    Abstract: A semiconductor structure formation method and a mask are provided. One form of the formation method includes: providing a base, including a target layer; forming a mandrel material layer on the base, the mandrel material layer including a first region and a second region encircling the first region; performing ion doping on the mandrel material layer in the second region, the ion doping being suitable for increasing the etching resistance of the mandrel material layer, where the mandrel material layer in the second region serves as an anti-etching layer, and the mandrel material layer in the first region serves as a mandrel layer; forming a first trench that runs through, along a first direction, at least part of the mandrel material layer in the first region, where part of the mandrel material layer in the first region remains at two sides of the first trench along a second direction; forming spacers on side walls of the first trench, so that the spacers form a first groove by encircling; removing the mandrel layer to form second grooves; and etching, using the anti-etching layer and the spacers as masks, the target layer below the first groove and the second grooves, to form the target pattern. In embodiments and implementations of the present disclosure, a pitch between target patterns is further compressed.

    Abstract: A method of patterning a substrate, where the method includes: forming first structures over a memorization layer, the first structures including a first row of lines that are parallel with each other and spaced apart from each other; executing a first anti-spacer formation process to form first trenches along sidewalls of the first structures and sidewalls of a first fill material, the first trenches defining a first etch pattern; transferring the first etch pattern into the memorization layer and removing materials above the memorization layer; forming second structures over the memorization layer, the second structures including a second row of lines that are parallel with each other and spaced apart, placement of the second row of lines being shifted relative to the first row of lines; executing a second anti-spacer formation process to form second trenches formed along sidewalls of the second structures and sidewalls of a second fill material, the second trenches defining a second etch pattern; and transferring the second etch pattern into the memorization layer and removing materials above the memorization layer.
