Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming semiconductor devices are provided. A method includes forming a first mask layer over a target layer, forming a plurality of spacers over the first mask layer, and forming a second mask layer over the plurality of spacers and patterning the second mask layer to form a first opening, where in a plan view a major axis of the opening extends in a direction that is perpendicular to a major axis of a spacer of the plurality of spacers. The method also includes depositing a sacrificial material in the opening, patterning the sacrificial material, etching the first mask layer using the plurality of spacers and the patterned sacrificial material, etching the target layer using the etched first mask layer to form second openings in the target layer, and filling the second openings in the target layer with a conductive material.

Claim (Index 12):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the target width of the first opening is determined by virtually designing a semiconductor device to be formed using a processing system.
