摘要:
A method of forming a small pitch pattern using double spacers is provided. A material layer and first hard masks are used and characterized by a line pattern having a smaller line width than a separation distance between adjacent mask elements. A first spacer layer covering sidewall portions of the first hard mask and a second spacer layer are formed, and spacer-etched, thereby forming a spacer pattern-shaped second hard mask on sidewall portions of the first hard mask. A portion of the second spacer layer between the first hard mask and the second hard mask is selectively removed. The material layer is selectively etched using the first and second hard masks as etch masks, thereby forming the small pitch pattern.

A method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device using a fine pitch hard mask is provided. A first hard mask pattern including first line patterns formed on an etch target layer of a substrate with a first pitch is formed. A first layer including a top surface where a recess is formed between adjacent first line patterns is formed. A second hard mask pattern including second line patterns within the recess is formed. An anisotropic etching process is performed on the first layer using the first and the second line patterns as an etch mask. Another anisotropic etching process is performed on the etch target layer using the first and the second hard mask patterns as an etch mask.

摘要:
A semiconductor device has a structure of contacts whose size and pitch are finer that those that can be produced under the resolution provided by conventional photolithography. The contact structure includes a semiconductor substrate, an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the substrate, annular spacers situated in the interlayer insulating layer, first contacts surrounded by the spacers, and a second contact buried in the interlayer insulating layer between each adjacent pair of the first spacers. The contact structure is formed by forming first contact holes in the interlayer insulating layer, forming the spacers over the sides of the first contact holes to leave second contact holes within the first contact holes, etching the interlayer insulating layer from between the spacers using the first spacers as an etch mask to form third contact holes, and filling the first and second contact holes with conductive material. In this way, the pitch of the contacts can be half that of the first contact holes.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device is disclosed. The method may include forming an etching target layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a sacrificial mold layer on the etching target layer, forming a photoresist pattern of a first image on the sacrificial mold layer, patterning the sacrificial mold layer using the photoresist pattern of the first image as an etching mask to form sacrificial molds, removing the photoresist pattern of the first image, forming a mask which fills portions between the sacrificial molds and may be an inverse image of the first image and etching the sacrificial molds and the etching target layer using the mask as the etching mask.
