  • Publication number: 20230170254
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of forming metal interconnects uses a direct metal etch approach to form and fill the metal gap. The method may include directly etching a metal layer to form metal patterns. The metal patterns may be spaced apart from one another by recesses. A dielectric spacer may be formed extending along the sidewalls of each of the recesses. The recesses may be filled with a conductive material to form a second set of metal patterns. By directly etching the metal film, the technique allows for reduced line width roughness. The disclosed structure may have the advantages of increased reliability, better RC performance and reduced parasitic capacitance.

  • Publication number: 20230161261
    Abstract: Coated nanotubes and bundles of nanotubes are formed into membranes useful in optical assemblies in EUV photolithography systems. These optical assemblies are useful in methods for patterning materials on a semiconductor substrate. Such methods involve generating, in a UV lithography system, UV radiation. The UV radiation is passed through a coating layer of the optical assembly, e.g., a pellicle assembly. The UV radiation that has passed through the coating layer is passed through a matrix of individual nanotubes or matrix of nanotube bundles. UV radiation that passes through the matrix of individual nanotubes or matrix of nanotube bundles is reflected from a mask and received at a semiconductor substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230153505
    Abstract: Electronic design automation (EDA) of the present disclosure logically places components of the electronic circuitry onto an electronic design real estate to determine an architectural design placement for the electronic circuitry. The EDA evaluates a metaheuristic algorithm starting with an initial placement of components of the electronic circuitry onto the electronic design real estate to provide multiple possible placements for placing these components of the electronic circuitry onto the electronic design real estate. The EDA utilizes the multiple possible placements of the metaheuristic algorithm to train one or more probabilistic functions of a model-based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm. The EDA evaluates the model-based RL algorithm utilizing the one or more probabilistic functions to determine the architectural design placement.
