    Abstract: A capacitor structure and method of forming it are described. In particular, a high-K dielectric oxide is provided as the capacitor dielectric. The high-K dielectric is deposited in a series of thin layers and oxidized in a series of oxidation steps, as opposed to a depositing a single thick layer. Further, at least one of the oxidation steps is less aggressive than the oxidation environment or environments that would be used to deposit the single thick layer. This allows greater control over oxidizing the dielectric and other components beyond the dielectric.

    Abstract: A deposition method includes contacting a substrate with a first initiation precursor and forming a first portion of an initiation layer on the substrate. At least a part of the substrate is contacted with a second initiation precursor different from the first initiation precursor and a second portion of the initiation layer is formed on the substrate. The substrate may be simultaneously contacted with a plurality of initiation precursors, forming on the substrate and initiation layer comprising components, derived from each of the plurality of initiation precursors. An initiation layer may be contacted with a deposition precursor, forming a deposition layer on the initiation layer. The deposition layer may be contacted with a second initiation precursor different from the first initiation precursor forming a second initiation layer over the substrate. Also, a first initiation layer may be formed substantially selectively on a first-type substrate surface relative to a second-type substrate surface and contacted with a deposition precursor, forming a deposition layer substantially selectively over the first-type substrate surface.

    Abstract: One-transistor memory devices facilitate nonvolatile data storage through the manipulation of oxygen vacancies within a trapping layer of a field-effect transistor (FET), thereby providing control and variation of threshold voltages of the transistor. Various threshold voltages may be assigned a data value, providing the ability to store one or more bits of data in a single memory cell. To control the threshold voltage, the oxygen vacancies may be manipulated by trapping electrons within the vacancies, freeing trapped electrons from the vacancies, moving the vacancies within the trapping layer and annihilating the vacancies.

    Abstract: Resistive heaters formed in two mask counts on a surface of a grating of a thermo optic device thereby eliminating one mask count from prior art manufacturing methods. The resistive heater is comprised of a heater region and a conductive path region formed together in a first mask count from a relatively high resistance material. A conductor formed from a relatively low resistance material is formed directly on the conductive path region in a second mask count. Thermo optic devices formed by these two mask count methods are also described.

    Abstract: An antireflective layer formed from boron-doped amorphous carbon may be removed using a process which is less likely to over etch a dielectric layer than conventional technology. This layer may be removed by exposing the layer to an oxygen plasma (i.e. an “ashing” process), preferably concurrently with the ashing and removal of an overlying photoresist layer. An inventive process which uses the inventive antireflective layer is also described.

    Abstract: Differently-sized features of an integrated circuit are formed by etching a substrate using a mask which is formed by combining two separately formed patterns. Pitch multiplication is used to form the relatively small features of the first pattern and conventional photolithography used to form the relatively large features of the second pattern. Pitch multiplication is accomplished by patterning a photoresist and then etching that pattern into an amorphous carbon layer. Sidewall spacers are then formed on the sidewalls of the amorphous carbon. The amorphous carbon is removed, leaving behind the sidewall spacers, which define the first mask pattern. A bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) is then deposited around the spacers to form a planar surface and a photoresist layer is formed over the BARC. The photoresist is next patterned by conventional photolithography to form the second pattern, which is then is transferred to the BARC. The combined pattern made out by the first pattern and the second pattern is transferred to an underlying amorphous silicon layer and the pattern is subjected to a carbon strip to remove BARC and photoresist material. The combined pattern is then transferred to the silicon oxide layer and then to an amorphous carbon mask layer. The combined mask pattern, having features of difference sizes, is then etched into the underlying substrate through the amorphous carbon hard mask layer.

    Abstract: A first dielectric layer is formed over a substrate. A single layer first conductive layer that acts as a floating gate is formed over the first dielectric layer. A trough is formed in the first conductive layer to increase the capacitive coupling of the floating gate with a control gate. An intergate dielectric layer is formed over the floating gate layer. A second conductive layer is formed over the second dielectric layer to act as a control gate.
