Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.
Claims 23 and 25 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lim in view of Choi.
Regarding claim 23, Lim does not specifically disclose depositing an etch stop layer and an interlevel dielectric layer over the surface of the substrate; etching the etch stop layer and the interlevel dielectric layer to form a plurality of capacitor openings; forming a first electrode layer within the plurality of capacitor openings; forming a first capacitor dielectric layer onto the first electrode layer and within the plurality of capacitor openings; forming a second electrode layer onto the first capacitor dielectric layer and within the plurality of capacitor openings; and patterning the first electrode layer, the first capacitor dielectric layer, and the second electrode layer to form the plurality of 3D capacitors.
In the same field of endeavor, Choi discloses a method of forming an image sensor, including steps of forming a 3D capacitor including steps of depositing an etch stop layer and an interlevel dielectric layer over the surface of the substrate (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting formation of interlayer insulation layer 220, on which an etch stop layer is formed, over the semiconductor substrate 101, [0150]-[0151]); etching the etch stop layer and the interlevel dielectric layer to form a plurality of capacitor openings (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting formation of lower electrode holes extending by etching the interlayer insulation layer 220, etch stop layer, and mold insulation layer 230, [0153]); forming a first electrode layer within the plurality of capacitor openings (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting formation of lower electrodes 231, dielectric pattern 233, and upper electrode 235 in the lower electrode holes, [0103]); forming a first capacitor dielectric layer onto the first electrode layer and within the plurality of capacitor openings (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting formation of lower electrodes 231, dielectric pattern 233, and upper electrode 235 in the lower electrode holes, [0103]); forming a second electrode layer onto the first capacitor dielectric layer and within the plurality of capacitor openings (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting formation of lower electrodes 231, dielectric pattern 233, and upper electrode 235 in the lower electrode holes, [0103]); and patterning the first electrode layer, the first capacitor dielectric layer, and the second electrode layer to form the plurality of 3D capacitors (FIGS. 10A/11-18, depicting wherein the of lower electrodes 231, dielectric pattern 233, and upper electrode 235 are patterned and thereby form a 3D capacitor within the pixel region PR). Regarding the formation of the 3D capacitors, in [0110], Choi states: “According to example embodiments, because the first and second lower electrodes 231 a and 231 b have a relatively high aspect ratio and a cylinder shape, surface areas of the first and second lower electrodes 231 a and 231 b may increase. In addition, because the first and second lower electrodes 231 a and 231 b are arranged in a zigzag pattern, the number of the first and second lower electrodes 231 a and 231 b arranged on the first and second lower pad electrodes 222 a and 222 b may increase. Thus, the capacitance of the first and second capacitors (see C1 and C2 of FIG. 3) may increase. Accordingly, during the global shutter operation, the loss of the charges and the noise generation may be reduced or prevented, such that the shutter efficiency may be improved.”
