Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of substantially equal-spaced first spacers having a first pitch over a substrate and forming first metal interconnecting wires utilizing the first spacers. The method also includes forming a plurality of substantially equal-spaced second spacers in such a way to abut, respectively, the plurality of first metal interconnecting wires and define a plurality of substantially equal-spaced trenches. A plurality of second metal interconnecting wires are disposed, respectively, within the trenches and the second spacers are removed, thereby defining a plurality of substantially equal-spaced channels.
