Abstract

Double patterning processes are techniques that can be used to form etching mask patterns for 32nm node and possibly for 22nm node as well. The self-aligned spacer process has drawn much attention as an effective means of enabling the formation of repetitive patterns. The self-aligned spacer process is now being used in actual device manufacturing, but it has many process steps driving up process cost while also assuming a 1D pattern. This paper demonstrates extensions of the self-aligned spacer process by an enhanced 2D positive spacer process and a newly developed spacer DP process using a 1D negative spacer.
