Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a dummy gate structure. The method may include: forming a dummy gate oxide layer and a dummy gate material layer on a semiconductor substrate sequentially; forming an ONO structure on the dummy gate material layer; forming a top amorphous silicon layer on the ONO structure; forming a patterned photoresist layer on the top amorphous silicon layer; etching the top amorphous silicon layer with the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, the etching being stopped on the ONO structure; etching the ONO structure with the patterned photoresist layer and a remaining portion of the top amorphous silicon layer as a mask, the etching being stopped on the dummy gate material layer; removing the patterned photoresist layer; and etching the dummy gate material layer, the etching being stopped at the dummy gate oxide layer to form a dummy gate structure.
Abstract:
A method for monolithic integration of a hyperspectral image sensor is provided, which includes: forming a bottom reflecting layer on a surface of the photosensitive region of a CMOS image sensor wafer; forming a transparent cavity layer composed of N step structures on the bottom reflecting layer through area selective atomic layer deposition processes, where N=2m, m≥1 and m is a positive integer; and forming a top reflecting layer on the transparent cavity layer. With the method, non-uniformity accumulation due to etching processes in conventional technology is minimized, and the cavity layer can be made of materials which cannot be etched. Mosaic cavity layers having such repeated structures with different heights can be formed by extending one-dimensional ASALD, such as extending in another dimension and forming repeated regions, which can be applied to snapshot hyperspectral image sensors, for example, pixels, and greatly improving performance thereof.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a novel dry etching method, which comprises the following steps: forming a to-be-etched layer on a semiconductor substrate; forming a masking material on the to-be-etched layer; carrying out dry etching on the masking material and the to-be-etched layer; simultaneously carrying out lateral etching (parallel to the surface of the substrate) of a masking layer and longitudinal etching (vertical to the surface of the substrate) of the to-be-etched layer; and obtaining the inclination angle (the included angle between a slope surface and the surface of the substrate) of the corresponding etched slope surface by accurately controlling the speed ratio. The method can flexibly adjust the inclination angle of the etched slope surface within a large range (0-90 degrees), and especially has advantages in the field of the application with a small inclination angle (smaller than 20 degrees) of the etched slope surface in comparison with a conventional etching method.
