A method for forming a semiconductor structure including forming a plurality of mandrel lines on a first dielectric layer and forming one or more groups of discontinuous mandrel line pairs with a first mask. The method further includes disposing a second dielectric layer, and forming dielectric spacers on sidewalls of the mandrel lines and the discontinuous mandrel line pairs. The method further includes removing the mandrel lines and the discontinuous mandrel line pairs to form spacer masks, forming one or more groups of blocked regions using a second mask, and forming openings extended through the first dielectric layer with a conjunction of the spacer masks and the second mask. The method also includes removing the spacer masks and the second mask, disposing an objective material in the openings, and forming objective lines with top surfaces coplanar with the top surfaces of the first dielectric layer.

Method and structure for cutting dense line patterns using self-aligned double patterning

Embodiments of three-dimensional (3D) memory devices having source contact structure in a memory stack are disclosed. The 3D memory device has a memory stack that includes a plurality of interleaved conductor layers and insulating layers extending over a substrate, a plurality of channel structures each extending vertically through the memory stack into the substrate, and a source contact structure extending vertically through the memory stack and extending laterally to separate the memory stack into a first portion and a second portion. The source contact structure may include a plurality of source contacts each electrically coupled to a common source of the plurality of channel structures.
