摘要: A method includes patterning a mandrel layer over a target layer to form first mandrels and second mandrels, the first mandrels having a larger width than the second mandrels. A spacer layer is formed over the first mandrels and the second mandrels, and altered so that a thickness of the spacer layer over the first mandrels is greater than a thickness of the spacer layer over the second mandrels. Spacers are formed from the spacer layer which have a greater width adjacent the first mandrels than the spacers which are adjacent the second mandrels. The spacers are used to etch a target layer.

摘要: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated circuit. The method includes forming a first hard mask layer over a substrate and forming a second hard mask layer over the first hard mask layer. The second hard mask layer is patterned to define an island having a first width along a first direction. The island is patterned to form a patterned island having a second width along the first direction that is less than the first width. A sacrificial mask is formed over the first hard mask layer and the first hard mask layer is patterned according to the patterned island and the sacrificial mask.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer, a first metallization pattern, an etch stop layer, a metal-containing compound layer, a memory cell, and a second metallization pattern. The first metallization pattern is in the ILD layer. The etch stop layer is over the ILD layer. The metal-containing compound layer is over the etch stop layer, in which the etch stop layer has a portion extending beyond an edge of the metal-containing compound layer. The memory cell is over the metal-containing compound layer and including a bottom electrode, a resistance switching element over the bottom electrode, and a top electrode over the resistance switching element. The second metallization pattern extends through the portion of the etch stop layer to the first metallization pattern.

摘要: A multi-patterning method includes: patterning at least two first openings in a hard mask layer over a substrate using a first mask; forming spacers within two of the at least two first openings, each spacer having a spacer opening therein for patterning a respective first circuit pattern over the substrate, wherein each spacer defines a pattern-free region adjacent to a respective one of the at least two first circuit patterns, and patterning a second circuit pattern in the hard mask layer using a second mask. The second circuit pattern is located between and excluded from the pattern free regions adjacent the at least two first circuit patterns.

摘要: In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated circuit device. The method is performed by forming a first mask layer over a substrate and a second mask layer over the first mask layer. The second mask layer is patterned to form cut regions. A mandrel is formed over the first mask layer and the cut regions, and the first mask layer is etched using the mandrel form a patterned first mask. The substrate is etched according to the patterned first mask and the cut regions to form trenches in the substrate, and the trenches are filled with conductive metal to form conductive lines.
