Abstract
A semiconductor fabricating process is provided. First, a substrate is provided. The substrate has thereon a stacked structure and a mask layer disposed on the stacked structure. Thereafter, an oxide layer is formed on a surface of the mask layer and a surface of at least a portion of the stacked structure. Afterwards, a first spacer is formed on a sidewall of the stacked structure. Then, a second spacer is formed on a sidewall of the first spacer. Further, a first etching process is performed to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the mask layer. Thereafter, a second etching process is performed to simultaneously remove the mask layer and the second spacer.
