Abstract: A patterning method is disclosed. A hard mask layer, a lower pattern transfer layer, an upper pattern transfer layer are formed on a target layer. A first SARP process is performed to pattern the upper pattern transfer layer into an upper pattern mask. A second SARP process is performed to pattern the lower pattern transfer layer into a lower pattern mask. The upper pattern mask and the lower pattern mask define hole patterns. The hole patterns is filled with a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer and the upper pattern mask are etched back until the lower pattern mask is exposed. The lower pattern mask is removed, thereby forming island patterns. Using the island patterns as an etching hard mask, the hard mask layer is patterned into hard mask patterns. Using the hard mask patterns as an etching hard mask, the target layer is patterned into target patterns.

Abstract: A patterning method is disclosed. A substrate having a hard mask layer and a first material layer formed thereon is provided. The first material layer is patterned into first array patterns and first peripheral patterns. The first array patterns are further transferred into first spacer patterns. Subsequently, a planarization layer and a second material layer are successively formed on the substrate. The second material layer is patterned into second array patterns and second peripheral patterns. The second array patterns are further transferred into second spacer patterns. The second spacer patterns partially overlap the first spacer patterns. The second peripheral patterns do not overlap the first peripheral pattern. The first spacer patterns not overlapped by the second spacer patterns are removed to obtain third array patterns. The hard mask layer is then etched using the third array patterns, the second peripheral patterns and the first peripheral patterns as an etching mask.
