  • Patent number: 11972951
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for fabricating a semiconductor structure. The method includes providing a substrate with a gate structure, an insulating structure over the gate structure, and a S/D region; depositing a titanium silicide layer over the S/D region with a first chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The first CVD process includes a first hydrogen gas flow. The method also includes depositing a titanium nitride layer over the insulating structure with a second CVD process. The second CVD process includes a second hydrogen gas flow. The first and second CVD processes are performed in a single reaction chamber and a flow rate of the first hydrogen gas flow is higher than a flow rate of the second hydrogen gas flow.

  • Publication number: 20140282295
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming at least a photo mask. A first photo-mask pattern relating to a first structure is provides. A second photo-mask pattern relating to a second structure is provides. A third photo-mask pattern relating to a third structure is provides. The first structure, the second structure and the third structure are disposed in a semiconductor structure in sequence. An optical proximity process including a comparison step is provided, wherein the comparison step includes comparing the first photo-mask pattern and the third photo-mask pattern. Last, the first photo-mask pattern is import to form a first mask, the second photo-mask pattern is import to form a second mask, and the third photo-mask pattern is import to form a third mask. The present invention further provides an OPC method.

  • Patent number: 6177327
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a capacitor for a mixed-mode circuit device. A substrate having an isolation region is provided. A bottom electrode is formed on the isolation region. A spacer is formed on a sidewall of the bottom electrode. A dielectric layer is formed on the bottom electrode. A conductive layer is formed over the substrate. The conductive layer is patterned to form an upper electrode.
