20090081860 | METHOD OF FORMING TRANSISTOR DEVICES WITH DIFFERENT THRESHOLD VOLTAGES USING HALO IMPLANT SHADOWING - The halo implant technique described herein employs a halo implant mask that creates a halo implant shadowing effect during halo dopant bombardment. A first transistor device structure and a second transistor device structure are formed on a wafer such that they are orthogonally oriented to each other. A common halo implant mask is created with features that prevent halo implantation of the diffusion region of the second transistor device structure during halo implantation of the diffusion region of the first transistor device structure, and with features that prevent halo implantation of the diffusion region of the first transistor device structure during halo implantation of the diffusion region of the second transistor device structure. The orthogonal orientation of the transistor device structures and the pattern of the halo implant mask obviates the need to create multiple implant masks to achieve different threshold voltages for the transistor device structures. | 03-26-2009 |
20090163004 | Method of Fabricating Semiconductor Device - Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device are provided. A photoresist pattern can be formed on an implantation target layer, and conductive impurities can be implanted into the implantation target layer using the photoresist pattern as a mask. A portion of the photoresist pattern can be removed, conductive impurities implanted in the photoresist pattern can be cleaned, and the remaining portion of the photoresist pattern can be removed. | 06-25-2009 |
20110092059 | TECHNIQUES FOR PROCESSING A SUBSTRATE - Herein, an improved technique for processing a substrate is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be achieved using a mask for processing the substrate. The mask may be incorporated into a substrate processing system such as, for example, an ion implantation system. The mask may comprise one or more first apertures disposed in a first row; and one or more second apertures disposed in a second row, each row extending along a width direction of the mask, wherein the one or more first apertures and the one or more second apertures are non-uniform. | 04-21-2011 |
20120244692 | INTEGRATED SHADOW MASK/CARRIER FOR PATTERN ION IMPLANTATION - An improved, lower cost method of processing substrates, such as to create solar cells is disclosed. In addition, a modified substrate carrier is disclosed. The carriers typically used to carry the substrates are modified so as to serve as shadow masks for a patterned implant. In some embodiments, various patterns can be created using the carriers such that different process steps can be performed on the substrate by changing the carrier or the position with the carrier. In addition, since the alignment of the substrate to the carrier is critical, the carrier may contain alignment features to insure that the substrate is positioned properly on the carrier. In some embodiments, gravity is used to hold the substrate on the carrier, and therefore, the ions are directed so that the ion beam travels upward toward the bottom side of the carrier. | 09-27-2012 |
