    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.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, plural gates, plural cell plugs, a capacitor structure and a stacked structure. The gates are disposed in the substrate, and the cell plugs are disposed on the substrate, to electrically connect the substrate at two sides of each gate. The capacitor structure includes plural capacitors, and each capacitor is electrically connected each cell plug. The stacked structure covers the capacitor structure, and the stacked structure includes a semiconductor layer, a conductive layer on the semiconductor layer and an insulating layer stacked on the conductive layer. Two gaps are defined respectively between a side portion of the insulating layer and a lateral portion of the conductive layer at two sides of the capacitor structure, and the two gaps have different lengths.
