摘要: A method for forming a magnetic memory device is disclosed. At least one magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) stack is formed on the substrate. The MTJ stack comprises a reference layer, a tunnel barrier layer and a free layer. A top electrode layer is formed on the MTJ stack. A patterned sacrificial layer is formed on the top electrode layer. The MTJ stack is then subjected to a MTJ patterning process in a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD) chamber, thereby sputtering off the MTJ stack not covered by the patterned sacrificial layer. During the MTJ patterning process, sidewalls of layers or sub-layers of the MTJ stack are simultaneously passivated in the HDPCVD chamber by depositing a sidewall protection layer.

摘要: A semiconductor device including at least an OTP unit cell is disclosed. The OTP unit cell includes a read select transistor, a data storage transistor serially connected to the read select transistor, and a program select transistor. The drain of the program select transistor is electrically coupled to the gate of the data storage transistor. The programming path for programming the three-transistor unit cell is different from the reading path for reading the OTP unit cell.

摘要: An OPC modeling method is disclosed, which includes: step S1: determining optical model parameters and resist model parameters; step S2: obtaining a plurality of parameter combinations by stochastically choosing values for the parameters; step S3: performing photolithography simulations and etching wafers and calculating RMS values of differences between simulated CDs and etching CDs and BCE values of the CDs; step S4: evaluating the values according to Pareto principle and calculating Pareto optimum to N-th-best Pareto suboptimum sets to prioritize the plurality of parameter combinations in a descending order; step S5: applying a genetic algorithm with position-based crossover and/or mutation to the plurality of parameter combinations, to obtain new parameter combinations; and step S6: iterating steps S3 to S5 on the new parameter combinations until a number of iterations reaches a first predetermined value and using highest prioritized ones of parameter combinations resulting from a last iteration for OPC modeling.
