a front layer imaging lithography. SOLUTION: This method for etching comprises the steps of forming a substrate layer 14 on a surface and a front layer 16 on the layer 14, patterning the front layer to partly expose the substrate layer, forming a layer containing silicon on the exposed portion of the substrate layer, removing the front layer, exposing the substrate layer except a portion which is covered with the silicon layer, and etching the substrate layer except a portion having the silicon layer, thereby causing the surface to be expose.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mask pattern capable of increasing the depth of focus and exposure latitude while maintaining or improving the resolution for the characteristics desired to be imaged. SOLUTION: The surface of a substrate 18 is provided with plural elongated structures 13 which are arranged nearly parallel to each other and plural projecting parts 14 below the resolution which extend transversely into the spaces between these elongated structures from the elongated structures. The plural projecting parts 14 have nearly the same sizes in the direction parallel to the elongated structures 13. The plural projecting parts 14 are periodically arranged apart spaced intervals in the direction parallel to the elongated structures 13. The elongated structures 13 and the projecting parts 14 are formed of energy absorption materials containing at least one among chromium, carbon and molybdenum.

    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 method of fabricating a semiconductor device is outlined in Figure 3. An ideal (or desired) pattern of a layer of the semiconductor device is designed (305). A first pass corrected pattern is then derived by correcting the ideal patterns for major effects, e.g., aerial image effects (315, 320). A second pass corrected pattern is then derived by correcting the first pass corrected patterns for remaining errors (340). The second pass corrected pattern can be used to build a photomask (345). The photomask can then be used to produce a semiconductor device, such a memory chip or logic chip (350).
