US Patent:
20130341795, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/529006
Inventors:
Justin B. Dorhout - Boise ID, US
Ranjan Khurana - Boise ID, US
David Swindler - Boise ID, US
Jianming Zhou - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC. - Boise ID
International Classification:
H01L 21/311
H01L 21/768
H01L 23/48
US Classification:
257773, 438702, 438669, 257E23011, 257E2159, 257E21257
Abstract:
Some embodiments include a semiconductor construction having a pair of lines extending primarily along a first direction, and having a pair of contacts between the lines. The contacts are spaced from one another by a lithographic dimension, and are spaced from the lines by sub-lithographic dimensions. Some embodiments include a method of forming a semiconductor construction. Features are formed over a base. Each feature has a first type sidewall and a second type sidewall. The features are spaced from one another by gaps. Some of the gaps are first type gaps between first type sidewalls, and others of the gaps are second type gaps between second type sidewalls. Masking material is formed to selectively fill the first type gaps relative to the second type gaps. Excess masking material is removed to leave a patterned mask. A pattern is transferred from the patterned mask into the base.

Abstract:
A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a microelectronic device structure. The microelectronic device structure comprises a stack structure comprising insulative structures and additional insulative structures vertically alternating with the insulative structures, a dielectric structure vertically extending partially through the stack structure, and a dielectric material vertically overlying and horizontally extending across the stack structure and the dielectric structure. Portions of at least the dielectric material and the dielectric structure are removed to form a trench vertically overlying and at least partially horizontally overlapping a remaining portion of the dielectric structure. The trench is substantially filled with additional dielectric material. Microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
