다중패터닝(Multiple patterning)은 피처 밀도(Feature density)를 증가시키기 위한 포토리소그래피를 위해 개발된 기술을 지칭한다. 예를 들어 이중패터닝에서는 피처의 예상 개수가 2배로 생성되도록 리소그래피 공정이 늘어나는바, 구체적으로 2회의 노광 및 2회의 식각 공정이 수행되게 된다.Multiple patterning refers to a technique developed for photolithography to increase feature density. For example, in double patterning, the lithography process is increased so that the expected number of features is doubled. Specifically, two exposures and two etching processes are performed.
