相关申请引用说明
本申请要求于2020年3月2日递交的中国专利申请号202010134688.8、申请名为“有源区阵列的形成方法及半导体结构”的优先权,其全部内容以引用的形式附录于此。

动态随机存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory,DRAM)是计算机等电子设备中常用的半导体结构,其由多个存储单元构成,每个存储单元通常包括晶体管和电容器。所述晶体管的栅极与字线电连接、源极与位线电连接、漏极与电容器电连接,字线上的字线电压能够控制晶体管的开启与关闭,从而通过位线能够读取存储在电容器中的数据信息,或者将数据信息写入到电容器中。
在DRAM等半导体结构的衬底中,具有呈阵列排布的多个有源区,形成有源区阵列。有源区的形成通过圆形的图形将有源区辅助线分割为一个一个的有源区岛状结构,然后以有源区岛状结构为掩膜刻蚀衬底,形成多个呈阵列排布的有源区。但是,圆形图形的形成主要依赖于单一光刻图形(single-pattern)或者双重光刻图形(Lithography etch lithography etch,LELE)。随着节点尺寸的缩小,利用LELE工艺形成有源区阵列的过程中会遇到光刻工艺精度的限制。
