摘要: A method includes forming a mandrel layer over a target layer, and etching the mandrel layer to form mandrels. The mandrels have top widths greater than respective bottom widths, and the mandrels define a first opening in the mandrel layer. The first opening has an I-shape and includes two parallel portions and a connecting portion interconnecting the two parallel portions. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the first opening. The spacers fill the connecting portion, wherein a center portion of each of the two parallel portions is unfilled by the spacers. Portions of the first opening that are unfilled by the spacers are extended into the target layer.

摘要: A method, e.g., of forming and using a mask, includes forming an inverse mask over a dielectric layer; forming a mask layer conformally over the inverse mask; removing horizontal portions of the mask layer; and after removing the horizontal portions, simultaneously etching the inverse mask and vertical portions of the mask layer. The etching the inverse mask is at a greater rate than the etching the vertical portions of the mask layer. The etching the inverse mask removes the inverse mask, and the etching the vertical portions of the mask layer forms a mask comprising rounded surfaces distal from the dielectric layer. Recesses are formed in the dielectric layer using the mask. Locations of the inverse mask correspond to fewer than all locations of the recesses.
