Frequency tripling using spacer mask having interposed regions

A method for fabricating a semiconductor mask is described. A semiconductor stack having a sacrificial mask comprised of a series of lines is first provided. A spacer mask having spacer lines adjacent to the sidewalls of the series of lines of the sacrificial mask is then formed. The spacer mask als...

Summary:A method for fabricating a semiconductor mask is described. A semiconductor stack having a sacrificial mask comprised of a series of lines is first provided. A spacer mask having spacer lines adjacent to the sidewalls of the series of lines of the sacrificial mask is then formed. The spacer mask also has interposed lines between the spacer lines. Finally, the sacrificial mask is removed to provide only the spacer mask. The spacer mask having interposed lines triples the frequency of the series of lines of the sacrificial mask.
