Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a fin structure is provided. A method according to an embodiment may include: forming a patterned pattern transfer layer on a substrate; forming a first spacer on sidewalls of the pattern transfer layer; forming a second spacer on sidewalls of the first spacer; selectively removing the pattern transfer layer and the first spacer; and patterning the substrate with the second spacer as a mask, so as to form an initial fin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for manufacturing a fin structure, comprising: forming a patterned pattern transfer layer on a substrate; forming a first spacer on sidewalls of the pattern transfer layer with the same material as the pattern transfer layer; forming a second spacer on sidewalls of the first spacer; selectively removing the pattern transfer layer and the first spacer at the same time; and patterning the substrate with the second spacer as a mask, so as to form an init…
