Patent EP-3840034-A1 (EP)
Inventor: O´TOOLE MARTIN
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2019-12-19
Abstract: The invention is related to a method for producing electrically conductive lines (23a,23b), wherein spacers are deposited on a sacrificial structure present on a stack of layers, comprising a hardmask layer (2) on top of a dielectric layer (1) into which the lines are to be embedded, and an intermediate layer (3) on top of the hardmask layer. A self-aligned litho-etch step is then performed to create an opening (12) in the intermediate layer, the opening being self-aligned to the space between two adjacent sidewalls of the sacrificial structure. This self-aligned step precedes the deposition of spacers (19) on the sacrificial structure, so that spacers (16a, 16b) are also formed on the transverse sidewalls of the opening (12), i.e. perpendicular to the spacers (19a, 19b) on the walls of the sacrificial structure. A blocking material is provided in the area (15) of the bottom of the opening that is surrounded on all sides by spacers, thereby creating a block (20) with a reduced size compared to prior art techniques.
