Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a first conductive line in a closed curve defining a local area on a substrate. The first conductive line has a first end portion and a second end portion. A second conductive line is outside the local area. The second conductive line has a linear line portion along the closed curve and a bulging end portion along the closed curve. The bulging end portion protrudes from the linear line portion toward the first end portion of the first conductive line in the second lateral direction and protrudes further than the first end portion to the outside of the local area. A method of manufacturing an IC device includes forming a first reference pattern having a mandrel hole. A reference spacer is formed inside the mandrel hole. A second reference pattern is formed. The second reference pattern has a shift hole.
