Methods of patterning a blanket layer (a target etch layer) on a substrate are described. The methods involve multiple patterning steps of a mask layer several layers above the target etch layer. The compound pattern, made from multiple patterning steps, is later transferred in one set of operations through the stack to save process steps.
1. A method of patterning a substrate, the method comprising forming a first layer of photoresist on a stack of materials on the substrate, wherein the stack of materials comprises a blanket top mask layer over a blanket etch stop layer over an anti-reflective coating over a target etch layer;patter

A method of patterning a substrate, the method comprising forming a first layer of photoresist on a stack of materials on the substrate, wherein the stack of materials comprises a blanket top mask layer over a blanket etch stop layer over an anti-reflective coating over a target etch layer;patterning the first layer of photoresist to form a first pattern;etching the first pattern into the blanket top mask layer to form a first patterned top mask layer;removing any remaining material from the first layer of photoresist;forming a second layer of photoresist on the first patterned top mask layer;patterning the second layer of photoresist to form a second pattern;etching the second pattern into the first patterned top mask layer to form a second patterned top mask layer; andetching the first pattern and the second pattern into the stack of materials, wherein the first pattern and the second pattern are formed in the stack of materials during the same etching operations. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the blanket top mask layer, first patterned top mask layer and second patterned top mask layer are transparent from 20 nm to 700 nm. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising removing any remaining material from the second layer of photoresist after etching the second pattern into the first patterned top mask layer. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the blanket top mask layer contacts the blanket etch stop layer, the blanket etch stop layer contacts the anti-reflective coating, and the anti-reflective coating contacts the target etch layer. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the operation of etching the first pattern and the second pattern into the stack of materials comprises etching through the target etch layer. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein a linear density of features along a direction of the second patterned top mask layer is twice a linear density of features along the direction of the first patterned top mask layer. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein a linear density of features along a direction of the second patterned top mask layer is an integer greater than one times a linear density of features along the direction of the first patterned top mask layer. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the anti-reflective coating comprises silicon, oxygen and nitrogen. 9. A method of patterning a substrate, the method comprising forming a first layer of photoresist on a stack of materials on the substrate, wherein the stack of materials comprises a blanket top mask layer over a blanket etch stop layer over an anti-reflective coating over a target etch layer;patterning the first layer of photoresist to form a first pattern;etching the first pattern into the blanket top mask layer to form a first patterned top mask layer;forming a second layer of photoresist on the first patterned top mask layer;patterning the second layer of photoresist to form a second pattern;etching the second pattern into the first patterned top mask layer to form a second patterned top mask layer;forming a third layer of photoresist on the second patterned top mask layer;patterning the third layer of photoresist to form a third pattern;etching the third pattern into the second patterned top mask layer to form a third patterned top mask layer; andetching the first pattern, the second pattern and the third pattern into the stack of materials, wherein the first pattern, the second pattern and the third pattern are formed in the stack of materials during the same etching operations. 10.
