Abstract:
The invention relates to transferring, in one exposure, a single-mask feature to form two features on an underlying material. Specifically, a doubled walled structure (i.e. a center opening flanked by adjacent openings) is formed. Advantageously, the openings may be sub-resolution openings. The center opening may be a line flanked by two other lines. The center opening may be circular and surrounded by an outer ring, thus forming a double wall ring structure. In an electronic fuse embodiment, the double wall ring structure is a via filled with a conductor that contacts a lower and upper level metal. In deep trench embodiment, the double wall ring structure is a deep trench in a semiconductor substrate filled with insulating material. In such a way the surface area of the trench is increased thereby increasing capacitance.
