Abstract: The present invention provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor pattern. Firstly, a substrate is provided, having an oxide layer thereon and a first material layer on the oxide layer, a first region and a second region are defined on the substrate. A first etching step is performed, to remove a portion of the first material layer in the first region, and then a plurality of first patterns are formed on the first material layer in the first region. A second composite layer is formed on the first pattern. Next, a second pattern layer is formed on the second composite layer in the first region, and a second etching step is performed, using the first pattern and the second pattern as a mask, to remove a portion of the second composite layer, a portion of the first material layer and a portion of the oxide layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a layout of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. First line patterns extend along a first direction in a first area and a second area, but the first line patterns extend along a second direction in a boundary area. Second line patterns extend along a third direction in the first area and the second area, but the second line patterns extend along a fourth direction in the boundary area, so that minimum distances between overlapping areas of the first line patterns and the second line patterns in the boundary area are larger than minimum distances between overlapping areas of the first line patterns and the second line patterns in the first area and the second area. A trimming process is performed to shade the first line patterns and the second line patterns in the boundary area and the second area.
