Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a pattern having first and second line features extending in a first direction on a substrate. After depositing a photoresist layer on the substrate to cover the pattern, the photoresist layer is patterned to form a cut pattern including first and second cut features exposing portions of the respective first and second line features. In a top view, at least one of the first and second cut features is asymmetrically arranged with respect to a central axis of a corresponding first or second line feature. At least one angled ion implantation is performed to enlarge the first and second cut features in at least one direction perpendicular to the first direction. The portions of the first and second line features exposed by the respective first and second cut features are then removed.
