    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor memory device includes following steps. Bit line structures and storage node contacts are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A first sidewall spacer is formed on sidewalls of each bit line structure. A conductive layer covering the bit line structures, the first sidewall spacer, and the storage node contacts is formed. A first patterning process is preformed to the conductive layer for forming stripe contact structures. Each stripe contact structure is elongated in the first direction and corresponding to the storage node contacts. The first sidewall spacer at a first side of each bit line structure is exposed by the first patterning process. The first sidewall spacer at a second side of each bit line structure is covered by the stripe contact structures. The first sidewall spacer exposed by the first patterning process is removed for forming first air spacers.

    Abstract: A method of forming a layout pattern is disclosed. First, an array comprising a plurality of main features is provided wherein the main features are arranged into a plurality of rows along a first direction and are parallel and staggered along a second direction. Assistant features are inserted into each row of the main features. A shortest distance d1 between the main features in row n to the main features in row n+1 and a shortest distance d2 between the main feature in row n−1 to the main feature in row n+1 are obtained. The assistance features inserted in row n of the main features are then adjusted according to the difference between the distances d1 and d2. After that, the main features and the assistant features are output to a photo mask.
