    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a side-channel dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell and cell array that utilizes a vertical design with side channel transistors. A dielectric layer disposed over a substrate. A gate electrode is embedded in the dielectric layer. A channel layer wraps the gate electrode and a conductive structure is adjacent to the channel layer, with the channel layer interposed between the gate electrode and the conductive structure. The semiconductor structure also includes a dielectric structure disposed over the conductive structure and the gate electrode, the channel layer extending up through the dielectric structure.

    Abstract: Multi-layer photoresists, methods of forming the same, and methods of patterning a target layer using the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes depositing a reflective film stack over a target layer, the reflective film stack including alternating layers of a first material and a second material, the first material having a higher refractive index than the second material; depositing a photosensitive layer over the reflective film stack; patterning the photosensitive layer to form a first opening exposing the reflective film stack, patterning the photosensitive layer including exposing the photosensitive layer to a patterned energy source, the reflective film stack reflecting at least a portion of the patterned energy source to a backside of the photosensitive layer; patterning the reflective film stack through the first opening to form a second opening exposing the target layer; and patterning the target layer through the second opening.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device with isolation structures of different dielectric constants and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes fin structures with first and second fin portions disposed on first and second device areas on a substrate and first and second pair of gate structures disposed on the first and second fin portions. The second pair of gate structures is electrically isolated from the first pair of gate structures. The semiconductor device further includes a first isolation structure interposed between the first pair of gate structures and a second isolation structure interposed between the second pair of gate structures. The first isolation structure includes a first nitride liner and a first oxide fill layer. The second isolation structure includes a second nitride liner and a second oxide fill layer. The second nitride layer is thicker than the first nitride layer.
