    Abstract: Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices are provided including performing two photolithography processes and two spacer processes such that patterns are formed to have a pitch that is smaller than a limitation of photolithography process. Furthermore, line and pad portions are simultaneously defined by performing the photolithography process once and, thus, there is no necessity to perform an additional photolithography process for forming the pad portion. Related devices are also provided.
