Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Transistor source/drain contacts and methods of forming the same." This invention involves a method that includes depositing a protective layer on a source/drain region and a gate mask, which is disposed on a gate structure. The gate structure is situated on a channel region of a substrate, which adjoins the source/drain region. The method further includes etching an opening through the protective layer to expose the source/drain region, depositing a metal in the opening and on the protective layer, and annealing the metal to form a metal-semiconductor alloy region on the source/drain region. Additionally, the process involves removing residue of the metal from the opening with a cleaning process, while the protective layer covers the gate mask during this cleaning process. Another notable patent is related to "Curing photo resist for improving etching selectivity." This method includes exposing and developing a negative photo resist, followed by a treatment using an electron beam. After this treatment, a layer underlying the photo resist is etched using the negative photo resist as an etching mask.
