Integration of device regions

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a method for creating regions of different device types. The substrate is divided into a first device region and a second device region. A target etch layer is formed on a substrate. A bottom mandrel layer is formed on the target etch layer. A plurality of first pillars of a top mandrel material is formed on the bottom mandrel layer in the first device region, having a first pitch. A plurality of first spacers is formed along sidewalls of each of the plurality of first pillars. An optical planarization layer (OPL) is formed over the plurality of first pillars, the plurality of first spacers, and a top surface of the bottom mandrel layer in the first device region. A plurality of second pillars of the top mandrel material is formed on the bottom mandrel layer in the second device region, having a second pitch.
