Abstract:
Embodiments of semiconductor devices and methods for forming the semiconductor devices are disclosed. In an example, a method for forming device openings includes forming a material layer over a first region and a second region of a substrate, the first region being adjacent to the second region, forming a mask layer over the material layer, the mask layer covering the first region and the second region, and forming a patterning layer over the mask layer. The patterning layer covers the first region and the second region and including openings corresponding to the first region. The plurality of openings includes a first opening adjacent to a boundary between the first region and the second region and a second opening further away from the boundary. Along a plane parallel to a top surface of the substrate, a size of the first opening is greater than a size of the second opening.

Claim (Index 15):
The semiconductor structure of  claim 14 , wherein\n the plurality of device openings further comprises one or more first device openings adjacent to the boundary and one or more second device openings further away from the boundary than the first device openings; and the one or more first device openings and the one or more second device openings form an array comprising a plurality of rows along the first direction and a plurality of columns along the second direction, the first device openings being in a first row adjacent to the boundary and the second device openings being in at least a second row further away from the boundary along the first direction and adjacent to the first row.
