Zusammenfassung:To pattern a gate electrode, a mandrel of material is initially deposited and then patterned. In an embodiment the patterning is performed by performing a first etching process and to obtain a rough target and then to perform a second etching process with different etch parameters to obtain a precise target. The mandrel is then used to form spacers which can then be used to form masks to pattern the gate electrode.
