    Abstract: A method including forming a line pattern in a substrate includes using a plurality of longitudinally spaced projecting features formed along respective guide lines as a template in forming a plurality of directed self-assembled (DSA) lines that individually comprise at least one of (a): the spaced projecting features and DSA material longitudinally there-between, and (b): are laterally between and laterally spaced from immediately adjacent of the guide lines. Substrate material elevationally inward of and laterally between the DSA lines may be processed using the DSA lines as a mask.

    Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device includes forming a first dielectric stack over a semiconductor base structure including pillar structures separated by filled isolation trenches. Digit line contacts are formed to partially vertically extend through the first dielectric stack and into digit line contact regions of the pillar structures. Digit lines are formed over and in contact with the digit line contacts, and partially vertically extend through the first dielectric stack. A second dielectric stack is formed over the digit lines and the first dielectric stack. Storage node contacts are formed to vertically extend partially through the second dielectric stack, completely through the first dielectric stack, and into storage node contact regions of the pillar structures. Redistribution layer structures are formed over and in contact with the storage node contacts, and partially vertically extend through the second dielectric stack. Microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.

    Abstract: Methods of lithography, methods for forming patterning tools, and patterning tools are described. One such patterning tool include an active region that forms a first diffraction image on a lens when in use, and an inactive region that forms a second diffraction image on a lens when in use. The inactive region includes a pattern of phase shifting features formed in a substantially transparent material of the patterning tool. Patterning tools and methods, as described, can be used to compensate for lens distortion from effects such as localized heating.

    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor devices and features in semiconductor device structures include conducting an anti-spacer process to remove portions of a first mask material to form first openings extending in a first direction. Another anti-spacer process is conducted to remove portions of the first mask material to form second openings extending in a second direction at an angle to the first direction. Portions of the second mask material underlying the first mask material at intersections of the first openings and second openings are removed to form holes in the second mask material and to expose a substrate underlying the second mask material.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include system and methods to obtain information for adjusting variations in features formed on a substrate of a semiconductor device. Such methods can include determining a first pupil in an illumination system used to form a first feature, and determining a second pupil used to form a second feature. The methods can also include determining a pupil portion belonging to only one of the pupils, and generating a modified pupil portion from the pupil portion. Information associated with the modified pupil portion can be obtained for controlling a portion of a projection lens assembly of an illumination system. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming patterns. A semiconductor substrate is formed to comprise an electrically insulative material over a set of electrically conductive structures. An interconnect region is defined across the electrically conductive structures, and regions on opposing sides of the interconnect region are defined as secondary regions. A two-dimensional array of features is formed over the electrically insulative material. The two-dimensional array extends across the interconnect region and across the secondary regions. A pattern of the two-dimensional array is transferred through the electrically insulative material of the interconnect region to form contact openings that extend through the electrically insulative material and to the electrically conductive structures, and no portions of the two-dimensional array of the secondary regions is transferred into the electrically insulative material.
