Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises patterning a layer of photoresist material to form a plurality of mandrels in a device array region. The method further comprises depositing an oxide material over the plurality of mandrels and over a device peripheral region. The method further comprises forming a pattern of photoresist material over the oxide material in the device peripheral region. The method further comprises anisotropically etching the oxide material from exposed horizontal surfaces in the device array region. The method further comprises selectively etching photoresist material from the device array region and from the device peripheral region.
