  • Patent number: 7846843
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device using a spacer as an etch mask for forming a fine pattern is described. The process includes forming a hard mask layer over a target layer that is desired to be etched. A sacrificial layer pattern is subsequently formed over the hard mask layer. Spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the sacrificial layer pattern. The protective layer is formed on the hard mask layer portions between the sacrificial patterns formed with the spacer. The sacrificial layer pattern and the protective layer are then later removed, respectively. The hard mask layer is etched using the spacer as an etching mask. After etching, the spacer is removed. Finally, the target layer is etched using the etched hard mask as an etching mask.

  • Patent number: 7462659
    Abstract: This invention is related to a reactive nanoparticular cyclodextrin derivative useful as a porogen and a low dielectric matrix, with excellent mechanical properties and uniformly distributed nanopores, manufactured by sol-gel reaction of the above reactive cyclodextrin. Furthermore, this invention also is related to an ultralow dielectric film, with uniformly distributed nanopores, a relatively high porosity of 51%, and a relatively low dielectric constant of 1.6, manufactured by thin-filming of the conventional organic or inorganic silicate precursor by using the above reactive nanoparticular cyclodextrin derivative as a porogen.

  • Publication number: 20080287573
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultra-low dielectric film for a copper interconnect, in particular, to an porous film prepared in such a manner that coating with an organic solution containing a polyalkyl silsesquioxane precursor or its copolymer as a matrix and acetylcyclodextrin nanoparticles as a template and then performing a sol-gel reaction and heat treatment at higher temperature. The present films may contain the template of up to 60 vol %, due to the use of acetylcyclodextrin, and have homogeneously distributed pores with the size of no more than 5 nm in the matrix. In addition, the present films exhibit a relatively low dielectric constant of about 1.5, and excellent interconnectivity between pores, so that they are considered a promising ultra-low dielectric film for a copper interconnect.
