Abstract
Methods of forming a pattern on a substrate include forming carbon-comprising material over a base material, and spaced first features over the carbon-comprising material. Etching is conducted only partially into the carbon-comprising material and spaced second features are formed within the carbon-comprising material which comprise the partially etched carbon-comprising material. Spacers can be formed along sidewalls of the spaced second features. The carbon-comprising material can be etched through to the base material using the spacers as a mask. Spaced third features can be formed which comprise the anisotropically etched spacers and the carbon-comprising material.
