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 17):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first feature is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of an oxide material, a silicon nitride material, a silicon oxynitride material, an amorphous carbon material, a silicon carbide material and a tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) material.
