A cross-linkable diblock copolymer can facilitate multi-pitch patterning for forming an IC device. The IC device may include a metal layer with different pitches. The metal layer may include a first region having a first pitch and a second region having a second pitch that is greater than the first pitch. The cross-linkable diblock copolymer may be deposited over the metal layer. The portion of the diblock copolymer over the second region may be exposed to light (e.g., UV), which causes cross-linking of functional groups in the diblock copolymer. The cross-linking may form a structure that includes an amorphous phase of the diblock copolymer. The structure may be over and aligned with the second region of the metal layer. After the structure is formed, the diblock copolymer over the first region may self-assemble and form lamellar structures that are aligned with metal lines and insulative structures in the first region.
