    Abstract: There is disclosed a structure with a plurality of sidewalls formed in or on a plurality of mandrels over a semiconductor substrate 102 such that each of the mandrels includes a first sidewall composed of a first material 504 and a second sidewall composed of a second material 502 that is different from the first material. The two sidewalls can be deposited using an angled ion implantation. The first sidewall of a first mandrel of the plurality of mandrels is selectively removed. In addition, a pattern composed of remaining sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls is transferred onto an underlying layer to form a hard mask in the underlying layer using a sidewall image transfer method. Further, the fins are formed by employing the hard mask and etching semiconducting material in the substrate.
