Abstract

A method for forming patterns comprises providing a substrate. A set of seed features is formed over the substrate. At least one bi-layer comprising a first layer followed by a second layer is formed on the set of seed features. The first layer and the second layer above the set of seed features are removed. The first layer and the second layer are anisotropically etched successively at least one time to form an opening next to the set of seed features.
