    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor device, comprising: first, a target layer is provided, an etching stop layer is formed on the target layer, afterwards, a first photoresist layer is formed on the etching stop layer, and a first etching process is then performed, to forma plurality of first trenches in the etching stop layer. Next, a second photoresist layer is formed on the etching stop layer, portion of the second photoresist layer fills in each first trench, a second etching process is then performed to form a plurality of second trenches in the etching stop layer, and using the remaining etching stop layer as a hard mask, a third etching process is performed to remove parts of the target layer.

    Abstract: A patterning method includes the following steps. A layout pattern is provided to a computer system. The layout pattern includes stripe patterns, and each of the stripe patterns extends in a first direction. Mandrel patterns are formed corresponding to a part of the stripe patterns. Each of the mandrel patterns extends in the first direction. A modification is performed to the mandrel patterns for elongating at least a part of the mandrel patterns in the first direction. Ends of the mandrel patterns in the first direction are aligned in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction after the modification. The mandrel patterns are outputted to a photomask after the modification. A photolithography process using the photomask is performed for forming a patterned structure on a substrate. By performing the modification to the mandrel patterns, design flexibility of the layout pattern corresponding to the patterning method may be enhanced.

    Abstract: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes a substrate, a first metal layer, a deposition structure, a dielectric layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer is disposed on the substrate and has a planarized surface. The deposition structure is disposed on the first metal layer, and at least a portion of the deposition structure extends into the planarized surface, wherein the first metal layer and the deposition structure have the same material. The dielectric layer is disposed on the deposition structure. The second metal layer is disposed on the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first inter metal dielectric (IMD) layer, a second inter metal dielectric layer and a third inter metal dielectric layer sequentially arranged on the substrate. The first inter metal dielectric layer includes at least one first wire, the second inter metal dielectric layer includes at least one mask layer, and the third inter metal dielectric layer includes at least one third wire and a super via. The super via penetrates through the second inter metal dielectric layer, and electrically connect to the first wire and the third wire, and part of the super via directly contacts the mask layer in the second inter metal dielectric layer.
