Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device integrating a multiple patterning scheme includes forming a plurality of mandrels from a base structure, forming a plurality of non-mandrels including a hard mask material having an etch property substantially similar to that of the plurality of mandrels, forming photo-sensitive material or a memorization layer over the plurality of mandrels and the plurality of non-mandrels, and applying an exposure scheme to the photo-sensitive material or the memorization layer to create at least one mandrel cut pattern and at least one non-mandrel cut pattern.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device integrating a multiple patterning scheme, comprising:\n forming a plurality of mandrels from a base structure; forming a plurality of non-mandrels including hard mask material having an etch property substantially similar to that of the plurality of mandrels; forming photo-sensitive material over the plurality of mandrels and the plurality of non-mandrels; and applying a double exposure scheme to the photo-sensitive material to create at least one mandrel cut pattern and at least one non-mandrel cut pattern, including performing a first lithography exposure to create the at least one mandrel cut pattern, and performing a second lithography exposure to create the at least one non-mandrel cut pattern.
