"Methods of Forming Memory" Background of the Invention: 1 In recent years, with the rapid progress of the semiconductor process industry and the semiconductor equipment industry, the industry of ultra-large integrated circuits (uHra_large scaie integrated ci rcu its; ULS I) has developed extremely rapidly. Very large integrated circuits are usually composed of a large number of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), where each metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor includes a source (source) and a pole (drai η), and A gate between the two. In order to increase the device density and operating speed of the integrated circuit, the feature size of the small transistor must be continuously worked on. In particular, the channel length of the P-type channel or N-type channel of a transistor is related to the operation rate of the device. In order to increase the operation rate of the integrated circuit, efforts are always made to reduce the channel length of the transistor. The key technology that can shorten the channel length of the transistor is the photolithography process. Conventional technology uses a stepper to perform the lithography process. In recent years, in order to reach a smaller size photolithography limit, a scanner has gradually been used to replace the stepper. In general, the shortest channel length of a transistor in a lithography process is equal to the stepper or scan
