Method of line cut by multi-color patterning technique

Abstract

Methods and systems for line cut by multi-color patterning techniques are presented. In an embodiment, a method may include providing a substrate. The method may also include forming a first feature on the substrate, the first feature having a cap formed of a first material. Additionally, the method may include forming a second feature on the substrate, the second feature having a cap formed of a second material. In still a further embodiment, the method may include selectively removing the second feature using an etch process that etches the first material at a first etch rate and etches the second material at a second etch rate, wherein the second etch rate is higher than the first etch rate.
