摘要:
Spacers in a pitch multiplication process are formed without performing a spacer etch. Rather, the mandrels are formed over a substrate and then the sides of the mandrels are reacted, e.g., in an oxidization, nitridation, or silicidation step, to form a material that can be selectively removed relative to the unreacted portions of the mandrel. The unreacted portions are selectively removed to leave a pattern of free-standing spacers. The free-standing spacers can serve as a mask for subsequent processing steps, such as etching the substrate.
