Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided that comprises a substrate; an oxide layer over the substrate; and a silicon layer over the oxide layer, the silicon layer forming a notch-free gate structure; wherein the gate structure has been formed using a hard mask comprising an antireflective layer over a silicon oxide layer, the mask having been subsequently removed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A semiconductor device that comprises: 
 a substrate;    an oxide layer over the substrate; and    a silicon layer over the oxide layer, the silicon layer forming a notch-free gate structure;    wherein the gate structure has been formed using a hard mask comprising an antireflective layer over a silicon oxide layer, the mask having been subsequently removed.    
   
   
       2 . The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the antireflective layer comprises silicon oxynitride.  
   
   
       3 . The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the silicon oxide layer has a thickness of about 300-700 Å.  
   
   
       4 . The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the antireflective coating has a thickness of about 300-700 Å.  
   
   
       5 . The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the silicon layer comprises non-doped or n-doped poly-Si.  
   
   
       6 . The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the silicon layer has a thickness of about 2000 Å.
