  • Publication number: 20120295432
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming an interlayer insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate of a cell region, and forming gate structures over the semiconductor substrate of a peripheral region. Reserved bit line regions are formed in the cell region by etching the interlayer insulating layer, and gates are formed by etching the gate structures in the peripheral region. A capping insulating layer and an isolation layer are formed over the reserved bit line regions and the gates, the isolation layer of the cell region is removed, and an etch-back process is performed on the capping insulating layer, and bit lines are formed in the respective reserved bit line regions. Semiconductor device yields can be enhanced because patterns having a fine critical dimension can be formed in peripheral regions with an increased degree of integration.

  • Patent number: 8242583
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a CMP dummy pattern and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The warpage of a wafer can be prevented by forming the CMP dummy pattern in the same direction and/or at the same angle as a pattern of a cell region. Accordingly, overlay error caused by etching residues is reduced, thereby improving the yield of the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 8181127
    Abstract: A method for processing optical proximity correction is disclosed which eliminates a need for repeated implementation of experiments and result in a reducing the processing time as compared to trial and error. Furthermore, the method can realize an optimal insertion of the assist pattern by applying different conditions to specific layers. The method includes determining whether or not to insert an assist pattern around an outermost pattern. A shape of the assist pattern inserted around the outermost pattern is determined. The contrast of the outermost pattern is compared against a contrast of a cell array pattern. The contrast of the outermost pattern is repeated compared with the contrast of the cell array pattern under a defocus state.
