A flash memory device includes an active region, drain contacts, a source contact line, and source contacts. The active regions are formed on a substrate extend at least from a source region to a drain region of the substrate. The drain contacts are formed over the active regions in the drain region. The source contact line is formed in the source region of the semiconductor substrate. The source contact line intersects the active regions and is continuously line-shaped. The source contact line includes source contacts formed at locations where the source contact line and the active regions intersect. The source contacts are zigzag-shaped and are separated from corresponding drain contacts by a given distance.

Flash memory device and mask for fabricating the same

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes fine patterns having various critical dimensions (CDs) by adjusting a thickness of spacer used as an etching mask in Spacer Patterning Technology (SPT). The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming spacers at a different level over an etching target layer and etching the etching target layer exposed among the spacers.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor device

An exposure apparatus of a semiconductor device may include an exposure light source; an asymmetric adjustment filter for asymmetrically adjusting intensity of a light which passes through the exposure light source; a photomask for passing the light of which intensity is adjusted by the asymmetric adjustment filter; a projection lens for projecting the light passing through the photomask; and a wafer stage for mounting a wafer on which an image is formed by the light from the projection lens.

Exposure apparatus capable of asymmetrically adjusting light intensity

Disclosed is a photomask for forming a contact hole arranged on a wafer in a zigzag form along a transverse direction, including: a light transmitting substrate; a main pattern disposed on the light transmitting substrate with a zigzag form as an upper main pattern disposed in a relatively upper portion and a lower main pattern disposed in a relatively lower portion are arranged alternately along a transverse direction; a first lower auxiliary pattern extending in a vertical direction and disposed adjacently to a lower portion of the upper main pattern; a first upper auxiliary pattern extending in a vertical direction and disposed adjacently to an upper portion of the lower main pattern; a second lower auxiliary pattern extending in the transverse direction and connecting the first lower auxiliary patterns with each other; and a second upper auxiliary pattern extending in the transverse direction and connecting the first upper auxiliary patterns with each other.
