Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor memory device includes following steps. First of all, a dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a conductive pad is formed in the dielectric layer. Then, a stacked structure is formed on the dielectric layer, and the stacked structure includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer stacked one over another on the conductive pad. Next, a patterned mask layer is formed on the stacked structure, and a portion of the stacked structure is removed, to form an opening in the stacked structure, with the opening having a tapered sidewall in the second layer and the first layer. After that, the tapered sidewall of the opening in the second layer is vertically etched, to form a contact opening in the stacked structure. Finally, the patterned mask layer is removed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor structure including the following steps. Firstly, a target layer is formed on a substrate, and a plurality of mandrels is formed on the target layer. Next, a material layer is formed on the target layer to cover the mandrels. Then, an etching process is performed to partially remove each of the mandrel and the material layer covered on each mandrel, to form a plurality of mask. Finally, the target layer is patterned through the masks, to form a plurality of patterns. Through the present invention, each mask comprises an unetched portion of each mandrel and a spacer portion of the material covered on each mandrel, and a dimension of each of the patterns is larger than a dimension of each of the mandrel.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a patterned structure includes the following steps. A pattern transfer layer is formed on a material layer. The pattern transfer layer is formed above a first region and a second region. First patterns are formed on the pattern transfer layer. A mask layer is formed. A first part of the mask layer covers the first patterns above the first region. A first cap layer is formed covering the first part of the mask layer and the first patterns above the second region. The first cap layer covering the first part of the mask layer is removed for exposing the first part of the mask layer. The first part of the mask layer is removed. A first etching process is performed to the pattern transfer layer with the first patterns above the first region as a mask after removing the first part of the mask layer.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a contact hole and a fuse hole includes providing a dielectric layer. A conductive pad and a fuse are disposed within the dielectric layer. Then, a first mask is formed to cover the dielectric layer. Later, a first removing process is performed by taking the first mask as a mask to remove part the dielectric layer to form a first trench. The conductive pad is disposed directly under the first trench and does not expose through the first trench. Subsequently, the first mask is removed. After that, a second mask is formed to cover the dielectric layer. Then, a second removing process is performed to remove the dielectric layer directly under the first trench to form a contact hole and to remove the dielectric layer directly above the fuse by taking the second mask as a mask to form a fuse hole.

First of all, a material layer is formed on a substrate, and a sidewall image transferring process is performed to form plural first mask patterns on the material layer, with the first mask patterns parallel extended along a first direction. Next, a pattern splitting process is performed to remove a portion of the first mask patterns to form plural second openings, with the second openings parallel extended along a second direction, across the first mask patterns. Then, the material layer is patterned by using rest portions of the first mask patterns as a mask to form plural patterns arranged in an array.
