    Abstract: A method of forming a feature pattern in a photosensitive layer includes forming the photosensitive layer on a substrate, providing a first mask having a first opaque area thereon, and performing a first exposure process with a first dose to form a first unexposed image in the photosensitive layer. The method further includes performing a second exposure process with a second dose to expose sidewalls of the first unexposed image so that the sidewalls of the first unexposed image receive at least a portion of the second dose thus forming a second unexposed image in the photosensitive layer, and developing the photosensitive layer with a developing process to form the feature pattern and to create features having smaller widths than those which would result in developing the photosensitive layer of the first unexposed image.

    Abstract: A method of code programming a mask read only memory (ROM) is disclosed. According to the method, a first photoresist layer is formed over word lines and a gate oxide layer of a substrate already having implanted bit lines. The first photoresist layer is patterned to develop pre-code openings over all of the memory cells, which correspond to intersecting word and bit lines. The first photoresist layer is then hardened using either a treatment implant or a treatment plasma. Subsequently, a second photoresist layer is formed over the first photoresist layer and patterned to develop real-code openings over memory cells which are actually to be coded with a logic “0” value. Each memory cell to be coded is then implanted with implants passing through the pre-code openings and the real code openings and into the memory cell.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a photo resist pattern, and performing a light-exposure on a first portion of the photo resist pattern, wherein a second portion of the photo resist pattern is not exposed to light. A photo-acid reactive material is coated on the first portion and the second portion of the photo resist pattern. The photo-acid reactive material reacts with the photo resist pattern to form a film. Portions of the photo-acid reactive material that do not react with the photo resist pattern are then removed, and the film is left on the photo resist pattern.
