Abstract:
A method of forming an integrated circuit includes forming a patterned mask layer on a material layer, wherein the patterned mask layer has a plurality of first features, and a first distance between adjacent first features of the plurality of first features. The method further includes patterning the material layer to form the first features in the material layer. The method further includes increasing the first distance between adjacent first features of the plurality of first features to a second distance. The method further includes treating portions of the material layer exposed by the patterned mask layer. The method further includes removing the patterned mask layer; and removing non-treated portions of the material layer.

Claim (Index 8):
A method comprising:\n forming a first feature and a second feature on a first material layer; patterning the first material layer by using the first and second features as a mask while a top surface of the first feature is exposed; implanting a dopant into a first portion of the first material layer while a second portion of the first material layer is covered by the first feature, wherein after the implanting of the dopant, the second portion of the first material layer is free of the dopant; removing the first and second features; and removing the second portion of the first material layer to form a third feature.
