Abstract:
A plurality of gate stacks is formed over a substrate. The gate stacks are surrounded by a dielectric structure. A plurality of contact-line-blocking patterns is formed over the dielectric structure. The contact-line-blocking patterns are formed using three or more lithography masks. A plurality of trenches is formed in the dielectric structure. The contact-line-blocking patterns serve as protective masks for the dielectric structure to prevent trenches from being formed in portions of the dielectric structure underneath the contact-line-blocking patterns. The trenches are filled with a conductive material to form a plurality of contact lines of the SRAM device.

Claim (Index 20):
The system of  claim 19 , wherein:\n the SRAM device includes a first Vcc contact, a second Vcc contact, a first Vss contact, a second Vss contact, a first node contact, a second node contact, a first BL contact, and a second BL contact; the one or more first mask patterns are configured to at least partially define boundaries of the first Vcc contact, the second Vcc contact, the first Vss contact, and the second Vss contact; the one or more second mask patterns are configured to at least partially define boundaries of the first node contact, the second node contact, the first BL contact, and the second BL contact; and the one or more third mask patterns are configured to at least partially define boundaries of the first BL contact, the second BL contact, the first Vcc contact, and the second Vcc contact.
