Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate including spaced-apart active regions, and device isolating regions isolating the active regions from each other, and a pillar array pattern including a plurality of pillar patterns overlapping the active regions, the plurality of pillar patterns being spaced apart from each other at an equal distance in a first direction and in a second direction intersecting the first direction, wherein the plurality of pillar patterns include first pillar patterns and second pillar patterns disposed alternatingly in the first direction and in the second direction, a shape of a horizontal cross section of the first pillar patterns being different from a shape of a horizontal cross section of the second pillar patterns.

Claim (Index 38):
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n sequentially forming first and second mask layers on a substrate; forming core mask patterns spaced apart from each other by a first equal distance, by patterning the second mask layer; forming a spacer film conformally covering the core mask patterns, while forming self-aligning grooves between the core mask patterns; forming a filler to entirely fill the self-aligning grooves; forming self-aligning mask patterns between the core mask patterns by removing a portion of the spacer film, wherein the self-aligning mask patterns are formed as a stacked portion of the spacer film and the filler, and the core mask patterns and the self-aligning mask patterns are spaced apart from each other by a second equal distance; patterning the first mask layer into a first mask pattern, with the core mask patterns and the self-aligning mask patterns as a mask; and forming a pillar array pattern by patterning with the first mask pattern as a mask.
