and a third oxygen concentration (153 may have oxygen concentration of 25% to 40% and not limited to the same concentration as the oxygen concentration of 151; ¶[0060]) at the second layer, wherein the second oxygen concentration is greater (Oxygen concentration of middle spacer 152 has greater range, i.e. 35-50% than oxygen concentration of outer spacers 151/153; i.e. 25-40%; ¶¶[0054, 0060]) than the first oxygen concentration and the third oxygen concentration;

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
12. In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
13. Claim 6 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kuo, Chia-Ming et al. (Pub No. US 20170243952 A1) (hereinafter, Kuo) as applied to claim 4 above, and further in view of Kim, Kook-Tae et al. (Pub No. US 20160141381 A1) (hereinafter, Kim).
Re Claim 6, (Original) Kuo does not teach the transistor of claim 4, wherein the third layer is a different material than the second layer.
In the same field of endeavor, Kim teaches the transistor of claim 4, wherein the third layer (First spacer; 151; Fig 4; ¶[0060]) is a different material (Per ¶[0060] may have different carbon concentrations which renders the spacers 151 and 153 materially different) than the second layer (Third spacer; 153; fig 4; ¶[0060]).
Accordingly, it would have been obvious for a person having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to have used a third layer which is a different material than the second layer, as taught by Kim, for the transistor of Kuo. One would have been motivated to do this with a reasonable expectation of success because the etch rate during the manufacturing process may be optimized, which depends on the carbon and oxygen concentrations of the inner and outer spacers, as suggested by Kim (¶[0065]).
14. Claim 14 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kuo, Chia-Ming et al. (Pub No. US 20170243952 A1) (hereinafter, Kuo) as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Bedell, Stephen W. et al. (Pub No. US 20100207208 A1) (hereinafter, Bedell).
Re Claim 14, (Original) Kuo does not teach the transistor of claim 1, wherein the channel region comprises semiconductor nanoribbons or nanowires.
In the same field of endeavor, Bedell teaches the transistor of claim 1, wherein the channel region (Nanowires; 32; Figs 10A/10C; ¶[0065]) comprises semiconductor nanoribbons or nanowires (Nanowires; 32; Figs 10A/10C; ¶[0065]).
Accordingly, it would have been obvious for a person having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to have used a channel region comprising of semiconductor nanowires, as taught by Bedell, for the transistor of Kuo. One would have been motivated to do this with a reasonable expectation of success because nanowires provide superior electrostatic control of the channel by the gate, due to their ability to occupy minimal space and scaling density, whereas a fin structure may cause more current leakage in comparison, as suggested by Bedell (¶[0002]).
15. Claim 23 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kim, Kook-Tae et al. (Pub No. US 20160141381 A1) (hereinafter, Kim) as applied to claim 21 above, and further in view of Kuo, Chia-Ming et al. (Pub No. US 20170243952 A1) (hereinafter, Kuo).
Re Claim 23, (Currently Amended) Kim does not teach the transistor of claim 21, wherein an etch resistance of the first layer and the second layer is higher than an etch resistance at the midpoint of the third layer.
In the same field of endeavor, Kuo teaches the transistor of claim 21, wherein an etch resistance (Per ¶[0032]) 131 has higher etch resistance than oxygen-based etch process) of the first layer (Spacer film 131a; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) and the second layer (Blocking film; 150; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) is higher than an etch resistance (Per ¶[0033] 132 has poor etch resistance against the oxygen-based etch process in comparison to SiCN) at the midpoint of third layer (Spacer film; 132a; Fig 8; ¶[0035]).
Accordingly, it would have been obvious for a person having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to have used an etch resistance of the first surface and the second surface is higher than an etch resistance at the midpoint of the spacer between the first surface and the second surface, as taught by Kuo, for the transistor of Kim. One would have been motivated to do this with a reasonable expectation of success because the resistance difference between the middle and outer spacers provides considerable selectivity in the oxygen-based etch process, particularly during the wet etching process (reactive ion etching) the outer spacers can protect the middle spacer from being over-etched, as suggested by Kuo (¶¶[0033, 0041]).
16. Claims 24-25 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kuo, Chia-Ming et al. (Pub No. US 20170243952 A1) (hereinafter, Kuo), and further in view of Song, Hyun-Seung (Pub No. US 20160020205 A1) (hereinafter, Song).
Re Claim 24, (Currently Amended) Kuo teaches a die which comprises: a channel region (Fin type active pattern; 110; Fig 8; ¶[0030]);
a gate stack (Metal gate structure; 170; Fig 8; ¶[0044]) over the channel region;
a first spacer (Right hand spacer; 130; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) on a first end (Right side) of the gate stack; and
a second spacer (Left hand spacer; 130; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) on a second end (Left side) of the gate stack, wherein the first spacer and the second spacer comprise:
a first layer (Spacer film; 131a; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) adjacent to the gate stack;
a second layer (Blocking film; 150; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) spaced away from the gate stack; and
a bulk layer (Spacer film; 132a; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) between the first layer and the second layer, wherein a dielectric constant (Dielectric constant of SiOCN; ¶[0035]) of the bulk layer is lower (Dielectric constant of SiCN is higher than SiOCN due to the lack of oxygen composition in SiCN) than dielectric constants (Dielectric constant from value of 4 to 6, SiCN; ¶[0035]) of the first layer and the second layer.
wherein the second layer is along an outer sidewall (Blocking film 150 is on outer sidewall of spacer 132; Fig 8) of the bulk layer.
However, Kuo does not teach an electronic system, comprising:
a board;
a package substrate coupled to the board;
a die coupled to the package substrate.
In the same field of endeavor, Song teaches an electronic system, comprising:
a board (Printed Circuit Board; 2310; Fig 8B; ¶[0118]);
a package substrate (Module substrate; 2210; Fig 8A; ¶[0117]) coupled to the board;
a die (Semiconductor module; 2200; Fig 8A; ¶[0117]) coupled to the package substrate.
Accordingly, it would have been obvious for a person having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to have used an electronic system comprising of a board, package substrate coupled to the board, and a die coupled to the package substrate, as taught by Song, for the transistor of Kuo. One would have been motivated to do this with a reasonable expectation of success because the electronic system of Song may be incorporated into a mobile apparatus, such as a mobile phone or a tablet PC, or a portable apparatus such as a portable computer (e.g., a laptop computer), an MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) player, an MP4 player, a navigation system, a solid state disk (SSD), a desktop computer, automobile appliances, or home appliances, as well as a mobile phone or a tablet PC, as suggested by Song (¶[0120]).
Re Claim 25, (Currently Amended) Kuo teaches the electronic device of claim 24, wherein the first surface (Surface of spacer film 131a adjacent to gate; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) and the second surface (Surface of spacer film 131a away from gate; Fig 8; ¶[0035]) have an etch resistance (Per ¶[0032]) 131 has higher etch resistance than oxygen-based etch process) that is greater than an etch resistance (Per ¶[0033] 132 has poor etch resistance against the oxygen-based etch process in comparison to SiCN) of the bulk layer (Spacer film; 132a; Fig 8; ¶[0035]).
Allowable Subject Matter
17. Claims 16-18 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
The closest prior art Harada, Kazuhiro et al. (Pub No. US 20210040609 A1) (hereinafter, Harada) either singularly or in combination fails to anticipate or render obvious
“The method of claim 15, wherein the flow rate of the oxygen source is non-uniform through iterations of the deposition cycle.”
in combination with all other limitations in the claim(s) as claimed and defined by applicant.
In the instant case, Re claim 16, Harada discloses a flow rate of oxygen which is uniform throughout each iteration of the deposition cycle. Furthermore, the related prior art does not disclose an oxygen source having a non-uniform flow rate of the deposition cycle as disclosed in claim 15.
