Abstract
A semiconductor structure has a second portion with an appendage on one side of the second portion and extruding along the longitudinal direction of the second portion. Moreover the semiconductor structure also has a gate line longitudinally parallel to the second portion, wherein the length of the gate line equals to the longitudinal length of the second portion.
Claims20
A semiconductor structure with a gate layer, the gate layer comprising:
- A second portion with an appendage on one side of the second portion and extruding along the longitudinal direction of the second portion;
- and
- a first portion comprising a gate line longitudinally parallel to the second portion, wherein the length of the gate line equals to the to longitudinal length of the second portion.
A semiconductor structure with a gate layer, the gate layer comprising:
- at least two second portions, each second portion comprising at least an appendage on one side of each second portion and extruding along the longitudinal direction of the second portion;
- and
- a first portion located between the second portions and longitudinally parallel to the second portion, wherein the first portion comprises a plurality of gate lines with a same spacing and arranged in an array manner, and the length of each gate line equals to the longitudinal length of the second portion.
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure gate layer, the method comprising:
- providing a gate layer, a first cap layer, and a second cap layer, wherein the second cap layer is on the gate layer and the first cap layer is on the second cap layer;
- forming a first pattern on the first cap layer comprising a large pitch area and a small pitch area;
- forming a spacer on the first cap layer;
- forming a plurality of large spacer columns and a plurality of small spacer columns by removing the first cap layer with a selective etch;
- is providing a photoresist on the large spacer columns;
- and
- transferring the features and shapes of the spacer columns in concurrency with the photoresist to the gate layer to form a first portion with fine gate lines and a second portion with large gate pattern.
