Abstract

See full text

Described herein are IC devices include patterned conductive layers, such as metal gratings and gate layers, and patterned layers formed over the patterned conductive layers using a directed self-assembly (DSA)-enabled process with DSA assisting features. A patterned conductive layer may have non-uniform features, such as large regions of insulator within a metal grating, or varying gate lengths across a gate layer. The DSA assisting features enable the formation of patterned layers, e.g., layers with different hard mask materials replicating the structure of the conductive layer below, even over non-uniform features.
