A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes the following operations. A buffer layer is formed over a substrate. A first top hard mask is formed on the buffer layer, in which the first top hard mask has a first trench to expose a first portion of the buffer layer. A spacer layer is formed to cover a sidewall of the first trench and an upper surface of the first top hard mask and the first portion of the buffer layer to form a second trench over the first portion. The top portion and the bottom portion are etched to form a thinned top portion and a thinned bottom portion. A second top hard mask is formed in the second trench. The thinned top portion and the vertical portion of the spacer layer are removed.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor structure

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing semiconductor structures. The method includes the following steps: A substrate is provided. A plurality of first core features spaced apart from each other is formed over the substrate. A spacer layer is formed over the first core features, and the spacer layer is formed to cover sidewalls and top surfaces of each first core feature. A plurality of second core features is formed over the substrate, and portions of the spacer layer are exposed through the second core features. A densification treatment is performed on the second core features, and the spacer layer is removed to form a plurality of openings between the first core features and the second core features.
