Abstract

Double plug methods for tone inversion patterning are described. In an embodiment, a method may include receiving the substrate having a multi-line layer formed thereon. Such a method may also include forming a patterned recess in the multi-line layer, the recess defining an inversion pattern on the substrate. The methods may also include depositing a first plug layer in the patterned recess using a first deposition process. Additionally, the methods may include depositing a second plug layer in the patterned recess using a second deposition process, the second deposition process being different from the first deposition process.
