Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a to-be-etched layer, including alternately arranged first regions and second regions in a first direction. Each first region adjoins adjacent second regions, and each second region includes a trench region. The method includes forming a first mask layer on the to-be-etched layer; implanting doping ions into the first mask layer outside of the trench region; forming a doped separation layer in the first mask layer of the second region to divide the first mask layer into portions arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; forming a first trench in the first mask layer of the first region; and removing the first mask layer formed in the trench region on both sides of the doped separation layer to form a second trench divided into portions arranged in the second direction by the doped separation layer.
