Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: providing a substrate; forming a metallization layer on the substrate; forming an upper dielectric layer over the metallization layer; forming a first sacrificial layer and a second sacrificial layer, each of which penetrates the upper dielectric layer and the metallization layer; removing the upper dielectric layer; forming a width controlling structure between the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer, wherein the width controlling structure defines a recess exposing the metallization layer; forming a protective layer within the recess of the width controlling structure; removing the width controlling structure to expose a portion of the metallization layer; and patterning the metallization layer to form a word line between the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer.
