Abstract: A method of forming a layout definition of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. Firstly, a plurality of first patterns is established to form a material layer over a substrate, with the first patterns being regularly arranged in a plurality of columns along a first direction to form an array arrangement. Next, a plurality of second patterns is established to surround the first patterns. Then, a third pattern is established to form a blocking layer on the material layer, with the third pattern being overlapped with a portion of the second patterns and with at least one of the second patterns being partially exposed from the third pattern. Finally, the first patterns are used to form a plurality of first openings in a stacked structure on the substrate to expose a portion of the substrate respectively.

Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor mask includes the following steps. A bulk mandrel and a plurality of strip mandrels are formed on a mask layer. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the bulk mandrel and the strip mandrels. The strip mandrels are removed while the bulk mandrel is reserved. A material fills in space between the spacers and on the bulk mandrel, wherein the material has a flat top surface. A patterned photoresist is formed to cover the bulk mandrel and a part of the spacers but exposing the other part of the spacers after filling the material.

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.
