    摘要: Methods for forming patterns having triple the line frequency of a first pattern using only a single spacer are disclosed. For example, the first pattern is formed in a first and a second material using a lithographic process. Sidewall spacers are formed from a third material adjacent to exposed sidewalls of features in the second material. The width of the features in the first pattern in the first material is reduced. For example, the width is reduced to about the target width of features in a final pattern. The width of features in the first pattern in the second material is reduced using remaining portions of the first material as a mask. A second pattern is formed based on remaining portions of the second material and the sidewall spacers. The features in the second pattern may be lines having about ⅓ the width of lines in the first pattern.

    摘要: A photomask for exposure of a semiconductor wafer using dipole illumination and method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. A method of forming a pattern on a semiconductor using the photomask is also disclosed. The photomask may have an array of islands that are used for printing lines using dipole illumination. The photomask may have sub-resolution assist features (SRAF) to assist in printing the lines. The SRAF may include an array of holes.

    摘要: Bit line connections for non-volatile storage devices and methods for fabricating the same are disclosed. At least two different types of bit line connections may be used between memory cells and bit lines. The different types of bit line connections may be structurally different from each other as follows. One type of bit line connection may include a metal pad between an upper via and lower via. Another type of bit line connection may include an upper via and lower via, but does not include the metal pad. Three rows of bit line connections may be used to relax the pitch. For example, two rows of bit line connections on the outside may have the metal pad, whereas bit line connections in the middle row do not have the metal pad.
