    Abstract: One method includes forming a mandrel element above a hard mask layer, forming first and second spacers on the mandrel element, removing the mandrel element, a first opening being defined between the first and second spacers and exposing a portion of the hard mask layer and having a longitudinal axis extending in a first direction, forming a block mask covering a middle portion of the first opening, the block mask having a longitudinal axis extending in a second direction different than the first direction, etching the hard mask layer in the presence of the block mask and the first and second spacers to define aligned first and second line segment openings in the hard mask layer extending in the first direction, etching recesses in a dielectric layer disposed beneath the hard mask layer based on the first and second line segment openings, and filling the recesses with a conductive material.

    Abstract: Methods of patterning metallization lines having variable widths in a metallization layer. A first mandrel layer is formed over a mask layer, with the mask layer overlying a second mandrel layer. The first mandrel layer is etched to form mandrel lines that have variable widths. The first non-mandrel trenches are etched in the mask layer, where the non-mandrel trenches have variable widths. The first mandrel lines are used to etch mandrel trenches in the mask layer, so that the mandrel lines and first non-mandrel lines define a mandrel pattern. The second mandrel layer is etched according to the mandrel pattern to form second mandrel lines, with the second mandrel lines having the variable widths of the plurality of first mandrel lines and the variable widths of the plurality of non-mandrel trenches.

    Abstract: A dense library architecture using an M0 hand-shake and the method of forming the layout are disclosed. Embodiments include forming first and second active areas on a substrate, at the top and bottom of a cell, separated from each other; forming first through third gate lines perpendicular to the active areas, where the first and third gate lines are dummy gates at the cell edges; forming trench silicide segments on each of the active areas, between the first, second, and third gate lines; forming first and second M1 metal lines between the first and second gate lines and the second and third gate lines, respectively; forming a M0 segment between the first and second active regions perpendicular to the M1 metal lines; forming a CB between the M0 segment and the second gate line; and forming a V0 from the first metal line to the M0 segment.
