  • Patent number: 11393689
    Abstract: A method for forming spacers on a gate pattern includes deposition of a first dielectric layer having basal portions on an active layer and side portions of the edges of the pattern; anisotropic modification of only the basal portions of the first layer, so as to obtain modified basal portions; deposition of a second dielectric layer on the first layer, also having basal and side portions; anisotropic etching of only the basal portions of the second layer, so as to remove these basal portions while conserving the side portions; and removal of the modified basal portions while conserving the first and second non-modified side portions, by selective etching of the modified dielectric material vis-à-vis the non-modified dielectric material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2020
