REGISTRATION MARK FORMATION DURING SIDEWALL IMAGE TRANSFER PROCESS

Methods of forming a registration mark may include forming a plurality of mandrels over a hard mask over a semiconductor layer, each mandrel including a spacer adjacent thereto. At least one mandrel is selected and a mask is formed over the at least one selected mandrel. The plurality of mandrels ar...

description Methods of forming a registration mark may include forming a plurality of mandrels over a hard mask over a semiconductor layer, each mandrel including a spacer adjacent thereto. At least one mandrel is selected and a mask is formed over the at least one selected mandrel. The plurality of mandrels are removed leaving the spacers, the mask preventing removal of the at least one selected mandrel. The mask is removed. A first etching patterns the sub-lithographic structures and the registration mark into the hard mask using the spacers as a pattern and the at least one selected mandrel and adjacent spacer for the registration mark. A second etching forms the sub-lithographic structures in the semiconductor layer using the patterned hard mask and to form the registration mark in the semiconductor layer using the at least one selected mandrel and the patterned hard mask.
