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.

Abstract: A patterning method for forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A substrate having a hard mask disposed thereon is provided. A first patterned layer is formed on the hard mask layer. A first self-aligned double patterning process based on the first patterned layer is performed to pattern the hard mask layer into a first array pattern and a first peripheral pattern. After that, a second patterned layer is formed on the substrate. A second self-aligned double patterning process based on the second patterned layer is performed to pattern the first array pattern into a second array pattern. Subsequently, a third patterned layer is formed on the substrate. An etching process using the third patterned mask layer as an etching mask is performed to etch the first peripheral pattern thereby patterning the first peripheral pattern into a second peripheral pattern.

Abstract: A patterning method includes the following steps. A second mask layer is formed on a first mask layer. A patterning process is performed to the first mask layer and the second mask layer. The first mask layer is patterned to be a first mask pattern, and the second mask layer is patterned to be a second mask pattern formed on the first mask pattern. A first trim process is performed to the second mask pattern. A width of the second mask pattern is smaller than a width of the first mask pattern after the first trim process. A cover layer is formed covering the first mask pattern and the second mask pattern after the first trim process, and an etching process is performed to the first mask pattern after the step of forming the cover layer.
