Abstract
A method for fabricating a patterned structure in a semiconductor device is provided. First, a substrate with a first region and a second region is provided. Then, a plurality of sacrificial patterns is respectively formed within the first region and the second region. A first spacer is then formed on the sidewalls of each of the sacrificial patterns followed by forming a mask layer to cover the sacrificial patterns located within the first region. Finally, the first spacer exposed from the mask layer is trimmed to be a second spacer and the mask layer is then removed.
