Abstract:
Methods of forming semiconductor fins include forming first spacers on a first sidewall of each of a plurality of mandrels using a directional deposition process. A finless region is masked by forming a mask on a second sidewall of one or more of the plurality of mandrels. Second spacers are formed on a second sidewall of unmasked mandrels using a directional deposition process. The finless region is unmasked and each of the plurality of mandrels is etched away. Fins are formed from a substrate using the first and second spacers as a mask, such that no fins are formed in the finless region.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4 , wherein the nitride pad layer includes silicon nitride.
