    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved double patterning method for forming openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas on a substrate. This method avoids the wafer topography effects seen in prior art double patterning techniques by ensuring that the substrate itself is only subjected to a single etch process. Specifically, in the method, a first mask layer is formed on the substrate and processed such that it has a doped region and multiple undoped regions within the doped region. Then, either the undoped regions or the doped region can be selectively removed in order to form a mask pattern above the substrate. Once the mask pattern is formed, an etch process can be performed to transfer the mask pattern into the substrate. Depending upon whether the undoped regions are removed or the doped region is removed, the mask pattern will form openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas, respectively, on the substrate.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is formed by first providing a dual gate semiconductor device structure having FET pair precursors, which includes an nFET precursor and a pFET precursor, wherein each of the nFET precursor and the pFET precursor includes a dummy gate structure. At least one protective layer is deposited across the FET pair precursors, leaving the dummy gate structures exposed. The dummy gate structure is removed from one of the nFET precursor and the pFET precursor to create therein one of an nFET gate hole and a pFET gate hole, respectively. A fill is deposited into the formed one of the nFET gate hole and the pFET gate.

    Abstract: Asymmetric FET devices, and a method for fabricating such asymmetric devices on a fin structure is disclosed. The fabrication method includes disposing over the fin a high-k dielectric layer followed by a threshold- modifying layer, performing an ion bombardment at a tilted angle which removes the threshold-modifying layer over one of the fin's side-surfaces. The completed FET devices will be asymmetric due to the threshold-modifying layer being present only in one of two devices on the side of the fin. In an alternate embodiment further asymmetries are introduced, again using tilted ion implantation, resulting in differing gate-conductor materials for the two FinFET devices on each side of the fin.
