    Abstract: A method includes providing a substrate with a patterned second layer over a first layer. The second layer includes a second layer opening having a first CD equal to the CD produced by a lithographic system (CDL). CDL is larger than a desired CD (CDD). A third layer is formed to fill the opening, leaving a top surface of the second layer exposed. The second layer is removed to produce a mesa formed by the third layer. The CD of the mesa is equal to about the first CD. The mesa is trimmed to produce a mesa with a second CD equal to about CDD. A fourth layer is formed to cover the first layer, leaving a top of the mesa exposed. The substrate is etched to remove the mesa and a portion of the first layer below the mesa to form an opening in the first layer with CDD.

    Abstract: A method of forming high density contact array is disclosed. The method includes providing a first dielectric layer and forming a hard mask stack over the first dielectric layer. The hard mask stack includes first, second and third hard mask layers. The first and second hard mask layers are processed to form high density array of hard mask stack structures using a double patterning process. The hard mask stack structures include patterned first and second hard mask layers having a first width F1. The width of the patterned second hard mask layers is reduced to a second width F2 to form high density array of hard mask posts. A fourth hard mask layer is formed over the third hard mask layer and surrounding the hard mask posts. The hard mask posts and portions of the third hard mask layer and first dielectric layer underlying the hard mask posts are removed to form high density contact hole array.
