SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING METHODS OF FORMING DEVICES ON A SUBSTRATE, FORMING DEVICE ARRAYS ON A SUBSTRATE, FORMING CONDUCTIVE LINES ON A SUBSTRATE, AND FORMING CAPACITOR ARRAYS ON A SUBSTRATE, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY

摘要

Semiconductor processing methods include forming a plurality of patterned device outlines over a semiconductor substrate, forming electrically insulative partitions or spacers on at least a portion of the patterned device outlines, and forming a plurality of substantially identically shaped devices relative to the patterned device outlines. Individual formed devices are spaced from at least one other of the devices by a distance no more than a width of one of the electrically insulative spacers. In such manner, device pitch is reduced by almost fifty percent. According to one aspect, elongated electrically conductive lines are formed. According to another aspect, capacitors are formed which, according to a preferred embodiment form part of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) array.
