    Abstract: A method of processing a substrate includes forming first photoresist on a substrate. A portion of the first photoresist is selectively exposed to actinic energy and then the first photoresist is negative tone developed to remove an unexposed portion of the first photoresist. Second photoresist is formed on the substrate over the developed first photoresist. A portion of the second photoresist is selectively exposed to actinic energy and then the second photoresist is negative tone developed to remove an unexposed portion of the second photoresist and form a pattern on the substrate which comprises the developed first photoresist and the developed second photoresist. Other implementations are disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming patterns. A semiconductor substrate is formed to comprise an electrically insulative material over a set of electrically conductive structures. An interconnect region is defined across the electrically conductive structures, and regions on opposing sides of the interconnect region are defined as secondary regions. A two-dimensional array of features is formed over the electrically insulative material. The two-dimensional array extends across the interconnect region and across the secondary regions. A pattern of the two-dimensional array is transferred through the electrically insulative material of the interconnect region to form contact openings that extend through the electrically insulative material and to the electrically conductive structures, and no portions of the two-dimensional array of the secondary regions is transferred into the electrically insulative material.

    Abstract: A method of forming a reversed pattern in a substrate. A resist on a substrate is exposed and developed to form a pattern therein, the patterned resist having a first polarity. The polarity of the patterned resist is reversed to a second polarity, and a reversal film is formed over the patterned resist having the second polarity. The patterned resist having the second polarity is removed, forming a pattern in the reversal film. The pattern in the reversal film is then transferred to the substrate.
