Self-alignment duplex patterning method

Self-aligned double patterning formation method

A self-aligned double patterning formation method comprises the steps of providing a material layer to be etched, forming a sacrificial photoresist layer on the material layer to be etched, forming a polymer layer on the surfaces of the top and the side walls of the sacrificial photoresist layer, forming a first mask material layer on the surface of the polymer layer, and back-etching the first mask material layer to enable the first mask material layer on the two sides of the sacrificial photoresist layer to form a first mask pattern. As the polymer layer is formed on the surfaces of the top and the side walls of the sacrificial photoresist layer, and the hardness of the polymer layer is far higher than that of the sacrificial photoresist layer, the shape of the sacrificial photoresist layer does not deform due to stress generated by the first mask material layer. Moreover, the rotation angle of the polymer layer formed by the use of a deposition process and an etching process is a right angle, which enables the sidewall morphology of the final etched pattern to be good.
