Methods of semiconductor device fabrication techniques using double patterning are disclosed. According to various embodiments of the invention, methods of semiconductor device fabrication using self-aligned double patterning are provided. Particular embodiments of the invention allow creation of logic circuit patterns using two lithographic operations. One embodiment of the invention employs self-aligned double patterning to define two or more sets of parallel line features with a connection feature between two adjacent sets. In such embodiment, the sets of parallel line features along with the connection features are formed using two lithographic masks, without a need for an additional mask layer to form the connection features. In other embodiments, other features in addition to the connection features can be added in the same mask layer.
