摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes depositing a hard mask layer on an upper surface of an insulating layer. The hard mask layer is etched to form an opening in the hard mask layer. A via recess is formed in the insulating layer through the opening. A first photoresist layer is formed on the hard mask layer and in the via recess. The first photoresist layer is etched to form a photoresist plug in the via recess. Two opposite sides of the opening are etched to remove portions of the hard mask layer and thereby a portion of the upper surface of the insulating layer is exposed. The photoresist plug is removed. Metal is deposited in the via recess and on the exposed surface of the insulating layer. The metal is patterned.

摘要: Implementations of the present disclosure provide coloring methods that sort and pre-color nodes of G0-linked networks in a multiple-patterning technology (MPT)-compliant layout design by coordinate. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying target networks in a circuit layout, each target network having two or more linked nodes representing circuit patterns, and each target network being presented in an imaginary X-Y coordinate plane, assigning a first feature to a first node in each target network, the first node is determined using a coordinate-based method, and assigning the first feature and a second feature to remaining nodes in each target network in an alternating manner so that any two immediately adjacent linked nodes in each target network have different features.

摘要: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, an underlying structure is formed over a substrate. A film is formed over the underlying structure. Surface topography of the film is measured and the surface topography is stored as topography data. A local etching is performed by using directional etching and scanning the substrate so that an entire surface of the film is subjected to the directional etching. A plasma beam intensity of the directional etching is adjusted according to the topography data.

摘要: A lithography system is provided. The lithography system includes a mask and an optical module. The optical module is configured to optically form an invisible pellicle over the mask to protect the mask from contaminant particles. As a solid pellicle used in the prior arts is omitted, the critical dimension (CD) error from the boarder effect due to reflection of some light by the solid pellicle and the exposure radiation energy consumption caused by the solid pellicle can be avoided
