The invention is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device and such semiconductor
device. The semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit pattern including
a horizontal line, a vertical line and a space therebetween, the space including
a precise width dimension. The method includes the steps of: forming a photosensitive
layer to be patterned, patterning the photosensitive layer to form a pattern including
a master horizontal line and a master vertical line without a space therebetween,
transferring the pattern to at least one underlying layer using the patterned photosensitive
layer, forming a second photosensitive layer over the patterned at least one underlying
layer, patterning the second photosensitive layer to form a second pattern including
a master space aligned to dissect a horizontal line and a vertical line formed
in the at least one underlying layer, and transferring the second pattern to the
at least one underlying layer to form a third pattern including a horizontal line
and a vertical line with a space therebetween, the space including a precise width dimension.
