摘要:
The embodiments of the disclosure provide a patterning method, which includes the following processes. A target layer is formed on a substrate. A hard mask layer is formed over the target layer. A first patterning process is performed on the hard mask layer by using a photomask having a first pattern with a first pitch. The photomask is shifted along a first direction by a first distance. A second patterning process is performed on the hard mask layer by using the photomask that has been shifted, so as to form a patterned hard mask. The target layer is patterned using the patterned hard mask to form a patterned target layer. The target layer has a second pattern with a second pitch less than the first pitch.

A method of forming a contact structure is provided. A silicon-containing substrate is provided with a composite dielectric layer formed thereon. An opening penetrates through the composite dielectric layer and exposes a portion of the source/drain region. A titanium nitride layer is formed in the opening, and the titanium nitride layer is in contact with the exposed portion of the source/drain region. The titanium nitride layer is annealed, so that the bottom portion of the titanium nitride layer is partially transformed into a titanium silicide layer. A conductive layer is formed to fill up the opening.
