    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing a liquid etchant onto a wafer dispenses the liquid etchant onto a wafer using a scanning dispensing nozzle while controlling the dispensing temperature of the etchant in real time as a function of the radial position of the dispensing nozzle over the wafer. The dispensing temperature of the etchant is controlled to enhance the effectiveness of the etchant and thus compensate for the lower etching rate zones in the wafer.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate and forming a gate trench therein. The method also includes filling in the gate trench partially with a work-function (WF) metal stack, and filling in the remaining gate trench with a dummy-filling-material (DFM) over the WF metal stack. A sub-gate trench is formed by etching-back the WF metal stack in the gate trench, and is filled with an insulator cap to form an isolation region in the gate trench. The DFM is fully removed to from a MG-center trench (MGCT) in the gate trench, which is filled with a fill metal.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip includes a buffer layer, an underlying layer, a dielectric layer, a hole, and barrier layer. The buffer layer is over the underlying layer. The dielectric layer is over the buffer layer. The hole is formed in and extending through the dielectric layer and the buffer layer, and opens to the underlying layer. The hole includes a buffer layer portion at the buffer layer and a dielectric layer portion at the dielectric layer. At least part of the buffer layer portion of the hole has a larger cross-section area than a smallest cross-section area of the dielectric layer portion of the hole. The conformal barrier layer covers surfaces of the dielectric layer and the buffer layer in the hole. The hole is a via hole or a contact hole that is later filled with a conductive material to form a conductive via or a conductive contact.

    Abstract: A method of forming a dual damascene opening comprising the following steps. A structure having an overlying exposed conductive layer formed thereover is provided. A dielectric layer is formed over the exposed conductive layer. An anti-reflective coating layer is formed over the dielectric layer. The anti-reflective layer and the dielectric layer are etched using a via opening process to form an initial via exposing a portion of the conductive layer. A protective film portion is formed over at least the exposed portion of the conductive layer. The anti-reflective coating layer and the dielectric layer are patterned to reduce the initial via to a reduced via and to form a trench opening substantially centered over the reduced via. The trench opening and the reduced via comprising the dual damascene opening.
