Abstract
A method for a photolithographic fabricating process to define pillars having small pitch and pillar size. The method includes coating a hard mask layer of a wafer with a photoresist. The wafer is exposed with a first line pattern comprising a plurality of parallel lines in a first direction. The wafer is then exposed with a second line pattern comprising a plurality of parallel lines in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The wafer is then developed to remove areas of the photoresist that were exposed by the first line pattern and the second line pattern resulting in a plurality of pillars.
