Reduction of a Feature Dimension in a Nano-Scale Device.

摘要

Nano-scale devices and methods provide reduced feature dimensions of features on the devices. A surface of a device substrate having a pattern of spaced apart first nanowires is consumed, such that a dimension of the first nanowires is reduced. A second nanowire is formed in a trench or gap between adjacent ones of the first nanowires, such that the nano-scale device includes a set of features that includes the first nanowires with the reduced dimension and the second nanowire spaced from the adjacent first nanowires by sub-trenches.
